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

[Antonche]

Good start for him.

 

[Finster8]

Misa is a natural C and played wing for the betterment of his team on their way to winning the Memorial Cup. Also being banged up and 16 was detrimental with vets like Beck, Sapovaliv and Hay ahead in age and experience. He still was an intricate part of the greatest success of the organization.
This year he is showing everyone just how strong his total game is with being a huge part of the team and building around him. Leading the league in Pts and goals is only part of how he leads by example. JMO at 6’1 185 he has all that is needed to succeed at the next level in a major way. This season should solidify why he received ES in the first place.

if he keeps this up surely he passes hagens? hagens is good but not what i would consider a sure 1st overall pick to be honest.. i think misa and martone and destnoyers all have potential to be just as good if not better then him in pro ranks

Hagens is a safer pick than Misa, I think that’s why some teams would be inclined to pick him first. I think if Misa’s game doesn’t translate well to the NHL, his off puck play and motor is not enough to compensate, whereas, even if he has a lower offensive ceiling, Hagens’ game brings so much more than offence that will make him a top 15 centreman

The draft doesn’t work like that.

Players around the hockey world compete with each other playing against different levels of competition throughout the season to be the most desirable prospect.

It’s not as if Misa is competing against a player who doesn’t play hockey this season, and NHL teams only care how many points Misa scores in the NHL. There’s no “if Misa hits this PPG he gets to go 1st and if he hits this PPG he goes 4th” equation to this.

You’re making the picture of how players get drafted where seem way more simplistic than it is, and arguably extremely distorted.

Yes, I am telling you that the draft doesn’t work that way.
