| Organizational Comments: "He's unbelievable, he's just been a treat all year long. He's now showing things that I didn't think he was capable of at the start of the year - the end-to-end rushes, the moves. His speed is second to none and he's such a great kid. He's not just going to be a good player in the NHL. He's going to be a great player." Griffins Coach Mike Stothers |
What GRC says: 2007-08: The sky is the limit for the speedy forward. Helm turned it up in the second half earning his first NHL recall. After his return to the AHL he turned things up another notch displaying the confidence to make plays at speed in traffic, turning in a series of dominant performances. If he can bulk up over the summer to withstand the pounding, he could be a darkhorse to start in Detroit next season.
Fall 2007: Helm is a versatile forward who has surprised scouts by putting up great offensive numbers. An ace defensive player with blazing speed, Darren has also demonstrated the offensive skills to be a solid two-way threat. |
