BEST SKATER

When you combine speed, agility and strength it's hard to argue that Sean Day isn't the draft's best skater despite weighing 230 pounds when he should probably weigh at least 10 less.

"He is such a natural skater," marvelled one top scout.  "He can make an end-to-end rush without seemingly having to even try.  A powerful stride, flawless agility, he's smooth and quick... he glides.  It never seems like an effort for him."
