Anyone know what type of player we're getting here? According to Elite Prospects - "Smallish"! (but gritty)

Just read about him on elite prospects, doesn't give a lot away. Average stats, a few awards mostly between 04 & 09. Signed a entry contract with Calgary flames but never played for them. Spent quite a bit of time in AHL and OHL. Could be a great signing but will just have to see

Whilst he's not the (size of) player most on here think the team needs I think if we'd have signed this guy in the summer we'd have been pleased and optimistic given his previous scoring so a positive move but hopefully not the only change in the offing.

Elite Prospects comment on him is this
Sounds pretty good when you see he has put up good points totals in the OHL. Pro wise not so much. What does concern me is that he hasn't played much during this or last season. Also for someone who is described as a tough cookie with agitating qualities I find it a bit strange he doesn't appear to have a single fight in his career. I know that some will roll their eyes at me for saying that but the description suggests a player who would be involved in that side of the game at least a couple of times. Hopefully he turns out to be very good but I cant help but feel he might not be what we really needed. That said he is another body in the line up.
Edit: His ECHL numbers are better than I first thought which is usually a pretty good indicator for the EIHL.

The new FULTON I hope, that type of player energizes the whole team especially if the next guy that comes in ( if Todd isn't blethering) is a winger like Rosehill.

Would have been pretty excited about this if it had happened a month ago.

Agree he's probably not fulfilled what was expected of him but even his recent numbers suggest he could have helped the Flyers immensely during this crucial period where we've continued with what we have. I'd say in some games-Monday being a good example, we've run out a variety of lines that just won't score barring a miracle. We even managed to nullify our own 2 best players in Dingle and Fox at times. Even one extra body who can score would have helped.
