Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Aubin is an ’86-born player who missed the 2004 draft cut-off by just three days. Aubin missed 20 games of the season, including the Top Prospects Game in Vancouver. He helped to elevate his status in the playoffs by putting up nine points in eight games, a first-round sweep over Cape Breton, and then being swept by Rimouski.
Talent Analysis
Aubin has the hands of a natural goal scorer. Unfortunately, he doesn't yet have the wheels to match. A late birthday, the club would like to see him work on his foot speed and overall strength - two aspects which could have been well served playing frequently as a junior overager, but he did make the jump to the pro ranks.
A player with a good frame, Aubin is isn’t nearly physical enough.
Future
The Canadiens are expecting big things from Aubin offensively in 2007-08. Last year he bounced between Hamilton and Cincinnati, never comfortably finding a home. This year, the club will be looking for him to fill some of the offensive void that may be created should the elder Kostitsyn, Chipchura, and/or Grabovski make the jump to the NHL.
The thought is a more settled environment and regular shift could help accelerate Aubin's growth and take advantage of his offensive potential.
