It’s too bad he missed almost an entire year with the injury, I think he would’ve pushed for a spot this year if he had been healthy. I’m with you though, he plays a pro style that should translate really well. He reminds me a lot of TJ Brodie and could be the perfect type of player to pair with Nurse.I'm really interested to see how Beau Akey's game translates when he turns pro next year. He's a really quiet prospect who could be a dark horse to make the Oilers in short order.
His game is really tidy defensively. Great gaps, a good stick and foot speed that really stands out. I dont think he'll be a big point getter, but his passing is solid.
