2) as a canadian guy & captain of Ottawa 67's there's a good chance he will bring leadership to this team

3) small rink experience (more credible stats)

4) I think he'd be a great complement to Jankowski and/or Backlund for the top 6 as these two are more like playmaking centers
Being Canadian makes him more likely to be a leader?
