Too bad he wants nothing to do with NA it seems.
Kid is, no doubt, extremely talented.
Spencer Watson has 2 goals and 4 assists so far in 2 games as Kingston is up 2-0 in the series.
Mike Amadio has 2 goals and 1 assist in 2 games as North Bay is tied 1-1 in their series.
Jacob Middleton has 0 points in 2 games as Ottawa is down 2-0 in their series.
Jake Marchment has 3 assists and Erik Cernak has 2 assists as Erie is up 2-0 in their series.
Matt Mistele has 2 goals as Sarnia is down 2-0 in their series.
I think Watson, Middleton and Marchment will get contracts. What about Mistele? Kinda of a wildcard in my book. Thanks for the update.
What is the plan for Cernak next year?
Cernak should be in the AHL imo. He'll be too strong for the OHL next season, he pretty much manhandles everyone right now.
Skating and stickhandling still needs some work though.
I'd love to see a MacDermid-Cernak pairing. That would be terrifying to play against.
It is going to be an interesting D group in Ontario next year.
MacDermid
LoVerde
Lintuniemi
Ebert
Leslie
With potentially Cernak and LaDue. Gravel if the Kings plan on incubating him further (Which I find unlikely)
I wouldnt want to anchor Cernak with MacDermid. That could potentially hurt Cernaks development, imo.
Jason, do you hear anything about LaDue not signing with the Kings and going the UFA route?
Spencer Watson has 10 points in 4 playoff games. Quite a year for the kid.
He figured in 5 of their 6 goals tonight, impressive. It doesn't hurt playing with Dal Colle, but still.
So on the OHL site he's listed as 5'11". For anyone who has seen him recently, is that a bunch of crap or has he actually grown? Maybe he will go through a late growth spurt like Toffoli, who was kind of small in Juniors. Toffoli always had that physicality to his game though, not sure if Watson has that at all.
