Joe Breschi's Thoughts About Jake Bailey:
• Jake had a great fall.
• He's got terrific range and a terrific stick, so his speed, his stick work, his footwork for a big man (6-6 tall) is tremendous.
• From our standpoint he's going to be a contributor this year, whether he starts, comes off the bench, plays man down, he's definitely going to play for us this year and I think it has to do with his agility and knowledge.
• Jake's a very smart defenseman.
