This guy is the best American in this draft. All you have to do is look at the WJCu18s to see this.

We're on the Will Smith page right?

 

[LeProspector]

We're on the Will Smith page right?

He is the highest scoring player in NTDP history. Clearly the top American.

This kid has improved lot. Top 10 pick worthy

He has played like this for at least 4 months now.

"Clearly" lol

Not the best American, Will Smith is at that point. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was selected second best. I see deficiencies in him similar to everyone who is 5-15 in this draft. I would really be surprised if he was selected outside the top 15. And he's working hard to make it to the top 10.

Have to shake my head at this. He's been doing this all year.

Pretty clearly the best line in NTDP history right?

 

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

I dunno, Hughes + Caufield +Zegras/Boldy were pretty epic as well.

 

[toddkaz]

Dude has 15 points in 4 games. Moore a top 10 pick has 6.

 

[Szechwan]

How much C has he played of late?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

How much C has he played of late?

None, he plays LW on that line.

 

[Dominance]

I don’t see how anyone can rationalize having him out of the first round.

 

[Szechwan]

None, he plays LW on that line.

This thread has him listed as C/W, was that just last year he played? Are any scouts actually projecting him as a C moving forward?

 

[LemonSauceD]

I can see Montreal taking him due to the franchophone connection.

Disagree… look at that statline, he may beat out Hughes record at this tournament. if he Does that O think he screams #1C upside

Boring opinion

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

I can see Montreal taking him due to the franchophone connection.

if hes still around with our #17 yes but no way we pick him with our 1st pick

You gotta assume those guys have formed a close bond playing on a line together for two years and now all heading to the same school. I have a hunch they may not be there long.

I'm so impressed by all 3 of the US boys. The way they are able to make plays in chaos where you think that for sure they're gonna lose the puck but nope, they just hit the puck for a perfect pass for a prime scoring opportunity to a teammate. Perreault at one point was about to lose the puck, but used his hands to keep the puck away from pokechecks, turned around, and with almost 3 guys draped on him he just threw a pass for his defenseman for a perfect scoring opportunity.

It's hard to judge how well their IQ would gel with different teammates but their awareness is just insane, and Perreault in particular makes plays out of nothing very often.
