2010-11: Lane got off to a slow start - missing time due to injury and a two-game suspension - but steadily developed into the physical, two-way forward he is projected to be in his second season with the OHL's Brampton Battalion. Lane scored 17 goals with 17 assists and was a much-improved +2 plus/minus in 54 regular season games while finishing second on the Battalion with 113 PMs. Brampton reached the playoffs despite finishing under .500. In the four-game series with Niagara, Lane was -1 with 1 assist and 2 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Lane is a big-body power-forward with soft hands and untapped offensive potential. He is a very good skater for his size and has good vision with the puck. Starting to grow into his body and is becoming much more of a physical presence.
Plays with a mean streak.
Needs to become more consistent and bring a higher compete-level on a shift to shift basis.
Future
Has the potential to be a physical force on the wing as a 2nd or 3rd line NHL power-forward.
