In all likelihood the two Americans teams at the OHL Cup will be Detroit Little Caesars (been listed on the OHL Cup rankings nearly every week) and TPH Hockey (has been at every OHL Cup since 2007).

Has anyone gotten any looks at Adam Pszeniczny (Soo)? I think he lead the NOHL U15 last year for goals, and is the top 2009 scorer this year in the GNML. It can be hard to compare apples-to-apples as they play in a U18 league though.
hes rated a mid round pick by our central scouting which i think is fair. hes played in alliance showcase which i was in person to see, he works hard but isn't nearly as productive against even average alliance teams.
Keep in mind the showcases had 2 watered down unpracticed NOHA teams, the final NOHA team is much stronger and will get coaching and practice prior, therefore will undoubtedly be a better showing by the group and many individuals at OHL Cup.
we don’t watch teams we watch individuals. central scouting watched all year.
I’ve been doing it for 30 years, Id say he’s a mid round d pick. Central scouting seems to agree.
If you don’t, then cool that’s why we all have e opinions
Not sure who William Ryan is and I wouldn't consider Del Priore a natural goal scorer, he can score goals but it won't come easy for him at the next level. He's has 0 goals in his last 5 games at U16 AAA. He's a good player and has natural skill but he's more of a skilled play maker in my eyes.
I'd agree, he's got size, decent skater and decent skill, I think he's got potential but right now, he's a project player. I could see him going in the 80-160 range.
Sure, I didn't say you were right or wrong, and in fact it is likely that is where he will go based on where he has played and situations seen etc. At least he is on the radar. My following comments are towards others less on the radar. Towards watching individuals only entirely, can only be done to some degree, as it is a team game and it does matter who a player (especially a collaborative player versus a solo artist) plays with and in what situations, leagues and what resources and priorities of a team are. As well, there have become a increasing & prevalent level of OHL "busts" that turn out to be wasted low to mid level picks based on they played their U16 points on loaded / $ backed teams whether it be from Ontario, Michigan, or Shattuck, many of these kids get to these good / stacked teams because were good young, or ok with $/connections, but now plateauing or declining. It definitely is more difficult to look outside the high points & top teams, find players not near their ceiling, maybe didn't play top tier all the way with ex player dads coaching putting in premium situations, lines, PP, the whole way, learned the game themselves, built their work ethic without military style forced direction into hockey life, they earned their way to where they are entirely, true students of the game. Though these are harder to learn about and getting a real understanding of their potential as they are not as much on the radar and don't get the eyes on them that they should, yet truly have more potential than many that are. No easy feat for a scout, but worth looking a little deeper for some real gems.
