Talent Analysis
Ranked 173rd among North American skaters by Central Scouting, O�Neill could not count ISS among his fans at draft time. The scouting service wrote for Hockey�s Future in February, "A weak skater with slow feet. He has a weak, awkward stride at full speed. He lacks balance, mobility and agility. While he possesses good hands, he doesn�t have the skating ability needed to rush the puck or make offensive moves. O�Neill takes the body when he has the opportunity, but he doesn�t look to make an impact with his physical play. He has poor gap control. He needs to step up and play the man at the blue line one-on-one. He seems to be poorly coached defensively. His skating ability will hold him back at higher levels."
Future
O'Neill is headed to the University of New Hampshire in the fall of 2007.
