Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2006-07: Had 57 points in 68 games last year, and will need to learn a lot about playing solid defense to become an everyday player in the NHL.
2007-08: Finished eighth among defensemen in the OHL in scoring with 51 points in 60 games. Most impressively, he improved his plus/minus to +31, compared to -2 last year. Godfrey earned a single playoff game call-up to the AHL at the conclusion of the season.
Talent Analysis
Godfrey is an offensive defenseman. Measured at 99.7 mph, Godfrey’s slap shot from the point is his best asset. He is not very sound in his own zone, however, and needs to improve his work ethic. He has decent size, but doesn't use it as much as he could.
Future
Godfrey will need significant time in the minors.
