Continuing my series of All-Star selections, here's Columbus' nominee.

Sorry if this interview seems to assume some knowledge, I had talked to him on the Friday before as well so the Sunday interview built on that. If anything is confusing, just ask.

Great job Holly. I remember talking to him at Oilers training camp and reading your interview really felt like a conversation in itself rather than a fill-in-the-blanks discussion. His honesty comes through and I'm hoping the Oilers at least sign him to a minor league deal soon.

Thanks Guy! I just ask the questions I am truly curious about, and hopefully other people find them interesting too.

Yes he was very honest. I find that if anything, players tend to be overly honest with me sometimes, and maybe say things in an aside that they might not have said if they thought about it longer. I usually don't include those in the articles though, because I just don't see how it does anyone any good to leave them in. It's not just players who tell me too much though, I've had this problem my whole life. I think I must have one of those faces.

Great to see another Q graduate getting some minor-pro success. Good article.

One of the more underrated talents to come out of the Q in recent years... He's such a dominant pure goal scorer.
