Does not meet WP:NHOCKEY. He has been drafted to the NHL but only in the second round. If he plays in the NHL then he should be included, but until then this is a case of WP:NotJustYet. Tchaliburton (talk) 04:03, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep – Nomination fails WP:BEFORE. While this high second round draft pick falls just short of the criteria of NHOCKEY, the subject does however pass WP:GNG as evidenced by the many independent and reliable sources within the article, and the many more reliable sources which can be easily found on-line.

 * Delete. Fails NHOCKEY, sources given as evidence are trivial, local, blogs. Does not meet GNG at this point. Resolute 16:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per Resolute, the sources are trivial and local and worst of all blogs. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NHOCKEY. -DJSasso (talk) 12:30, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete I have no problem with local sources. But, I don't see substantial coverage from multiple reliable sources, local or not.  Also, when adding sources, please, please, put proper citations in place, so we can easily see the names of the sources at a glance.  Using the cite would be a good means.  Far from helping an article, links to a bunch of unreliable sources hurt the article, because any good sources could get lost in the mix.  As one example, an article written by the team he plays for is not independent, and does not convey notability.  Instead of inserting everything you find in a Google search, adding just a few solid sources would be more productive.  --Rob (talk) 06:39, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG.  Can be re-created if/when if subject ever does.  Patken4 (talk) 00:15, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
