On the other hand, as good as it looks, he could need another year to develop so for me I am hopeful but cautious in my excitement. I am confident , he only plays for us this year if they feel he is ready. As Renny said today, they knew Hall was ready for the NHL but still needed to wait and see. I think it will be the same way. What I am curious most about is...his face-offs. I didnt mention in the article but during the other top centerman in the jr camp he was 9 out of 12 first night and as best as i counted 7 of 10 on second night. Thats good work on face-offs, especially against Ryan Johanson and Ryan strome too.In development camp sillinger was working face-offs with him and lander. Looks like he worked on it cause in Red Deer he was slightly over 50%.revingevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928330948479195824.post-50475523376672169972011-09-09T17:08:37.765-06:002011-09-09T17:08:37.765-06:00Great article is right.
