Late birthday, 5'10" F who played mostly in 16U this season, but finished the regular season with Youngstown in the USHL and had 11 points in 12 games. No points in 5 playoff games so far. Committed to Harvard for the 2026-27 season.

Thought he already had a thread. I think @Hockeyville USA might've made it. Can't seem to find it.

I don't think he's that good. Small, floaty scorer. Not a dynamic puck game. He will probably score a lot in junior though for a number of years, and possibly at higher levels too. Wouldn't be expecting any type of high pick at this point, but there's a lot of time until the 2026 draft, so you never know.

NGL, there's a bunch of prospects I could have sworn I had seen threads for, but I can't find them when I search for them. If mods can find the thread, feel free to merge/delete. Mostly it was a small handful of USHL games that made him interesting to me, so next season will be a big one to see if he can consistently produce in the USHL.

39 GP, 28 PTS so far in his 17 year old season, fairly solid for Youngstown. Interested to see if he still ends up at Harvard in a few years.

Has been one of the top 2007 forwards for a long time . He doesn’t do anything great but his hockey IQ is off the charts . He should made the NTDP based on his talent and productivity .

He’s a smallish floaty winger without standout skating or puck skills. Cant pick all these guys. Maybe should’ve make the Hlinka team, but I think there are at least five forwards not picked for the NTDP that should be picked ahead of him (Simpson, Kevan, Moe, Lansing, Wyttenbach).

My review of what I've watched from him this season. Has 16+17=33 points in 51 games.

I was not a big fan of him last year, but watching him this season I kind of see his value. He’s a tough player to like because he’s not that big or that fast and he’s not a guy with particularly flashy puck skills. He’s a winger-only. But he scores goals. And he does so without a huge shot, even if his shot is decent. He finds good areas of the ice and is able to score around the net for not the biggest player. He has good hockey sense and hands, even if he’s not more than an okay puck handler and passer. Maybe at best you get Matt Coronato, if he really pops off next season. I don’t think so, but I would say he’s probably a round two guy for next year. Hard to see him being much later than round three because his scoring is legit and he has a chance to be a good pro with second line/middle 6 scoring upside.

Like I’ve said he seems to produce every where he goes without high end defined skill( skating ect ) that everybody loves but he has sneaky high end hockey IQ that you can’t teach !
