Since being drafted he has done a lot. Looked good in traverse, training camp, and preseason. Hopefully continues to get better.

 

[TrillMike]

Neat.

 

[Hull Fan]

Good for him. No pressure returning to the OHL. Now he can just go play and hopefully put up some nice numbers this season.

What's the ceiling looking like for this kid? How did he look in development camp?

Watched him for a bit during his time with the Bulls, definitely a talented player.

Our top reporter Mark Stepneski was very impressed http://stars.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=775582

His ceiling may not be above the 3rd line, especially considering the number of big wingers we have with more offense to their games, but future penalty killing might be weak which would be a good way for him to prove his usefulness.

I like this kid. Plays balls out.

Roussel-esque or Eakin-esque?

Roussel-esque or Eakin-esque?

I guess you could say Roussel, yeah. I'm not sure what his scoring will be like at the NHL level. Not elite, but he could surprise. Either way, his punch and his energy and his compete is what will get him to the bigs.

Roussel-esque or Eakin-esque?

Neither is really an apt comparison. More of a Patrick Sharp LITE.

The gumption he plays with is of the Roussel ilk

Looked great in the scrimmage. Clearly one of the fastest guys there, if not the fastest. That should elevate him a bit in the rankings.

He doesn't have the fighting or agitation of Roussel though. Quite the hitter when placed in such a role though.

Straight line speed is fantastic, but his agility still is still far from perfect.

NHL.com has a great article on Elie. http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=41155

You guys are definitely going to enjoy having him as he continues to develop.
