Prospect Info: [2024 - 102nd] Owen Protz (LD) - Brantford Bulldogs (OHL)

Owen Protz year offensively is rather....dissapointing. Early but strange decision to go with him while Kevin He was available. A LD with rather a low ceiling...wonder what they saw....

Having seen a few Brantford games this year, I'd actually say he's been having a very good D+1 season all told, he's probably the second best dman on the team by a decent margin. He'll never be much of a point producer, but he's on target to beat his total from last year by 10 points, so there's some mild progression on that front. It's really not his game though, I wouldn't put much stock into that, he's very much a defense first type.

Depends on his usage too. If no pp time, can't be surprised

I'm not sure why you find it disappointing. Protz wasn't really drafted for his offensive abilities. He was drafted because he's a big body who plays a hard nosed brand of hockey.

Think Arber Xhekaj in the sense that Arber wasn't an offensive defenseman, either. But he's big, plays mean, and has a presence. They probably saw something similar in Protz and instead of finding an undrafted like Arber and try convincing him to choose you, they selected one.
