Looks like he will be a great little addition to our system. He looks like a pretty decent two way player who should be a interesting 3rd line C for us next year. I hope he is a possible Johan Franzen or "diamond in the rough" signing for us.

Wow, this kid looks pretty damn good. We have sucha deep team i have no idea where he will play, but maybe a year in GR, some retirements (Drake, etc) and he is up and rockin

You're right about our depth. We have quite a few guys in the AHL who would be playing on most other NHL teams. I don't know much about this guy, but I'm always happy to add talent and we do seem to have a great record at finding players in other countries.
