| Personal: |
|---|
| Plus: Top Shelf vision and playmaking skills... Nose for the net... Pure offensive talent makes linemates better... Great hands... Shifty skater with slick moves... Quick feet - good acceleration... |
| Minus: Average skater is still improving... Needs to bulk up and get stronger... |
| Organizational Comments: "He's a point-producer, sees the ice well, moves the puck well, good around the net. He just needs to add strength and keep improving his skating." Red Wings Asst. GM Jim Nill |
What GRC says: 2007-08: Cory made some tremendous improvements in his skating since last season, and while no Helm, he didn't look out of place either. The slick playmaker could have easily had several more points if his wingers would have been able to capitalize on his setups. That being said, he still needs to work on his conditioning and strength, and will have to develop more consistency to claim a regular spot on the roster next season..
2006-07:Cory only saw action in two games, and looked to be a step slow in both his skating and his reaction time. Another year in juniors should help him develop his game for another crack at the AHL at the end of the season.
Spring 2007:Emmerton is a player that perfectly fits the Wings mold of smooth puck controlling forwards. He brings an impressive set of skills to the table and should have an immediate impact. |
