FWIW, Behrens, Samoskevich, Pastujov and Morrow all ranked in first round by THN Draft Preview.

I have them all in bubble, meaning they could go 20, could go 50. I think Morrow may be getting a little overranked though...seems like 2nd rounder to me. Not sure how or where he could have separated himself from others in that range with only handful of games.

Great looking player. Great hands, great speed, nice size, wicked shot. Raine Hernandez wrote a good profile about him for his OHL draft preview. Available at this link.

Thank you Elon!
The homer in me has all 3 Samoskevich, Pastujov and Morrow as first rounders. Pastujov has been criminally underrated by some. I think folks are down on him more so because both his brothers busted than anything he himself has done.
He has been near dominating past 2 seasons..not sure why he isn't a lock for top 31 honestly..

After the season Robertson had, it should help Pastujov’s draft stock. They are similar players. It doesn’t mean that Pastujov will have the same success, but guys whose skating is a little weaker can still be impact players.

Anyone have a beat on the 2022 draft eligible players? This site has 14 Americans taken in the first round:

14 sounds like a lot, but it's definitely a very good draft for the Americans.
From that first round, Devine and Lucius are not close to first rounders, in my opinion. I've seen some people who like Lucius game more than I do, so I could be off on that one. I think the Devine hype is still because he was very hyped at an early age, and it's taking longer for 2022 rankings to catch up due to COVID. I don't suspect he'll be a first rounder on any lists come the 2022 draft. All those others listed in that first round will likely either be first or second rounders. I think a few players not listed there who I think are potential first rounders include Maddox Fleming, Tyler Duke, Tyler Dunbar, Quinn Finley, and Jake Livinavage.

Do we think Spencer Sova is going to play for USA or Canada? He'd be another player to mention.
I don't understand the fact that USA Hockey let him go. Assuming it wasn't his own decision.

Not a prospect but he's had a huge hand in so many top prospects lately since he first joined the NTDP. Other than the huge pay bump, I have to imagine he got some type of handshake agreement this role is just a stepping stone into an NHL AGM or GM role with Toronto if he performs.

40 players from the Select 17 Player Development Camp left for Hlinka consideration. They form two teams who'll play each other 3 times before Hlinka roster is named.
"Names" not in consideration anymore:
"Names" not in consideration anymore:
- Forwards: Gavin Brindley, Max Namestnikov, Zach Filak
- Defense: Spencer Sova (didn't attend camp so probably going with Team Canada after not making the NTDP)

Brzustewicz is on the roster. Did he leave the NTDP or was he included to get him an extra tournament due to missing most of last season?

Nick Pierre is the "name" not there beyond the names that were already cut before the 3 Hlinka camp games.

Quentin Musty? Will Smith? They just finished their 15yo seasons, so there's still some time to develop, but those are the top two names at the moment. D-man Aram Minnetian is also pretty darn good.
Right now my vote is for Aram Minnetian. Great anticipation at both forward and defence positions. He seems to have a pretty good understanding of the game. It’s very early though.
Does anyone have any reviews about Cole Eiserman and Macklin Celebrini? They obliterated the U14 league! Comparable? Potential?
Ryan Van Horne

Both are excellent prospects for their age and definitely two you should track. Celebrini is a Canadian, BTW. Eiserman is a big winger with speed who can score in a multitude of ways. He has drive, great anticipation and good hockey sense. Celebrini is a cerebral two-way centre with good offensive upside because he has excellent hockey sense. He's only 14 -- so take this with a grain of salt -- but I got some Toews vibes from him. There was a little write up about him in the 2021 THN Draft Preview, too, as one to watch for 2024.

USAH's site lists Quentin Musty as a camp attendee but apparently he didn't attend to instead prepare for the OHL season.
