His hockey sense is his best asset. Really smart player in all three zones. Has a really good stick in the neutral zone that forces a lot of turnovers. Has a good shot and release too. Just physically immature. Lacks those physical tools that scouts look for (skating, strength, etc). But as he matures, I would imagine that those improve too. Definitely one of my favourites among the OHL'ers trending for a mid round selection.

Beckman was a top 50 prospect for me, but I don't think I'd take Cardwell that high. Though I do need to watch him more.
Cardwell has a chance to be a top 20 scorer in the OHL next season. He has all the tools (skating, shot, hockey sense) and is a popular player with his teammates. He could easily go in the top 3 rounds of the draft.

Drafted in the second round, 33rd overall, by the Saginaw Spirit in the 2018 OHL Draft, centre Ethan Cardwell broke out this past season. His play really improved after he was traded from Saginaw to the Barrie Colts at the OHL Trade Deadline. Cardwell started the season with 12 goals and nine assists for 21 points in 37 games for Saginaw. He then put up 11 goals and 15 assists for 26 points in 26 games with Barrie.
In his rookie season, Cardwell was limited to just 15 regular-season games for Saginaw. He scored five goals. He also added one goal in five playoff games. Cardwell also spent time in the OJHL. In 27 games with the Trenton Golden Hawks, he scored five goals and 17 points. He also played 14 games for the Pickering Panthers, scoring four goals and 11 points. In 2017-18, Cardwell played two regular-season games and three playoff games with the Wellington Dukes, who won the OJHL Championship. Cardwell comes from a strong hockey family. His grandfather, Steve Cardwell, played 53 NHL games and 152 WHA games in the 1970s. His father, Justin Cardwell, played for Western Michigan in the NCAA, before bouncing around the AHL, ECHL, and IHL.

11 points in 6 games in the HockeyEttan (Swedish men league, tier below the Allsvenskan) to start off the season. Pretty impressive. For comparison's sake, Jean-Luc Foudy is another '02 birthdate who came from the OHL and he has 3 points in 10 games.
Myself and many others were quite surprised when he went undrafted last year, I don't think he'll slip through again this draft.

Really strong first career game. Made plays all over the ice, and was deployed late in the third with a lead.
Just need to shoot the puck on the 3 on 1 when they give him the opening.

I think the Sharks boards are universally really excited at this debut, agreed his only big mistake was not just putting that chance on net. Otherwise performed his role admirably on the 4th line.
