I completely agree. He's going to be a solid player for a long, long time.
Can anyone give any info on Brett MacLean? I haven't been able to see him yet.
i love MacLean. He's was our biggest riser in the first round, going from 34th to 21st in the past month. Every time I see him lately he's a dominating presence. Great hands, great shot, and has been improving his effort, skating and puckhandling as the season has gone on. He drives to the net like a power forward - I hate using the term power forward because he's not gritty like a true power foward like Cam /Neely was; but he drives to the net with power. He's a lot like Ryan in that he's a load with the puck, and hard to get it from him when he leans on you.
If he keeps on improving like he has I could honestly see him in our top 12 by season's end. We'll have a detailed writeup on him in the March issue when we profile the top forwards.
