Also like Cole Emerton and Michael D'Alessio of Vaughan kings

If Xu drops out the top 10, he mostly likely is going ncaa

 

[LondonKnights]

I think if Xu drops out of the top 10, he is def ncaa then.

 

[frontsfan67]

Is there body contact in those Combine games?

I’m not sure. I don’t know too much about the prospects that’s why I ask a billion questions haha. I would have to assume they would treat it like a training camp.

 

[OnlyUpFromHere49]

Everyone is going to be thinking Xu is NCAA on Friday then cause he will not be a T10 pick, maybe a 1st round pick if a team is desperate enough to a D-man.

 

[HockeyPops]

There very well may be no D men taken top 10.

 

[LeProspector]

Don’t understand that statement “if he isn’t a top-10 pick he’s going NCAA”. Talk about an ego if true.

 

[LondonKnights]

I meant if he's not taken in the first round, teams probably know of him not going to ohl beforehand, therefore not drafting him

 

[spitsfan28]

Where does everyone feel Cole Emerton would get picked? watched a couple of games and he seems like a smooth skater who isn't afraid to get physical, is 20-25 a reasonable guess?

 

[Teflon]

Forwards seem to be coveted this year im not completely sure why. I believe this draft is pretty deep at center and D men are always a position of need so im a bit perplexed.
Is the forward group just that much better? Bowler might get hung if he ignores the D position again this year in Windsor!!

 

[OMG67]

Like to see Xu drop to windsors 2nd pick!

The more I think about it, the more I see him going to Kingston at #8…. It really depends on whether Kingston is picking to move him at the deadline or picking to keep the player for four years. If they are picking and have no intention of moving the player at the deadline, the D-Man is what that franchise needs most to build around.

 

[Sam14]

Any thought or interest in a hfboards OHL mock draft?

Any fan base member can make a selection for their specific team based on player preference and/or need.

Windsor you’d be on the clock.

 

[HockeyPops]

Interesting idea. Can i suggest a dedicated thread for this?

 

[OHL4Life]

he’s rated 15-25, early second isn’t insulting to the kid

 

[bobber]

I think if Xu drops out of the top 10, he is def ncaa then.

Doubt it. I think Xu knows where he has been ranked. Can't force teams to take a player not ranked in the top ten by making threats to not commit. Let's see what happens in the draft before making assumptions.

 

[BigDevs93]

I meant if he's not taken in the first round, teams probably know of him not going to ohl beforehand, therefore not drafting him

Wrong wrong wrong

Like OHL4life said above, Xu is a 15-30 in my opinion

I think if Xu drops out of the top 10, he is def ncaa then.

Wrong again

Ambrosio, Greer, Blaseg, Barton, Emerton, Gowan, Frossard, Roy, Gaitens, Babin, Bilecki probably in that tier afterwards. Some of them pretty close to that group above

 

[flamebird]

#92 Brandon should go higher than Hage #9 for the 3rd highest vaughn forward player drafted. A sleeper on Vaughn is #25 Chavez.

Not a #71 Ben Bowen fan? I think he's better than both. Injuries did rob him of games this season. But in saying that, he still projects to be a better junior player than both

Windsor picks at 22 and 24. Assuming they take a D at 22 which strong C is likely to be still available at 24?

Ryder Cali/Tyler Challenger would fit that description at #24

 

[Sam14]

Add Jude Bray Toronto Marlies and Blake Barnes Lambton Jr Sting also

I think that's a pretty good idea! and i agree with a new '2024 OHL Mock Draft' Thread

You responded to yourself?

Brand new account made a few days ago talking about one specific player like an insider.... The armchair HF community finds this a little weird...

 

[hockeyguy77]

I thought I might as well give it a go. More of a ranking, ranther than a mock draft.

- And yes, I quite like Colin Fitz game.
