[Lavar Ball]

Overtime winner today and I don’t believe it has been mentioned but he is aleady the captian of the Owen Sound Attack at 17. impressive stuff.

After a slow first 5 games has been on a complete rampage. Another 2 goals and 2 assists tonight. 11 point in 8 games after 1 in 5.

I was at the game and he really controlled the play. Good IQ and 2-way game and plays fast and strong. Owen sound had a great game.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

7 goals (3 x gwg, 6 x 5 on 5) in 8 games, is also +10.

Is Barlow a center or winger?

Is Barlow a center or winger?

He's definitely a winger, Petrovsky was the centre on that line last night but guindon has also played up the middle, but never Barlow.

He was a centre in his youth, so I wouldn’t put it out of question if he wanted to switch back over upon the request of an NHL team.

He certainly has the frame you’d want from a centre man

Oh yeah, I understand completely. And it’s a very thankless job, especially if you do it as a hobby. Just know there are many people, not just myself that appreciate it.

Three games of Barlow:

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Interesting prospect. Great goal scorer and it's pretty cool he's the captain of his junior team before being drafted to the NHL.

It‘s an incredibly rate feat for a kid that isn’t a late birthday or Exceptional status plaher - I wish there was some way to find out this Information without having to comb through individual years.

 

[Lavar Ball]

Three point night and 2nd star in a win against Erie. Played a really strong overall game. He is pushing for top prospect out of the OHL

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Kid reminds me a lot of a better skating Christian Fischer, who took apart the OHL in his D+1 season.

That's not meant to be a knock BTW. If Fischer could skate he'd be a dominant power forward.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

10 goals, 10 assists, +11, 11 penalty minutes, in 15 games so far.

I really like this comparison.

 

[Torts]

There's also something to be said about being chosen as team captain as a 17 year old in your second full season of OHL hockey. I love his ability to score goals and think he should be mentioned in the same likes of Yager, Benson, Dvorsky forwards in this years draft (top 10-15ish range).

 

[Lavar Ball]

 

[Lou Bloom]

Absolutely love his game, reminds me a lot of Timo Meier coming out. Even in this stacked 2023 class I'd rank him inside the top 10.

Was thinking the exact same. Really reminds of of Meier!
