Profile Contributed By: Jared Ramsden
History
2004-05: After suiting up in only a handful of games in his OHL rookie season, Snetsinger got into 54 games in year two with the Mississauga Ice Dogs, scoring eight goals and five assists in 54 games.
2005-06: Snetsinger was traded by the Ice Dogs in the summer of 2005 to the Windsor Spitfires, and it seemed to be exactly what was needed to take his game to another level. In 60 games with the Spitfires, he scored 29 goals and 15 assists, to go along with a -4 plus/minus rating. He added another five points in seven playoff games for the Spitfires.
2006-07: Though the Spitfires struggled mightily during the 2006-07 season, as evidenced by Snetsinger's sub par -31 plus/minus rating, Snetsinger was able to match his career best in goals with 29, but boosted his assist total to 33, giving him a career best 62 points.
2007-08: The New Jersey Devils signed Snetsinger to an entry level contract on December 20th, 2007.
Talent Analysis
Snetsinger appears to be a bit of a late bloomer, but he looks to have some offensive skill and the instincts of a natural goal scorer. Standing at 6'2, 187 lbs, he has decent size, but could still stand to add a few pounds of muscle to his body. He may not be the most gifted player on the ice, but he does have the two way skills to eventually develop into a decent role player at the NHL level, should he continue to develop at his current pace.
Future
On a team with not much to speak of in terms of top notch prospects in the organization, especially up front, Snetsinger could be another one of the Devils junior free agent finds, much like David Clarkson was. Snetsinger can score.
