F Sandis Vilmanis - North Bay Battalion, OHL (2022, 157th, FLA)

[Leviathan899]

What we're seeing is that his skating, speed and size allows him to do much of the same at the NHL level in terms of scoring. And that sort of changes the entire equation.

We've got a natural goal scorer on our hands here.

He was an absolute problem for teams to handle in the OHL playoffs. Has a well developed offensive toolbox, and he was skating extremely well, putting opposing D on their heels. His shot and ability to finish are all really good. If he can show he can handle the game away from the puck at this level, I think he’ll become a solid NHL scorer in a couple of years. Has 20-30 goal potential imo.
