Well what your'e saying just isn't true so I am going to have to correct you if you keep saying things I didn't. I said Mbuyi isnt physical he does not lay body anywhere near consistently and he also completely proves my point of drafting a small kid with skill and compete over a larger body who doesn't have the brain but get's drafted in the top 10 anyways- examples I have pointed out over the years.

The conversation has gone awry because the simple point I have made is:

Small kid + skill + compete > big kid + skill + No IQ. Yet as I provided teams continue to take those kids in the first round anyways.


I'm just merely saying that if that indeed is their draft strategy their best and most impactful players a couple years down the road were still not overly big guys.

An OHL team with 8+ of the top 12 players at ~6’1” + and 190 lbs + is a bigger team. During the competitive cycle of NB, they had Coe, Jackson, Petrov, MacDonald, Russell, Ertel, Bloom, Mathurin, Lukin, Wakely, Cooke, Vilmanis, Kennedy, Ride, McDowell, Turley, Procyszyn, …even Romani grew to 6’1” 190 lbs, Nelson was >200 lbs. And Arnsby, Christopolous, Zito, Hislop, VanSteensel, Amidovski all played a heavy game.

And the greater point is you think the kid off YSE plays like Mbuyi, I don’t know many that think he is, I know teams question that aspect of his. We will see who Is right in 5 years

Again never said he played like him. They don't even play the same position. One is an up and down winger who gets after pucks and is a shooter. Edgar is a cerebral C with playmaking ability and loves challenging D man 1v1. He doesn't have to play like him to be successful. Just 2 kids of smaller stature that I think will be great picks.
 
so , since we obviously have to keep it on topic, here's some names that should be top 10-15 picks

top 3 i think are pretty locked in, just all in different places, some have one guy 1, others have other guys at one. the following are in no order.

top 3
deslile
warren
murata

top 10-15
laus
edwards
mcgregor
wycisk
barch
chitaroni
kunopaski
ardagh
raynor
lemmers
edgar

there are at least 3 americans i can think of coming to the ohl at 16 if they get picked by the right teams. 2 i think are locks to come.

Are there any players that seem to be in the London Knight mold? Anyone that could fall a bit or is it too early to say?

Johnny McLaughlin - Lambton Jr. Sting. Played up with U16 last season with the Sting and was one of the league scoring leaders...injured this year early on and missed the rest of the season. Could drop a bit but seems like the type of player the Knights would chase after.
