The US National Development Program describes Kolomatis as “Smooth skater, very light on his feet with excellent edging. Will jump into the play smartly when presented with the opportunity. Pretty good in his own end. Strong on his stick and uses leverage very well. Showed some slick moves scoring on penalty shot”.
This guy and Trevor Lewis were signed in 2006 by Owen Sound when Futa was there. I think it is no coincidence we draft him now.
I was wondering if he may have been a re-entry into the draft. I didn't see him listed anywhere.
Wow, this pick makes so much sense now lolol.. Hey check this out, we have can make a full line with our new 6 draftees..

Hearing rumors that Brian Boyle is close to being dealt to New York. Will let you know. TL
We better not trade him for picks, re Brian Broyle..
Boyle & 2010 2nd for Zherdev
It'd be nice if these d-men were a tad bigger.
