Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: Led the Owen Sound Attack of the OHL with 18 goals as a defenseman in 63 games. Also contributed four points in their four playoff games before being ousted out of the playoffs. Joined on with Providence of the AHL at the conclusion of their season and enjoyed a long 16 game playoff run in the AHL, showing that he is at least ready for the AHL. Drafted by the Kings as a 20 year old in 2009.
Talent Analysis
A solid defenseman, even if he does not have the ideal size for a blueliner. A strong shot adds an offensive dimension to his game. Does not excel in any particular aspect of his game, but more of an all-around defenseman.
Future
His long playoff run in the AHL prior to even being drafted convinced the Kings that he can contribute immediately to an organization looking to increase competition in the minor league system and change the culture of the system. Even if Kolomatis is assigned to the ECHL, his presence in the minor leagues should pressure other under-achievers into producing or moving out of the way.
