Chris Minard
Pos: Center/Left Wing
D.O.B.: 11/18/81
From: Owen Sound, Ontario
Height: 6'1
Weight: 200
Shoots: Left
Drafted: Undrafted
Acquired: Signed by Detroit (NHL) 7/2/10
Personal:
Plus: Versatile forward can play all three forward positions... Consistent Hard worker... Soft hands... Nose for the net...
Minus: Skating, while much improved, could still use some work... Strength and conditioning questionable... Concussion problems...
Organizational Comments: Wings GM Ken Holland:
What GRC says: Fall 2010: A hard working forward with a nose for the net, Minard should bring some consistent offense to the Griffins lineup. To do that he has to prove that he has overcome injury problems that cost him half of last season.
Role: Goal Scoring Winger
Projection: NHL 4th liner
