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

[Corso]

If you watch him live, you know he's making an NHL roster next season.

Even Colby feels that he may end up in the NHL next season. He has not committed to any school yet and he (most likely) will not as he will sign his ELC. Schools are talking to him and many other players but no firm bites yet from any big time player yet (think there will be a couple though)......BTW how's that Cam Robinson tweet holding up now??

If you take the bias out you’d know it’s not as clear cut as you think.

I didn’t have that thought about Perfetti, or Mintyukov, or Parekh. I understand where my bias lies.

None of those guys were in the mix for the top 4 of the draft where as misa is. Believe if he goes top 4 that is the highest a Saginaw player has been chosen, correct?

I seem to remember one of us thinking Parekh is getting to the NHL much sooner than the other thinks he will. I make honest assessments of players to the best of my abilities whether someone plays for a team I support or not.

Wright wishes he was as good as Misa

I wonder if he can have a Michkov / Bedard type rookie season, dude is really special. I see him potting about 45 points in his rookie year though realistically.

He's good and has certainly improved upon last year's performance but no, don't expect that. He will play some games in the NHL and may stick all season, but I can see him spending time in the AHL (providing CHL transferred agreement is modified as expected) or return to the OHL.

As for playing college next year, we will know a lot more about a lot of these high-end players as the draft approaches.

Is there much difference between Celebrini and Misa's game?

Off puck games are worlds apart and Misa doesn't come close to having the hockey sense exhibited by Celebrini.

Come to the Gophers, and we'll be happy to return any teddy bears you want to shoot back to the ice.
