Edmonton Oilers head scout Stu MacGregor on Rockets forward Shane McColgan:
"Shane has done well. Maybe people's expectations were higher than they should have been. He is a very competitive player. He has good hockey sense and every shift he shows you something and he has a bit of a meanness to him to which I think is good. He obviously has to have that element at his size."
Why has McColgan slipped in the NHL Central Scouting rankings?
"He's 5 foot 8 and a quarter which might put him back a bit. He had a little bit of a lull there probably through November and through Christmas and he's worked through that. I think he's bought into the team here and what they want to do as a group."
How about Zach Franko?
"I think Franko's a skilled guy. He will probably get drafted at some point in the draft. He has good hockey sense. I don't think you have to worry about him....he'll be picked."
Anyone else?
"Jessey Astles is a player who has a lot of competitive nature. A player that probably has a good opportunity to be drafted just because the way he plays every shift."
