Observations:

March 2013 - A dislocated knee in December sidetracked McIlraith, but otherwise he's been as advertised - huge, tough, and gritty. He's looking more and more like a future enforcer, assuming that role is still around in three years. - Dobber

April 2012 - He is a big, bruising defender and one of the most feared enforcers in the WHL. In 52 games he put up 23 points for the Moose Jaw Warriors. After being criticized for his lackluster skating and less than impressive offensive skills, he has improved a bit in both areas to become a complete defenseman.  If he can continue to grow as a player he could become a second or third pairing, shutdown guy in the NHL.

Fantasy Outlook: D

Will never put up huge numbers, but will rack up a lot of PIM.
