Organizational Comments: Red Wings Asst GM Jim Nill: |
What GRC says: Thomas excels at the physical side of the game where he is a punishing fighter and gritty grinder. He captained his junior team (playing with Wing's prospect Jurco) and was a shut down player on the penalty kill. He should replace the muscle (Greg Amadio) given up to acquire him and provide some more options on the ice at a younger age.Fall 2011: |
