This kid seems to have all the tools and the tool box. He could be a massive asset for us. Another fourth round gem from Todd , his grandmas favourite , button. Todd and co are quite the department compared to their contemporaries especially those from 3 hours up the road.

I have noticed him in deep by the net anD having no trouble skating back with the play when it goes the other way. He has a long wingspan and seems to use it well to lift sticks and protect the puck. I really hope he continues to develop and works his way in to a solid 3rd line C. I don't want to hope for more
