Trent Swick, a 6-7, 20-year-old power forward playing for the Kitchener Rangers, just signed an entry-level contract with the Vegas Golden Knights. He was a 6th-round pick, currently second in team scoring in the OHL. This raises a few interesting questions. Is this a steal for Vegas? How much of his recent success is attributable to increased ice time and opportunity with the Rangers? Can his size and scoring translate to the NHL level? With his frame, could he be a late bloomer who develops into a top-six power forward? What are your realistic expectations for Swick in the NHL? Could we see him challenging for a roster spot sooner than later? Share your thoughts and predictions.
