I see Tampa Bay just signed this kid to a 3 year contract. He is destroying the Q, but I know nothing John Snow. Anyone have any info on this guy? Where would he fit in Dobber's top 200 prospects? Is he the next Point?

Any info would be great.

Likely play in the AHL next year and depending on his performance there he may graduate to the show. The reason he's been passed over so many times is because he's quite undersized, is not a terrific skater and has holes in his defensive game. I am quite shocked nobody even bothered spend a 7th round pick on the guy because all he has done despite those things is tear up the Q every year he's been around. He has a great shot and vision. I wouldn't say he's the next Point because his skating is not as good but maybe the next Gourde in a couple of years?

Johnson, Marchessault, Gourde...

Any time Yzerman picks up an undersized guy everyone else passed on, you should be writing his name down.

He’ll be on my list at my next prospects draft...

Just signed him to my farm team. I think he has potential. Like Savvy said, every undersized fwd Tampa signs turns out to be good players couple of years after. I think he's worth taking a chance.
