'You can see he's strong protecting the puck, and he can shoot it very well,' Cleary said. 'Like every young kid, we look at their testing, and they have to get stronger, which they will as they get older and more mature. His skating, he knows he's got to work on, and he's driven to work on.'»

The kid, 21 at the time, passed the test. 'He's an unbelievable player,' says Shanahan. 'I remember Mac saying, «Not only is this kid tough, he's pretty solid.» I think he knocked the wind out of Mac.'»
