Was there a player in the entire organization that came so far, and as fast as Aman? He was a long-shot to make the roster out of training camp, but earned a fourth line center spot.
And although he got farmed out to Abbotsford, he didn't hang his head but worked his butt off in the AHL and than came back up after Horvat was dealt.
He'll probably never be a big-time scorer and needs improvement in the faceoff dot, but he's definitely got the size and his wheels are obviously NHL-caliber. What's intriguing is that he was beginning to show some real smarts and vision on the ice as the season wound down.
Pretty impressive for a guy drafted in the sixth round by the Avalanche and then failing to earn a contract from them. It's a big year coming up for Aman. But so far, so good.
