LW Austen Keating - Ottawa 67s, OHL (2017 Draft)

[ikyan]

Sorry if there is already a thread, couldn't find it.

Have only seen a few games of his, including today... he just always seems to be in the right spot at the right time.

Any 67s fans that could provide some insight on his upside at the next level?

Here is Brocks recent write up on Keating:

"Very high skilled player who started the year at center for Ottawa but finished the year on the wing. Keating possesses a lot of skill with the puck and seems to have a high hockey IQ in the offensive end too. But his skating is only average at this point, and when combined with average size, there are bound to be a few red flags. Getting stronger and quicker will be key for him as he moves into his draft season. I was disappointed with his play at the Canadian Hlinka camp, where he wasn't all that noticeable (and failed to make the roster)."

Keating and Chmelevski have great chemistry early in the year which has led to a hot start for Keating with 2G+6A in 4 games.

Weird this guy didn't get a pro contract... or are pro contracts in short supply?
