Frk not even in the top 30 on this list. How good is this guy? Are his injury problems really serious?

Frk is back playing and according to Dean, looked really good last Friday during Friday Night Hockey on Sportsnet.

I haven't seen him myself but have been told to think of Tomas Vincour size but better overall skill set.

We'll see, lots of time before the draft still.

Thanks, Guy. I'll have to keep an eye out for him.
