#7 Jordan Owens
Pos: Left Wing
D.O.B.: 5/1/86
From: Toronto, Ontario
Height: 6'
Weight: 180
Shoots: Left
Drafted: Undrafted
Acquired: Trade with New York Rangers 3/3/10
Personal:
Plus: One of the fastest skaters in the league... Great work ethic... defensively responsible... A relentless forechecker... Plays a punishing hitting game with a lot of energy... Excellent penalty killer... Good shot selection... Above average passer... Good offensive skills...
Minus: Has not been able to consistently provide the offense he seems capable of... Has had some trouble with injuries...
Organizational Comments: Rangers Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark: "He is one of the best two-way players in Hartford, and despite having some injuries this season, which has kept his production down, with Owens' hard work, he looks to have a real chance to make the Rangers next season."
What GRC says: 2009-10: Jordan was brought in to provide some energy and grit to the Griffins lineup, and didn't do that on a consistent basis. When he was on his game, he showcased his rink wide speed and hitting game, but he was invisible too much of the time to be a real factor. He didn't look like he ever really got comfortable with the team. Spring 2010: A highly regarded prospect of the New York Rangers, Jordan will bring a good work ethic, some energy, and some some new life to a team that has grown stale. He is a dependable, two way forward with great speed, and should fit in on the 4th line.
Role: Two-way Forward
Projection: Energy forward
