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.

You think he'd go to the NCAA next year or the year after with CHLers now NCAA eligible?
 
Third best after Hagens and Martone.

Definitely could see O'Brien go top-10, but the production should be taken with a grain of salt.
Why should the production be taken with a grain of salt? Not criticizing but the production is what it is, unless you’re talking about the actual strength of the league. Then again there’s a ton of draft prospects this year from the OHL.

He's the third leading scorer on his own team, and last time I checked a few weeks ago a disproportionate amount of his production was on the PP.
