2026-27 I believe is the OHLs turn to host and the Sault should be bidding and be a favorite after being a runner up recently. That would likely or at least hopefully keep him around for that season.

I'm guessing whoever drafts him will want him in the NCAA for 2026-27, his 19 year old season

This is one of those guys that came out of nowhere and became a legitimate top talent in the blink of an eye. Doesn’t happen too often but love it when it does.
Kinda like a Mark Scheifele almost 15 years ago.

I won't pretend to know much about the NCAA but why would a team prefer him there vs a potential Memorial Cup host? Playing against older competition ?

Older, mostly better competition. More time in the weight room, thus physical development.
I get what you’re saying, but honestly he didn’t just get good overnight. Something happened for some reason why he didn’t get playing time for Waterloo and was left off the USA Hlinka team (probably as simple as USAH has no imagination and left him off because Waterloo wouldn’t play him), but he was on a team with Rombach, Fiddler, Kevan, Simpson and some of the better non-NTDP American 2007’s during summer 2023, and he was the best player for that group.
