One player not being named that I think will be high on first round lists when all is said and done is Chase Reid for Waterloo in USHL.

He didn’t play that many games this past season, but I see him almost as like a right handed Luke Hughes. Kris Letang if you want a righty comparison.

What is your opinion on Evan Jardine? Seems to produce a lot.

Russian hockey thriving in spite of you-know-what.

I don’t know the Europeans here but holy crap this is gonna be a STACKED draft

Dime a dozen smaller scoring winger that isn’t that tall or fast and doesn’t have elite scoring abilities. Probably will light up the USHL and then be a mid/late round pick.

 

[czech]

Katolicky, Novak and Novotny may end up in the first round. Or at least two of them. But the total number of Czechs in this draft will be small compared to the previous and subsequent years.
