This kid has been nothing, but impressive in the preseason. He's been hitting, skating well, and is a big body that can clear the front of the net.
I don't know much about his hockey sense, or his skills with the puck, but a 6thh man should be able to do his damage in front of the net when the big four needs a momentum change/break.
He played defense last year. I think Wilson is just testing him out at forward because of the glut of defensemen we have. Defense is his natural position.
Hes a forward, but i agree. He has been excellent.
Rosehill over Mayers every single day of the week, month, year for me.

Just ensuring that it's clear he's not a natural forward.

He played forward for the Marlies last year, but was a defenseman for most of his career. He's still listed as a d but is a forward for intents and purposes. Teams cannot afford to play a guy like that on defense.

He played both with the Marlies last year.
I think he could be this year's Johnny Mitchell, in that he could be a dark horse and make this team as a bottom 6 guy. He's definitely impressed with some pretty good skill for a tough guy, which fits into the new enforcer mold of being able to play. He would definitely help Orr in the fighting department, and would be able to play a regular shift without being a liability.
I've been impressed by him too. He can skate pretty well, and has decent hockey skills for a fourth liner, plus I get the sense that he just loves to fight. I believe he led the AHL in fights or something last year. He would look good with Orr and Primeau on our fourth line I think. Which means bye bye Mayers.
