Talent Analysis
A mixture of physical presence and scoring skill, Paradis is an attractive prospect. He possesses a hard shot and has the ability to make room for himself and his teammates on the ice. Paradis isn't a player to back down from a challenge. He may never live up to the offensive expectations of a first round pick, but projects as a solid checking player and occasional scorer at the pro level.
Future
Paradis will be a rookie pro in Rockford for the 2011-12 season.
