O’Brien was a wildcard from this draft. There were a lot of rumours he would go to the NCAA unless he went to Brantford. He was seen as a very good offensive player due to his high IQ and ability to lead an offence. Turns out, he made it to Brantford and has made the transition to the OHL seamlessly. He is probably the second best player from this draft and has been an impactful OHLer since day one. He has amazing offensive awareness and understands the ins and outs of how to create offence in the OHL. He looks to be a top-10 pick in the upcoming NHL draft and we could see him end up with a 100 point season in the OHL. Truly a stud at this level and likely in the NHL.
