Dal Colle looked good in the Prospects Game, not great though. The kid has got a sick shot, lightning fast release. There wasn't much the goalie can do on his goal, I think he went top shelf from what I remember. His skating wasn't bad, but it could use some improvment. I noticed that everything he does is high effort, looked a bit frenetic to me. He needs to fill out and when he does, he could be the best player from this class.
Of all the players at the top, I think Dal Colle may be the best fit for us. He plays a similar puck possession style to JT and has high end offensive instincts and ability. Whether he stays at center or wing, I think he could be an excellent LW for Johnny and KO.
Thanks for the insight PW ! I really want Ekblad, Reinhart or Bennett (in that order), but I have a feeling we will be drafting #4 or #5 (we are currently #4). The Islanders are not tanking, they are playing some decent hockey since the Olympic break, the kids are playing hard, AND showing their talent (Lee, Strome, De haan etc). I think we wind up with Dal Colle, Draisatl or Ehlers. All very talented forwards in their own right.
