It'll be a couple years before he is in the show...atleast. I saw him play for the Portland Pirates and he did alright, but not much of a standout. He did have a couple key goals and one game winning goals while he was there.

the agreement with Colorado expired and Washington is now "our" affiliate.

He only played 6 games with the Pirates, might need more than that to be a standout. He had 1 goal and 1 assist(was there for the goal, row 7 behind the net, nice wrister to beat the goalie high to the glove side). He will probally need some time in the AHL to get used to the type of play, if he doesn't go to the Q first.
