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

I'm going to wait until January or early February before making any definitive conclusions as to who should go 1OA. I will say this, however; while Misa has always played a strong game off the puck (not sure what that poster was thinking when he made the comment that it was a weakness of his), is a very good skater with very good puck skills, he never really drove his line and was more the recipient of the offensive work put in by others..... until this season. He is making everything happen out there now and of course if he keeps this up he will most certainly be in the mix for 1st overall. Still to early though and we will see how he does as the season grinds on.

I don't think I saw a game at all last season, but the one prior (his exceptional extra year) I watched a few games, and I though he was the driver then. This season is more on par with what I expected after seeing him in those games. He had "it" imo. I'm no scout however...

I admit I have never seen him play but looking at the numbers he seems to be shredding the OHL, I am curious to why he is only 4th or 5th in most mocks....

It's most likely due to a hangover from last season, where he was good but not great. I don't think you will see him at the 4th or 5th slot that much longer. I personally like him better than Martone and just behind Hagens.

Again just looking at the numbers I think I want him 2nd for The Habs.

Hagens then Misa then Shaeffer

Last season Misa had a different role. Beck, Sapovaliv, Hay all NHL prospects with age and experience ahead of him. He was also a big part of winning the MC.
Last year was last year he is playing very well this season and his natural position.
Would look good in a Habs uniform with all that young talent.
This debate will be all season right until whatever team chooses first. The top 5 are all good picks depending upon your teams needs. BPA is getting to be a matter of opinion I see no one leaps and bounds ahead by any means. Enjoy the ride it will be entertaining.

Not being a dork
GP-23 G-23 A-23 P-46 +21
Was just looking over his stats and those extra 3 games would put him around 52 points.
Only 5 on PP and 2 SH. U
