#22 Landon Ferraro
Pos: Center
D.O.B.: 8/8/91
From: Vancouver, B.C.
Height: 6'
Weight: 171
Shoots: Right
Drafted: 2009 draft 2nd rnd 32nd overall by Detroit (NHL)
Acquired: Signed to ATO By Grand Rapids (AHL) 3/30/10
Personal:
Plus: Extremely fast skater... Excellent defensive skills and positioning... Natural goal scorer... Very good on ice vision and instincts... Competitive player... Plays aphysical, gritty game...
Minus: Knee injury has proved troublesome all season... Needs to add size and strength...
Organizational Comments: Red Wings Asst GM Jim Nill: "He's got hockey in his blood. He's got good hockey sense, good puck skills. He'll be a better skater once he gets bigger."
What GRC says: Spring 2010: The son of 400 goal scorer Ray Ferraro, Landon has the same knack for scoring goals, but he also is bigger, faster and more physical than his father. A defensively responsible sniper with blazing speed, Ferraro could see a few games in the AHL to spur his development for next season. A wonky knee that affected him most of the year may keep him a practice only player this spring.
Role: Scoring Forward
Projection: NHL 2nd liner
