-plays simply, works very hard
-has the potential to be a good AHLer, longshot for the NHL
-they think his little brother has more potential

That's something anyways! Cheers.
Thanks much for that insight.
He may be an interesting one to watch. He comes from a family of big people (tall and big shoulders) so I doubt he's done growing yet. I held muay thai pads for him when he was in 6-7th grade. Typically, kids that age can't make your hand sting through a focus mitt. He could. Very strong as a little guy. Will be watching this draft with great interest.
