He really likes McGinn and Suellentrop too. Both are in his top 10.

EDIT: He also compared Akeson to a Claude Giroux/Clarke MacArthur hybrid which is the most accurate description of his potential NHL-type I've ever heard. Granted it's a little lofty. Take that Giroux/MacArthur hybrid and bring his offense down a couple dozen points, and it's perfect.
yea lol, sorry to disappoint...

Anything Bill writes is pure gold at this point.

I think he's right on with Akeson. We underrated the **** out of him (b/c we are jaded to overagers)

Akeson reminds me of briere (personality wise):
he needs to feel like he is "part of it" on his line. If he is, he will explode with points...if not, he wont give 100%

i really hope he gets it together and has a good camp though, heres to hoping we see him in O&B in the next 2 years!
