Talent Analysis
Spurgeon is a player who plays with a lot of heart and determination which is what attracted the attention of GM Kevin Lowe. A gritty forward, despite his size, Spurgeon is a gutsy, balls to the wall type of player who gets things done through effort often times more so than talent.
Future
Spurgeon was reassigned to Stockton of the ECHL after Oiler camp and is poised to play a large part of the team even as a pro rookie.
