Darren Helm
Prospect Grade: 6.0 B (About Prospect Grades)
History
Checking forward Darren Helm had a successful campaign in Medicine Hat in 2004-05 and played in every game. Helm recorded 24 points and then added eight more points in the Tigers' 13 playoff appearances. The Manitoba-born Helm often matched up against the top two lines of the opposition but his +6 rating suggests that he won more of those battles than he lost. Although average in height, Helm will have to add muscle and strength to compete at a higher level. Under Head Coach Willie Desjardins, it can be expected that Helm will also improve his skating.

Talent Analysis
Helm is a hard worker with some skill, but is undersized. Good skater, with good hands, but not an exceptional shot.

Projects for an NHL job as a third or fourth line checker.
