Organizational Comments:
What GRC says: 2007-08:Kinley had a very good season with Texas of the ECHL, turning in an all-star performance including a team leading 13 points 9 games in the playoffs. He got a couple of brief looks in the AHL but was not able to stick, eventually being passed over for Jason Jozsa. He continues to make slow staedy steps in his development and should garner another look at the AHL level.
2006-07: An all-star in college, Cleve is a smooth skating defenseman with soft hands. While he possesses offensive skills, he is more of a two way defenseman with a good first pass.
Role: Two Way Defenseman
Projection: AHL Defenseman
