Tyler does have an upside to his game, and that is his offensive skills. In talking with the Hurricane Brass at one time during the AB Cup, they do seem to like him, but figure he might be a later round pick. As for the States they do have their eye on a couple of players. Nothing wrong with taking someone from the States. Emerson Etem certainly was a find for the Tigers. Besides, I would rather take an American (that has been scouted), in the draft that can play the North American game, speak English, rather than a Euro who at best is a hope and prayer pick and costs the club money. Kootenay and Tri-Cities have both gone the non-Euro route and they are very successful.

Chow for now!
