Mark McNeill – Center
DOB: 02/22/1993 Ht: 6’2 Wt: 210
Drafted: 1st round (18th overall) in 2011 – Prince Albert (WHL)
Signed entry-level deal with the Blackhawks 1/1/12
McNeill, the Hawks’ top pick in the 2011 Draft, had a strong season for Prince Albert last year. He posted 31 goals and 40 assists in 69 games, and made his AHL debut later in the spring. Because of the lockout, he’ll return to the WHL for another season.
I got a feeling he is going to be our 2nd line center next year.
it isn’t the lockout causing him to go back to the WHL, it’s his age/years played.
