Won WHL rookie of the year. Great kid, have known him for years. And he comes with his own nickname already, Bubba.

Getting talent should always be priority #1.

If they hit, you'll have a legit high quality NHL player. If they don't, oh well. At least it's not thug mcbruiser that has the same or probably less chance of ever playing in the NHL.

Colborne is a timeless scale for comparing players against.

Ah shoot. I thought there was still an AJHL team called the Royals. Didn't realize they are not around any more. That, combined with his size made me think he might take the university route.

The Colborne-Index is even more useful than the RGI!

Hopefully he can make it happen. Good luck!

Bubba is a great kid and a great player. Like Stroman says, height doesn't measure heart.

Just looking at footage online and that video posted by boogerz - it's hard not to love this pick.
