Does anyone have any thoughts on the play of Ben Eager and what type of NHL player he will be? Point expectations, what role will he play, what line will he play on, etc. All feedback positive and negative welcome.

Dr.Sens(e) said:Because of his skating, physical play and undeniable willingness to drop the gloves, he is basically assured of being a NHLer. His skating really is fantastic.
BigDaddyMeatWhistle said:I've heard that his skating is VASTLY overrated.
And that's from someone who's seen him very up close in the OHL.
He did really well at the speed test in the OHL Skill Competition before the Top Prospects game he played in. That might be where he gets the reputation as a great skater. Remember Nathan Perrott won the speed test at the Leafs skills competition.
