... draft. At 5'10", 190, he's listed as about the same says as former Rocket Kyle Cumiskey, so it's hard to resist comparing the two. For comparison's sake, Cumiskey scored 79 points in 177 games for Kelowna, a .45 PPG rate. He struggled during his first year, however, and it might be better to use his .57 PPG rate over his final two seasons. Barrie currently has 98 points in 139 games (.71 PPG).
