The kid is 6’1 and a half and 202lbs... He's a late birthday as far as draft eligible players go. He was called one of the most NHL ready players by several scouts.

I liked the story of him sitting in Treliving's office saying "If you draft me I am going to make your team".

Seems silly to suggest there's "no way" he makes it.

I like his chances. We can certainly use the grit.
