Tell me about this guy. Potential ? Upside ? etc..

Kevin Forbes can speak to him better than me, but right now he isn't doing much of anything because of concussion symptons. His still fighting some headaches.

Tell me about this guy. Potential ? Upside ? etc..

Potential: upper end 2nd line center with good two way abilities and a great passer
Flaws: Skating.....could turn out to be a poor man's Getzlaf since getz also had trouble with his skating and was/is a two way player.

Upside is a two-way second liner type. He's not going to ever be a top liner unless forced into that role, but he'll be solid enough to provide secondary offense and take care of his own zone. He's a two way guy, so think of some of the top notch guys who do everything and pot 50ish points and use that as a basis for a comparison if you'd like. All around he's a solid player. I don't think physically he'll end up as dominant as Getzlaf, but maybe along the lines of John Madden.

I could really write many pages on him at this point, and I should really have a profile set up for him, but for right now, I'll direct you to an article I wrote on him last fall: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/9335/2007_prospects_logan_macmillan/
there's also a solid mention of him in the QMJHL Top prospects article last spring:
http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/9785/top20_qmjhl_prospects_for_the2007_draft/

I was extremely surprised to see Anaheim draft him, but at the same time, I know from watching him and talking with him and those around him that he's a solid and safe pick.
