Almost matched his season totals in the WHL playoffs, due to the fact he was buried on the Championship Oil Kings veteran roster until injuries hit and he got to get more than fourth line duty. Showed he could play well in the battle zones with good skills and abilities. As import players usually take a bit to get strong and adjust, he may be a player who gets selected as a longer term prospect, Based on his play down the stretch, and his being named the MVP at the Memorila Cup, he has raised his status to a early round pick.
