"Cameron is definitely a physical presence, you sure notice him whenever he’s on the ice." described Bob Green. "We want to be a tougher team to play against and Abney brings that element of the game to the table. It’s a good opportunity for him to develop into an Edmonton Oiler a little closer to the team that drafted him."
