Coached by his dad.

I think he has a ton of potential but his game still needs a lot of refinement.

On the bright side, he has a great shot, loves to shoot the puck, is aggressive in puck pursuit. Pretty good hands and is very creative with the puck.

On the less good side, lots of neutral zone giveways, carrys the puck a bit too much, uses his teammates less then he should, takes a low of low % shots rather then passing the puck.

I would not be shocked to see him end up as a second round pick next year if his game continues to develop.

2021. - next year is 2020

Yeah, in my head current year = 2020 draft, next year = 2021 draft, but you're correct

 

[Artorius Horus T]

What kind of role he has had in his rookie season for Sudbury?

Just above 80 shots on goal in 56 games for a winger, would suggest a small role.
(or that he is a first pass winger guy)

13 goals, 21 assists, 34 points, (0.62 ppg) -1 with 61 penalty minutes so far this season.

He too got to the Hlinka/Gretzky selection camp.

He was mostly playing on the 3rd line, with some 2nd unit PP time if I remember correctly.

Cory was most certainly not giving Chase any preferential treatment on account of him being his son, thats for sure. He was pretty much told from day 1 that he was going to have to earn every minute that he got, and that held true all season long.

Oddly enough, I dont even think that Chase lives with his mom and dad here in Sudbury, and instead lives with billets. I guess they didnt want any complications that would come from the dynamic of trying to balance living together and being a coach/player on an OHL team.

This could be big for his draft stock. He's a guy, who with a good enough, would not be shocking to see raise himself into the conversation for the end of the 1st round by the time the draft rolls around.

No offense to Danish leagues but I don't think playing in Denmark will do anything drastic to his draft stock unless he plays beyond terrible or annihilates the top league

[Get North]

More of a 3rd rounder than 2nd. You can get more skill in the 2nd than Stillman, but this kid seems valuable in the playoffs.

The team that will pick him will be super happy, one of the steals of this draft i predict.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

When i created this thread in 2019 he was 5 foot 11, he has nicely grown, now he is 6 foot 1.

 

[Osakahaus]

How's his forechecking? Is it good or is it nothing to note on?

Amazing. He's high energy and a very efficient hitter.

Here's hoping!

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Not a fan of the pick considering who was on the board, but of his 34 points in his draft -1 year, only one was on the power play. Suggests he could be a sneaky good scorer

 

[Hinterland]

A bit early I guess but I like the player a lot. Very efficient hitter, righty and good hands. Those players don't grow on trees. And he was fantastic at the WJC18.

saw him in sudbury a lot. Probably played more minutes than he should have out of the gate because his dad was the coach however, he delivered with those extra minutes. He’s clearly got skill. Great hands, hard worker, will fight, and can score.
It was also a surprise to me to see him go this high, but he definitely has nhl upside.

 

[AfroThunder396]

If he had gotten to play in a real league this year there's no reason to think he wouldn't have been ranked in the 20's.

His D-1 year production was nearly identical to Othmann, who went #16. His "consensus" ranking is definitely a product of having little exposure in his draft year.
