How would you know if he has a mean streak a mile wide? Because someone else posted it on another board? Have you seen him play? Not to take anything away from the kid, but just because he played tough in a pre-season game with the blades while he had a bird cage on, doesn't mean a bunch. Ive seen it happen time and time again, kids who chirp and play it tough while they are protected with a cage, and once they get to junior, it suddenly changes. You know why, cuz it doesn't feel too good getting punched or sticked in the moth or nose!! Only time will tell in this case.
Bottom line is no one knows what the roster will look like next year but the Wheaties coaching staff, and even they probably don't know at this point. I sure hope these kids don't read these message boards. I know most of the stuff is written by arm chair athletes who likely couldn't play the game anywhere near the major junior level, but to a young kid, perhaps they can't compute that yet. To paraphrase George McPhee, "if anyone knew anything about the game they'd be involved at some level".
