Personal:
Plus: Great Skater... Good Strength and Size... Plays All Three Forward Positions...
Minus: Doesn't Use Size To Advantage... Limited Offense...
Organizational Comments: "Matt Hussey has good size and is a strong skater... He's gritty along the boards." -Detroit Asst. GM Jim Nill
What GRC says:A classic late bloomer, Hussey is hoping to build on a career year last season in Wilkes-Barre. He brings size, speed and versatility up front and will battle for one of the last spots in Detroit before assuming a front line role in Grand Rapids.
