You see, Roger McQueen, a towering 6’5”, right-shot center, is pretty much the total package. In addition to being blessed with size and a Pterodactyl wing span, the 18-year-old pivot skates well for a big man, possesses silky hands and flashes elite skill. Plays with an edge, too.
Sounds vaguely reminiscent of another long, gifted, right-handed shooting center who skated for us back in the day and wore No. 66. Right down to, unfortunately, a wonky back.
Therein lies the reason the Brandon Wheat Kings’ standout might still be available when it’s the Pens’ turn to pick 11th overall.
