History
2007-08: Young made huge strides in his overall game in his third full OHL season, and second with the Spitfires. Not known for his offensive prowess, he suited up in all of Windsor's 68 games, scoring two goals and adding 12 assists. His 155 PIM's ranked him 12th in the league, and his +14 rating was a huge improvement from the -13 rating he posted in 2006-07. The Devils selected the tough as nails Young in the seventh round of the NHL draft.
Talent Analysis
What you see is what you get with Young. He is steady, stay at home defenseman who is not afraid to drop the gloves and stand up for his teammates. He's not afraid to play physical, and really stood out on the Spitfires penalty-killing unit this year. While Young's puck skills leave much to be desired, that's not his game. He gives it 110% each and every game.
Future
Young will return to Windsor next season, looking to get even stronger, and continuing to improve his skating. While he's not likely to ever develop into a star at the next level, Young has the intangibles and a good enough work ethic that he could make it down the road as a depth defenseman.
