It’s Allan McShane’s time. Starting his fourth year in the OHL, he has to score at a pace that matches his talent. The Oshawa Generals, the organization he has been a part of for the past three seasons, will rely on him to be the engine of their offence every night; the team will only go as far their core of 19-year-old players will lead them. If he shows himself capable of rising to the next level in his offensive game, a contract with the Montreal Canadiens awaits him at the end of the season.
McShane’s five points in three pre-season games should be encouraging to his evaluators, though nothing of real value can be derived from this performance.
