History

 

2006-07: Aliu found himself on his third OHL team due to an off-season trade to the London Knights, socring 42 points in 53 games and one goal, in 21 games during the playoffs.

 

Talent Analysis

Aliu has all the characteristics of your prototypical power forward - big and puck sense.  Unfortunately, there seems to be a dark cloud hanging over the player.  Most conversations begin with the challenges he faced due to a hazing incident back in Windsor.  If the storm clouds ever disperse – and perhaps an early-round selection is just the event to do that – Aliu has all the tools to be a force in the professional ranks. He just needs to find that proverbial tool box.
