| Personal: |

| Plus: Great work ethic... Fearless player... Effective fighter... Excellent penalty killer... Good skater with decent acceleration... Good skill set for such a physical player... Strong forechecker... Likes to crash and bang... | | Minus: Frame not ideally suited for rugged play... |
| Organizational Comments: Red Wings Asst GM Jim Nill: "He’s got good enough skill that he can play anywhere, But if something happens, you know they’re there to back you up and they’re going to be in the other team’s face all the time."" |
| What GRC says: Fall 2011: A rugged, physical winger with offensive upside, Callahan can also drop the gloves with the best of them. He is an aggressive forechecker in the mold of Dallas Drake, but his other gifts put him in line with a Darren McCarty type of player. In any case his first year in pro hockey should be an exciting one to watch. |
