Huge kid at 6'6", decent numbers in the OHL with progress every year... why not.
If they wanted to get him in a game would he need an ATO? Or is the first year of the contract this current season?

If he has the drive and spends the summer with our skating coaches, who knows how he can progress?His skating is awful. Hes not NHL ready and wont be for a while.
Still, an interesting project.

This is a big get on an AHL deal.
Should start immediately.
Awesome that he chose us, because if a team eventually offers him an NHL deal, gotta think he’d give us a chance to also offer him one
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an NHL deal on the table (not going to pretend to know whether there was or wasn't). 130K now could be better than some ELC offer, and he could be thinking he can develop better with the Marlies and get a more lucrative ELC on his next contract.
Can’t believe we landed him on an AHL deal lol, kid probably got 15 NHL offers
