Player Discussion Drew O Connor

[AHLdepth]

Fits the mold of what this team wants out of its bottom 6 players to a tee. He won't put up as many points as someone like Heinen will, but the speed & tenacity on the forecheck is big to playing towards the team's identity.

Hope they're able to re-sign him, and find more guys like him in the off-season.

I know what you're saying, and know you're pretty likely right. But at the same time we traded an 18 point forward for 16 (now 17) point forward. It was the funniest thing about the trade to me, that Pit fans were saying about how he has speed, but won't be a point producing guy as we were unloading a more expensive, older, less fast version with 2 extra points.

Great speed & size, forechecks hard, like what I see.
