Some notes:

- Currently 21 years old (turns 22 this summer)
- Drafted as an overager (19 yrs old, almost 20) after a breakout year in the USHL (10+38=48 in his draft year -> 35+60=95 in his overager season)
- Big, big boy - 6'03-6'04 and between 213-220lbs. Despite his size, he is known as a somewhat passive player.
- Posted 19 goals & 77 pts in 78 games with Ohio State across two seasons; led the team in scoring both years, including by a 10 point margin this season. In fact, Halliday had as many assists as the 2nd highest scorer on the team had points (26)

Will he translate? Who knows. He has skill, though, and is one of Ottawa's more intriguing prospects (but that's not saying too much).

Really excited to see what he does next season.

Was a great pick and can't go wrong with that.

Big body with some skill. Should be able to be a 4th liner, but definitely has the potential to be a bit better than that.

Nice in all regards. Great to see if he can use his body a bit more in Belleville and nice to have a player with talent join the very limited pipeline.
