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

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Really got better and better as the Hlinka Gretzky went on. One to follow as the season goes on

1G, 2A tonight. Played a ton of minutes tonight, PK and PP.

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.

1G, 1A tonight. Consistently putting up solid, not spectacular numbers. I think he'll get bumped down lists because of others rising, not necessarily Cole's play.

Do you really think so? I don't see others players rising so much, lots of them are having slow start (Ryabkin, Frondell etc.) and it's not like many players have better production. I feel like Reschny can be a riser through the year.

Yeah but the guys you mentioned aren’t going to fall that far, at least not based on this season so far. And just in the WHL you could argue a lot of guys starting even or behind Cole in the pre-season are having even better starts with a mix of projectable standout traits…Schmidt, Lakovic, Bear, Behm, Kindel.

Not saying Cole isn’t in the mix with some of those guys but the WHL alone looks really, really stacked with high production picks that will have 1st or 2nd round grades.
