I like to think of him as a beanpole Nichushkin. Great at driving the net and generating breakaways. Struggles a bit when the play is already established in the zone.
 
Could be Carl Hagelin 2.0 and is one of the youngest prospects in this class. Annoyed that the Yotes passed up on Formenton (thought for sure he'd be on our radar because of our London connection) and Ikonen at 44.
 
Looked good in Dev camp... He could be an excellent pick... one of the youngest in the draft class ... great wheels , good hands, likes to get involved
 
Hopefully with more ice time in London he can showcase himself.

it almost seems like most sens fans are happier with this pick rather than the Bower's pick.

I think a lot of that has to do with who was still on the table when the Sens picked Bower. I would have loved Kostin, and lots had their eye on Tolvanen. I was hoping Yamamoto would fall to us, but that wasn't in the books.

Hopefully Brown can go back to the OHL this year and just rip the league to shreds.
 
Someone was saying in the ottawa prospects thread that they heard Shean Donovan on the radio saying the Formenton has grown an inch and a half since he was drafted 4 months ago.

Does this happen with a lot of recently drafted prospects ?

I'm sure it happens but Formenton is a late bloomer for sure - he was maybe 5'7 when drafted to the OHL.
 
This kid is definitely a steal in the 2nd round for the Sens. Was at the Sens game tonight Brown, Chabot, Chlapík, Lajoie and Formenton were extremely noticeable against the Canadiens. Formenton will make the Sens next year. He will go back to London this season and just dominate.
 
Biggest surprise in Sens camp, for sure. Kid is a gamer. It's going to be a treat to see him develop as he adds some meat to his bones.
 
Add him on to the growing list of Sens prospects who look much further along in their development than anticipated.

I'm biased, but Ottawa has the most underrated prospect pool in the league. I've seen people ranking them as low as 26/27 yet they have 6-7 guys who look to be surefire NHLers are 3-4 with star potential if all goes right.
