History
2006-07: In his second full season in Cranbrook, Negrin improved his offensive numbers over his rookie campaign. He scored once and added 15 assists while earning a plus-11 ranking for a Kootenay Ice team that battled the eventual WHL Champion Medicine Hat Tigers for first place in the league's Central Division. However, Negrin played in only 44 games, primarily due to a concussion suffered in a game against the Regina Pats. Upon his return, the 6'2, 195-pound native of West Vancouver was consistently ranked among the ISS's Top 30 WHL prospects.
2007-08: In Negrin’s current WHL season, he has played in 71 of the Ice’s 72 regular season games. He has a goal and 42 helpers for Kootenay. Negrin and the Ice find themselves in fifth place in the WHL’s Western Conference at the end of the regular season. Their first round playoff opponent will be the Medicine Hat Tigers, who finished the season one point ahead of Kootenay in the standings.
Talent Analysis
He has not proven to be a goal scoring threat at the WHL level, but Negrin has good size and above average skating ability. He is very good outlet passer and has been on the ice when Kootenay needed to shut down some of the WHL’s best talent.
Future
He will need to continue to get stronger and work on his offensive skills to make it to the show.
