If this new kid delivers this is going to trend into the downright ludicrous.<br /><br />Wonder how good a shot they have at taking the WHL and heading to the Calder this season (before Pysyk et al move on).unihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101528395156137429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-21786394692315073792011-10-29T18:13:01.821-06:002011-10-29T18:13:01.821-06:00Future Considerations Scouting Report based on his...Future Considerations Scouting Report based on his play in the Upper Midwest Elite High School league as observed by regional scout Dan Shrader this season:<br /><br />Fluid skater, smooth transitions when shifting from offense to defense. Not the quickest out of the blocks, but gets around the ice at a decent pace. He makes his presence known along the wall, down behind the net and in front of the net. Is aware of his size, is not afraid to step up on anyone. Not a puck mover, but at times skates the puck up the ice with some authority. Shows he has a heavy shot from the point. His tape to tape passing is superb; very good first pass. Plays best when he stays nearer to "home", and occasionally rushing the puck up ice.Dan Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558920786170942177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-84325334763453293052011-10-28T14:05:04.386-06:002011-10-28T14:05:04.386-06:00That they already have.

Edmonton's blueline is top 3 this year, no question in my mind. <br /><br />And if this Corbett is as good as I've been told over the last couple of days... they might be THE best defensive top 6 in the league.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-43060247149584584832011-10-28T13:47:46.273-06:002011-10-28T13:47:46.273-06:00More to the point, if Edmonton wants to do some da...More to the point, if Edmonton wants to do some damage in the playoffs this year, quality defensive depth is never a bad thing.Doogie2Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703778878103452453noreply@blogger.com
