He's still under the radar and as good of a gamble as you can find.

The guy is a pure athlete. Football star - on a lot of NFL draft lists for his running game:

Reminds me of Matt Jones whom the Jags drafted a while back as QB (and tried to convert to receiver). Stick to hockey bud, you're better there.

He looks like he's got a power game to him. Decent college numbers and a surprising quick rise to the NHL. I don't think you're looking at a top line fixture, but I wouldn't rule out a more polished Clutterbuck type of player as a projection. Limited but useful effectiveness and lots of bang for buck in leagues with stats that favour his game (hits.. PIMs..special teams). Bounce between 2nd and 3rd lines type of career. With JT and Strome on Long Island, though, even quick spells in the top 6 will/should be productive.
