| Organizational Comments: |
What GRC says: 2008-09: Haydar lived up to his MVP billing during the second half, posting 47 points followed by 11 more in the post season. He was clearly the team's offensive leader and displayed a knack for clutch scoring not seen here in a long time. A notable minus to the veteran winger's play was a less than stellar defensive game. This was overstated statistically due to the high number of points on the powerplay, leaving him at -14 for the half. Haydar has already indicated he is likely to move on for another shot at the NHL, but he would be welcomed back with open arms.
Summer 2008: A legitimate offensive star in the AHL, and a former league MVP, Haydar should help put more pop on the Griffins offense. Haydar is a clutch scorer, especially in the post-season, and is a huge signing for the Griffins. |
