- He is 6'1", 173 punds and hasn't put on weight since being drafted so it doesnt seem there is much "man strength" yet to come. (caveat is that he did have mono so perhaps that slowed progress on this front.
- one that has had one good season in University hockey but doesnt have any indicator as anything more likely to have an impact than a third round pick
- one that if he returns for his senior season there will be an FA after if the Oilers dont sign him
On a positive note his biggest assets are listed as speed and creativity. Perhaps we found our replacement for RNH when he is our annual summer trade bait.

I'm not overly concerned with where he was drafted. Three years from his draft date, he does look to have taken a step forward. That's a pretty strong year with 46 points in 37 games. He led his team in scoring and that team is the #2 seed in the Frozen Four. We see lots of guys come out of college who are way more valuable than they were on their draft day.
Questions I'd have on this are:
1) Is he a UFA after next season? Does he want to finish school or sign a pro deal? If the he's going to play out his last year at Michigan and then become a free agent, it will be hard to talk him in to signing before free agency because he would be able to call his shot. If he wants to turn pro now, that might be a different discussion.
It makes sense to ask why Philly is dealing him - have they had all those discussions and heard that he wants to go another year in the NCAA? Is Philly just realizing on an asset before losing it for nothing in a year?
2) What's the plan for him? Is he bolstering the AHL ranks? Or are we going to rush to put him in the NHL lineup like we did with Caggiula. If he signs, I'd prefer to see him go to Bakersfield and develop a little rather than push him in to action.
3) Does our GM have a little too much of a soft spot for players who came the route he did? We're seeing a high reliance on college players - both in guys we're signing in the summer and at the draft table. If they're really the best players, that's great, but if it's just because he sees a little of himself in them, then that's less ideal.
Interesting to note that this was the third round pick we got for Maroon. That deal is now Maroon for Dudek and Marody. I think it's extremely long odds that either of these players ever approach Maroon's level of play, but on the surface, Marody looks to have more of a shot of actually playing an NHL game some day...
