F Michael Misa - Saginaw Spirit, OHL (2025 Draft)

hockeylegend11 · Friday at 11:27 PM

Michael Misa with 5G,1A,6 Pts after his 1st 2 games of the regular season for Saginaw.
Would be shocked if he doesn't go top 3 in the next NHL draft.

What are his short comings?

I wouldn't call them shortcomings but for me it's a gut feeling type of thing as I think he will have the impact of say a Kyle Conner, ie really standing out for their skill but both guys will be better in fantasy leagues than as NHL players.

Yikes! Based on everything posters have written, it's hard to understand people's reservations. He looks to have ALL the tools, so why aren't people higher on Misa?

His size is perfect. He seems to have high end skill?

What is his skating like? His hockey I.Q.?

P.S. The Ticats are <bleeping> the bed against the Lions. Grrrr. Come on, boys, we NEED this win.

Don't get me wrong I think Misa has a higher offensive ceiling than Kyle, it's just that they both aren't as good as they look sometimes but that's just a gut feeling I have about certain players and I'm often wrong.

Re : "both aren't as good as they look sometimes"

You lost me. Do you mean he is inconsistent? Does he lack drive? Is he strong defensively?

No it's not that but rather they are both going to score their points at the next level and other players around them in scoring and below them are going to be seen or felt as better players.

I don't understand but I do appreciate you taking the time to answer.

I think you are saying he does NOT demand the spotlight and will fly under the radar while still getting his points.

As a Canadians, I'd love to see him overtake Hagens for 1OA.

Brain fart l ment to say Hagens and would be good to see him challenge for top 3

Ticats won in O.T.. Nice! Playoffs here we come!!!!

Can’t believe some people thought a kid who tied or broke some of McDavids records in the the OHL cup and as a 15 year old ohler forgot how to play hockey. Pretty obvious he was hurt part of last year and deferred to vets Saginaw brought in to win the memorial cup.

Nolan Patrick?

Was considered a seriously good prospect with a very high ceiling I personally saw a really good 2c as at the time but he was viewed as a power center a with great playmaking ability for me the skating or high end skill wasn't there for me as a no.1 overall Uber elite talent, thought his defensive game could make up for it, looked like a top 5 pick onstead of top 3 I digress as injuries derailed his career and his potential was immense however I viewed Lafreniere very similarly as I questioned his skating ability and high end skill and play driving ability just like Patrick, but he seems to have turned a corner still probably not #1 which would probably be stutzle as that's the comparison I see for misa. Misa has high end skating, skill and creativity which is why the Patrick comparison makes no sense.

Yes but is it too late? I fear it is.

Faceboner · 2024-09-28T12:30:46-0400

He is like a Larkin/Kyle Connor hybrid with a dash of Guentzel

Yup. Patrick was such a bust, any comparison will feel like a slight against Misa.

No Canadian blood in that comparison.

Maybe a toews/marner hybrid and a
dash of sheiffle?

Mathieukferland · 2024-09-28T13:04:22-0400

Comparison for me has always been (prime) Séguin, fast north-south powerful skater with a talent for scoring. Quite lax off the puck though in my opinion

Why did Misa fall off everyone's 1OA last year? His 2nd year was strong. Not great but still very good.

I get that he's not a center but at 6'1", with skill, that's pretty darn good.

His PPG went down. Thats usually a bad sign.

It did but if his production jumps up this year better than his previous two and flashes two way ability he definitely gets in 1 overall convo

ORRFForever · 2024-09-28T21:55:14-0400

2 Goals tonight.

The second goal here shows his strongest attribute, what an explosion

He was hurt and Saginaw added like 5 vets to play top line minutes for a playoff run. Of course his ppg is going to be down lol

Good scouts would look past the numbers to see what was going on.
