2009 Born for the 2025 OHL Draft

[Hkydad99]

Some stats from the Titans Early Bird seem incredibly inflated during RR.

Always taken with a massive grain of salt, I suppose.

Week schedules, bottom teams.

Well, looks like I’m going to be frequenting this thread a lot this season being a Petes fan….

Charlie Murata most people’s #1 at this time or who’s in the top 3? Obviously will change as season goes on but I keep hearing a lot of him

Warren from JRC is up there too. But it's extremely early in the season

Size will be a factor there, as we’ve seen most OHL teams are looking for guys like belchez if they can get it and not smaller skill.

U are wrong, Windsor would have taken Adam Valentini if he would have reported. Its best player available, not size over skill.

Santa Maria! Sounds cool

 

[BigDevs93]

Fun read, I wonder when they release their first rankings, anyone know?

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Why isn't Arnone eligible for the OHL draft? I know he's from Vegas and being an 09 he wasn't selected in WHL draft. Is he eventually going to be eligible for the OHL draft?

He would only be eligible for WHL due to being from Vegas. That is WHL boundary.

Wouldn't he already been drafted then since he's an 09?

I think living in Det 2 years makes him OHL property now that i think of it! forgot about the loop hole. -It gives him the option on what league to declare for similiar to JC Lemieux on Windsor declaring for the O instead of the Q when he lived in Quebec his whole life minus last couple years of AAA.
It's kind of funny every page on the kid has a different birthplace but he was born in Gatineau.

 

[ScoutLife4]

Just to elaborate kids can move into ontario or anywhere in the OHL draft jurisdiction for 2 years and become OHL eligible but they can only declare for 1 of the drafts. -He can pick WHL or OHL but not both.

Just like Canadian Kids have eligibility for the USHL draft as well.

Wouldn't he already been drafted then since he's an 09?

There is a kid in GTHL who was drafted by the Calgary Hitmen this past WHL draft, is he eligible for the OHL draft as well? I am under the impression he can if he didn't sign anything.

I heard after Silver Stick...

Warren, Chitaroni, and Lee are all undersized forwards with good skill.

If a kids dad played in a certain league then the kid can be eligible for that league regardless of where he was born/lives.

An example are the Sim brothers. They were born and raised in NS but because their dad played for Sarnia, they chose to be eligible in the O draft.

To be fair I don’t disagree with any of the names he mentioned it’s just evident he doesn’t follow draft classes until September of the U16 season. He doesn’t know who anyone is that didn’t play, or didn’t play well in the Titans tournament and that leads to him missing top end kids like McGregor.

Its fascinating to me that he didn’t mention a kid like Freeman as a big point getters at tournaments have been overvalued dramatically in his previous rankings.
