He's currently sixth on the team in scoring (though he has missed time), but I'd say he is easily the best player on the team. He is almost singlehandedly keeping the Royals afloat amidst myriad injuries to our top forwards.

There is a reason why a 46 point WHL player got drafted in the third round. He is one hell of a player whose points do not even come close to telling the whole story.

Thanks for the post Storm. I keep up with our prospect's numbers but haven't seen him play a game. Just read that he had 2 goals tonight and also scored in the shootout.

Also, it looks like Kyle Rau won offensive player of the week (4G, 2A in 3 wins).

I'd like to see these games. Hopefully there will be streams.
