Anyone else getting more excited the more they read up on this guy? 6'4 with a calm personality and demeanor, improved greatly after he got traded and in the sweep against Halifax he was outstanding apparently. Then in the U-18 he was MVP goaltender, crazy.
I like this because Treliving and co. know this is very early in the rebuild and are filling a hole (regardless of what posters think, and as much as I like Gillies, goaltending was certainly a hole.) If we can get a #1 center and starting goaltender in this draft, that would be insane.
Also he compares to Mike Smith, and is said to have great puck handling ability. If anyone knows how valuable a player like that is, it's Treliving.
