What's his injury status? He expected back in the Monarchs lineup any time soon?
Does he have any chance at making the Kings roster in the next couple seasons?
Who? Seriously, never even heard his name...
O’Neill played in 60 regular season games this season with the Monarchs. He recorded 47 points, including 26 goals. His 26 goals ranked first on the club and his 47 points ranked third. He also enjoyed a club-best plus-31 rating.
Center Jordan Weal and wingers Brian O’Neill and Sean Backman are the prototypical small and skilled line. They all skate well and they can all find the scoresheet. Weal is the biggest at 5-foot-10 and some coaches might shy away from having a line of all smaller guys.
“All three of those guys are fearless. They compete exceptionally hard. I don’t have any hang-ups about the size on that line. It’s inspiring to watch them play,” Morris said. “Their energy and their chemistry is infectious. They really enjoy playing with each other. It’s obvious what they’ve been able to bring in the way of checking, scoring and their overall compete level. For guys that aren’t that tall, they play a big game.”
