Nate Saunders Interview

Hey.

I'm planning on interviewing (all going right) Nathan Saunders (Moncton, QMJHL) this Friday after his game against the Halifax Mooseheads.

I'm just wondering if any of you have questions you'd like to have him asked?

Thanks.

-Matt

What NHL player does he compare himself to?
How do he feel about a future defense pairing with him and O'Brian?
When does he see himself being NHL ready?
His thoughts on replacement players in the NHL?
How does he like anaheim/orange county area?

What was his experience at the September Rookie Tournament like?

Does he see himself playing in the AHL next season?

What aspects of his game does his need to work on to take the next step?

Does the physical style of his game (hitting & dropping the gloves occasionally) make it easier for him to be one of the leaders of the team? How does he see fighting affect the game, both for him and in general? What kind of d-man he wants to play with regularly, style-wise? Visors, good, bad, mandatory, does he plan to use one in the AHL/NHL? Who's his favorite player & why?

Great guys, anything else?

as a prospect who may one day play in the NHL, I would be interested to hear his take on the NHL lockout.
I would assume he's with the players due to the fact the NHLPA is doing it "for the kids coming up", but it's an answer that I'd like to hear nonetheless.

Also I'd like to hear about his experience at the WJC summer camp and on the Canada-Russia Challenge QMJHL team

His thoughts on the instigater penalty
His overall goals for his career
What are some specific things Anaheims coaching staff told him to work on
What type of game dos he expect to bring
