Statistics (2010-2011): U.S. National Development Team (USHL): 17GP 7G 4A 11P
I think scouts should be talking more about Tyler Biggs. For all the talk that Brandon Saad gets in the OHL, you would think that Biggs would be ranked higher. Unlike Saad, Biggs does not play like a kitten. He uses his size well and throws his weight around. Lets get one thing straight with Biggs. This guy isn't named Biggs for a reason. Unlike his 5'8" father, Tyler Biggs is actually big. At 6'3" 208lbs, Biggs still has a lot of untapped potential. He compares himself to Ryan Getzlaf. Well, that is if Ryan Getzlaf was a right winger. He could also be compared to Calgary Flames' Jarome Iginla.
Unlike his Canadian father who played in the OHL before entering the NHL, Tyler opted to go to the USHL. But for right now, it will be interesting to see if Biggs will change his mind going forward. Already committed to Miami University, several NHL teams may want to see Biggs go the OHL/AHL route. Given that USHL forwards are hard to judge, he could be taken outside the top 10 of the draft. I mean just look at how uick Seth Ambroz had his stock draft. Having said that, he has all the tools to become a wrecking ball in the NHL and could be a steal come draft day.
P.S. It will be interesting to see if he ends up playing for team Canada or the United States in the future.
