I've never seen him, but from what I hear, I don't see why he couldn't be a Karsums-type player. A lot of people here don't seem to think as much of him as I do, though.

I've seen him a fair bit... I think if it hadn't been for Saskatoon's lackluster season last year, you would have heard of him by now. He is pretty fast and has impressive stickhandling. He will stick up for his teammates if need be and he is a little more feisty than previous years. None the less, he is still short and small (5'9 165lbs or so) so that will definitely affect his draft ratings. Probably won't go til the middle rounds at best.

his name attracted a few people in his rookie season, which if i remember correctly, was pretty good. I stopped following his stats after i saw the decline in #'s last year.

The guy can score, he was very good in Midget a couple of years ago, I see no reason why his offense is that much worse than Danny Bertram's for example, but he is very small, it'll affect his ranking.

His size and injury problems (concussions) will be what hold him back. I think anyone with this combination of problems will slip a lot.

Right, this is the other issue with Rabbit. He has to have a healthy year for teams to even consider taking a chance on him. Talent-wise though, he's way up there.

I suspect he'll be a second or third round selection come 2005.

 

[Old Hickory]

All I can say is I hope the Kings draft him. I would get a Rabbit jersey in a heartbeat. HF would see a few articles and interviews with him too.

I don't remember him having a concussion problem. I know he hasn't been healthy 72 games of every season, but i don't think his injury problems are all that serious.
