History
2005-06: Postma had a good rookie season , one of only 16-year-old players to make the squad. In 58 games he had 11 points, playing in all situations.
2006-07: 24 points in 70 games. He was -19 on the year, but most of the team was minus as well.
2007-08: Traded to the Calgary Hitmen two games into the season.
Talent Analysis
"Big guy, can skate, his upside is unknown at this time, but he has good hockey sense," Thrashers GM Don Waddell said on draft day. "Good kid, [our scouts] interviewed him [at the NHL Combine] and we're real comfortable with the character of the player."
Postma has very good acceleration, is not physically dominant, but with his speed he doesn't always have to play 'the heavy.' Postma is just a solid all-round, hard-working defenseman.
Future
Postma will remain with the Hitmen in 2008-09.
