#22 Andy Delmore
Pos: Defense
D.O.B.: 12/26/76
From: LaSalle, Ontario
Height: 6'1
Weight: 200
Shoots: Right
Drafted: Undrafted
Acquired: Signed by Detroit (NHL) 7/28/09
Personal:
Plus: Excellent work ethic... Hard accurate shot... Great skating and speed... Can quarterback a powerplay... Above average on ice vision... Soft hands... Will play physical...
Minus: Defensive game is weak... Inconsistent... Prone to bad decision making in his own end...
Organizational Comments: Griffins GM Bob McNamara: "He's been a great player in the American League. He can skate, and he can pass the puck. And that's kind of the model of defensemen up in Detroit, too. I would say the plan is for him to kind of anchor our defense and be available in the event of an injury up there."
What GRC says: Summer 2009: Delmore is a top flight AHL powerplay quarterback the likes of which Griffins GM Bob McNamara has coveted for years. While his defensive acumen is below par, he can move the puck, lead the rush, and has a cannon for a shot. If he makes it through waivers to GR, expect him to light it up at both ends of the ice.
Role: Offensive Defenseman
Projection: NHL Powerplay Specialist
