After thinking about it for a while, the NHL player that Reschny reminds me of is Eberle. I think they'll get drafted in similar spots, around 22ish, maybe Reschny goes a little higher. I don't think he has the skating to be a play driver, but I think he could be a great complimentary scorer. He's got the awareness, hands, and shot to play well with elite players.

This sounds about right. I wonder also if he can stick at center or if he’ll have to move off. I think he plays a likable game, but he’s 5’9/5’10 without elite traits. Don’t think he’s like a Benson or Catton talent. A tier or two down from that.

He had a great tournament and was easily Canada's best forward. Hopefully grows a little more but has a thick frame which tbh is important when players are that size vs a slim build type. Is posed for a big year with Victoria who should hopefully turn the corner and compete

If only he, Benak, Ivankovic were taller, they’d all be top-10 selections

Cole is an interesting player. I don’t feel like I’ve had enough viewings to do a full write up but I do like this player. I think he’s just been tough for me to properly rank.

In the positive, he’s a great playmaker. He’s one of the few player I’ve seen that can drive a line. He does a great job with the puck on his stick and has great vision. Some of the passes he is able to make are outstanding. His mobility is also a strong point in his game.

I definitely think his lack of strength is a concern. He is listed at 5’10” but can’t really hang along the boards. I also don’t see him as a totally competent player in the defensive zone. He’s not afraid to go to the dirty areas, but he definitely doesn’t excel in puck battles. I also think that he’s always super engaged in defensive positioning.

I love the playmaking ability but I think he needs to get stronger. He’s been a tough player to rank properly.
