What GRC says: 2007-08: When Lemieux came over from Hamilton for the underachieving Engelhardt he immediately brought of a dose of what was missing in Grand Rapids - hustle and grit. The speedy little winger quickly became a fan favorite, buzzing around at top speed all night, banging bodies and going to the net. Frankie is a restricted free agent, and it remains to be seen whether Detroit will tender him a qualifying offer but his play down the stretch could warrant another look.
Winter 2007: Lemieux is a hard working, speedy little player who is all about effort. He has been able to post decent numbers in his career, when healthy, and his work ethic will be a nice addition to the room. |
