History

2006-07: Although his offensive numbers weren’t overwhelming with only 20 points and five goals in 65 games during his rookie season, Tangradi’s improved performance in the playoffs may have raised his profile in some eyes.  In 15 playoff games, Tangradi performed at better than a point-per-game clip, scoring eight goals and adding nine assists. He also added a bit of grit to his game, racking up 14 penalty minutes after only spending 32 minutes in the box all season long.

Talent Analysis

You can’t teach size and teams looking for depth up the middle may place a larger value on Tangradi’s potential.

Future

A power forward formerly limited to a checking line role, Tangradi served notice that he could bring much more to the table when given the chance. He'll be counted on to prove that his playoff success wasn't an aberration and should find a regular spot in Belleville's top six. Tangradi's skating needs work, although history has shown that isn't a cause for concern in the Ducks organization.
