2007 Born for the 2023 Draft

[OMG67]

I can say with absolute certainty that 22 players will be drafted to teams in the first round. Niagara will pick two players that will either report or not report. No one will pick the correct order. Multiple rumours will emerge about players taken in the first round committing to NCAA schools. There will be discussions about whether the OHL or NCAA is a better choice for the kids with pro’s and con’s discussed ad nauseam. Half of the teams will hav multiple posters suggesting their team picked wrong and the other half will have posters that can’t believe the player dropped to them at pick #X.

I can see the future! Leave your quarter in the jar at the door…. Gracias!

I agree Windsor 's draft board especially early rounds 2-5 very thin next 4 drafts including this one coming up,though I could see Windsor adding a 4th,or trade 2 4ths they have in the next 4 drafts for a 3rd and a 5th or 6th.
They do have 2 picks in the 6th,theirs and Flint from the Coulson Pitre trade.

I believe the 6th for Pitre became a 5th as per condition.

I hope you are right

Sounds like top 4 is pretty much locked in with only the second Niagara pick still up in the air. Interesting to see what comes out or gets communicated before the weekend.

With all this talk about top 5... what about the Hounds 25th overall pick in the 2nd. Let's be honest, the Hounds weakest area in YEARS has been goaltending. If Jack Ivankovich is around at 25th, do we take him? Does Kyle try to add another 2nd or a 3rd so they can make try it?

I think this is in the Hounds best interest in you look at our goalie situation for the future...or lack of....

I hate to burst your bubble but he will not be available at #25. Won’t get past 10-15 range at most. Maybe earlier??? But never #25.

Miller is still a really good goalie prospect. Remember he was a second round pick just last year. He's been very good for the thunderbirds this season. I wouldn't write him off just yet.

I'm not writing him off at all..im actually excited about Millers future. More thinking about what happens when Charlie goes? I think it would be a smart call still.

Yeah I figured that's why I said if he's still around, haha!!

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I think that Alexei Medvedev could be the second best goalie in this class.

Ivankovic won’t make it past Barrie in my opinion.

 

[billoink]

Heavily rumoured he will not get by the Wolves at 9th

Of course... they can waste his talent like they did UPL.

IM JK!!

i dont think its from the soo's end. martin is using his rights to be selective.

I suppose he’s leaning towards a “closer to home” team.

I guess it’s wishful thinking he falls to the Rangers.

I have a feeling he reports to SSM if he is picked at 3, but that's just gut feeling haha.

 

[HockeyPops]

I can't see SSM use 2nds in consecutive drafts on goalies.

Ya I had actually forgotten that Miller was a 2nd round pick at the time, if im being honest. Haha. I do agree.

Think Kyle adds a 3rd?

Who are the Knights targeting ?

Pretty cool our very own @GermanSpitfire is included in this.

It was an honour to be included in it.

A lot of hard work went into it from everyone involved. Hope you all enjoy. I was able to select for Sudbury and Windsor.
