The Connecticut Whale make a signing for next season. Former 5th round pick Max Campbell will be in camp in September.
According to Hockey’s Future, Campbell is a playmaking center and a left-handed shot. Of him they say that he is a, “a real offensive threat on the power play.” However, they caution that he needs to improve his speed to make it at the next level.
Of Campbell they say the following:
A highly skilled player with good hockey sense and a nose for the net, Campbell has a lot of upside.
“Max seems to excel in pressure situations. He has consistently shown the ability to make the big play when the game is on the line.”– Rich Brown, NY Rangers Amateur Scout.
In danger of becoming a specialty player, to succeed at the next level, Campbell will need to better round his game.
Here’s the official release:
