Any projections on this guy? When will he reach the NHL? any thoughts appreciated

Who? You guys have some deeeeep pools. There\'s talk on these boards about guys I\'ve never even heard of.

I haven\'t heard all that much about him. He\'s property of the Thrashers, is a dman with some offensive talent and great hockey sense.

I\'d say 8-27-35 70 PIMS for an upside. Probably 3-4 years away. Could be more, but I don\'t know all that much. I had to ask my friend in the maritimes about this guy, I had pretty much no clue. It\'s just what my friend thinks of the kid.

Hope that helps!

After his freshman year I thought that he was someone to watch, but his numbers since then have regressed every season. He did have a good \'06 training camp with the Thrashers, but I don\'t really see him turning into a serious fantasy asset.

He\'s one mean son of a bitch. And strong defensively. Good skating. But he\'s not someone anyone should draft. Did anyone have Todd Simpson in their keeper?

[Thieving Giraffe]

Agreed - if anything, he\'s underrated defensively. Generally when I hear him mentioned it\'s for his overhyped upside, rather than his defensive reliability. Smart kid, good to see him graduate. Despite the downgraded numbers, he\'s become more consistent every year.
