He's supposed to be good. We'll see how good in the upcoming years. Comparing his numbers to Fleming at the same age on Shattucks U18 this year might give us some idea.

I haven’t watch the prep team this year, but from talking to people around the team it sounds like he hasn’t shown the ability to takeover a game that Maddox showed last year at the same level. Still early, though. Flemming has really impressed me lately. I think he’s gaining ground on Lambert. Would be a 1OA type in a less top heavy draft such as 2021.

Read that as “Whiteclaw” at first

Thanks Buch, much appreciated.

What an odd comment about a 16 year old.

What an odd comment about a 16 year old.

how is it an odd comment if I may ask ever so kindly ? I have been scouting talent from bantams to juniors and I don't see him being strong enough to be successful

It's odd because humans don't stop physically maturing right after they turn 16.

Essentially means he was cut from the ntdp u17s

He was. The team has already been named:

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Reminds me a little of Cole Caufield in how he plays. One of the best players you'll see at receiving passes. He's able to control passes anywhere within his vicinity, while moving, behind him, in front of him, and not lose his body control, and momentum of what his next movement is. Plays with a shooters mentality. Very quick and deceptive release. He's a slightly above-average skater for his size. He's a capable passer, but he's a goal-scorer. He's not the type of player that looks to take over a game with puck-handling. He's more of a complimentary scorer. I don't see him playing center in pro hockey due to his size, unless he grows. He's listed at 5'8, and that looked accurate. I think he will probably be an early round pick next season.

A bump

Been the best player on the ice so far but Musty had picked it up a bit near the end.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I definitely think he was the best player for USA today.

 

[William H Bonney]

He's not big but he doesn't shy away from the high traffic areas at all, which is great for his prospects as he moves up the ranks.

 

[Chainshot]

Well-deserved recognition as player of the game for Team USA in the Hlinka opener.

Hockey could use more Williams: my Da's name.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

First time seeing him in the FIN-USA game that is ongoing and he definitely gives me a Caufield vibe.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

First time seeing him in the FIN-USA game that is ongoing and he definitely gives me a Caufield vibe.

He doesn't have the same puck skills as Caufield but he definitely attacks the play with a lot more power / aggression.

I see a bit of a Parise / Palmieri hybrid.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Not quite as good today but he was shooting from everywhere and Vinni was great, really fought off some tough looks.

Palmieri is a really good comparison.

He wasn't very good today but all the penalties really took the top forwards out of the game.
