Career
He was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the 4th round (113th overall) of the 2000 National Hockey League Entry Draft. Early on in his junior career, he was labeled as a potential first round draft pick for the 2000 Draft, due to his combination of speed, size and skill. Unfortunately, being on dismal Mississauga IceDogs teams hindered his development, and he fell to the 4th round, drafted by the Edmonton Oilers.
