I really like Thomas and was extremely happy when we made this pick. I'm expecting a big year from him next season.
I had Thomas ranked 4th among OHL'ers available this year.

He was also ranked 4th in my final media/scout poll.

“He’s going to add to our skating,†Bill Armstrong said. “He’s going to make us a better-skating, smarter hockey club. He’s just a coach’s dream, does everything well. He’s got a great competitive game that he plays in all areas.â€
I'm concerned about his muffin of a shot. Teams don't have to worry about defending the shot as he's all pass...maybe the weakest shot in the first round. Hoping Hully or Chopper spend some time with him on his release.
