[Brock]

Each summer I review the progress, rank, and provide prognostication on each NHL team's OHL Prospects.

Today is Columbus.

Thanks for the input. Always nice to hear some insight no the younger players.

I appreciate it Brock. The Columbus board usually has a couple WHL watchers but no one in Ontario, so any insight is appreciated.

Realistically though...how many of these guys are NHLers?

Zero. Siebenaler may get some NHL games in a call up. But that's about the best I believe he can be.

Sherwood may one day make a 3rd line somewhere. Buy our OHL guys aren't what I'd call blue chippers haha.

Is there a why involved in any of these OHL scouting reports of yours? Just downplaying individuals based on draft order number or for being undrafted might provide some success but it doesn't help to identify those who break those chains eventually.

OHL guys aren't our strength, true. I don't see much coming from the forwards at least.

Siebenaler hasn't been doing that well either, but with the D prospects, they often don't pop until much later. It's usually the guys who start out as offensive prospects and then all of a sudden at 23 they click defensively.

I'll provide my why when you provide your sources about Puljujarvi, because I am still waiting.

My source (message history ever since 16-year-old Puljujärvi appeared in his first U-20 WJC tournament) paints a complete mosaic of Puljujärvi as a prospect. In the end everything can be found in the play.

Dreams come true. I would be bit more wary with baseless bashing the NHL hopes of those coming from junior leagues since one morning you might wake up. If I can dream.

So you have none? Got it thanks.

Anyway, to keep it on topic I have hopes for Sherwood to be something just because of the hometown thing. This year will be telling, but I don't have too high of hopes.
