RW Chase Stillman - Sudbury Wolves, OHL (2021, 29th, NJD)

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

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.

TBF he also could have easily dropped. Someone from the OHL is going to go way later than they should have in retrospect due the season being canceled, here's hoping it's Chase.

Showing my lack of understanding here - but "D-1" implies the season prior to his draft-eligible year right?

Or does that refer to the season that just took place this year.

Glad we got Hughes but was a little bummed to see us reach for Stillman. I'm sure the OHL not playing will have a say in his rankings this year. We have seen these kind of picks many times the past few years so as we know we will have to wait 5ish years to really know if it was worth it or not. I'm a fan of what he brings to the table but he doesnt have a crazy ceiling IMO. We lost Batstian and Maltsev already this offseason so bringing in a kid with good size who plays a physical game is a +.

He was traded to the Peterborough Petes today.

Has anyone watched him this year? How does he look?

One word, disappointing.

Especially as of late. He's looked completely disengaged and like he checked out weeks ago. That can't happen, especially when you're looked to as a leader on a young Wolves team.

Hopefully the trade to Peterborough does him some good.

Joins McTavish for likely his last OHL season. Wonder how deep they go...

McTavish was traded to Hamilton.

What has happened to this guy? Looks like he hasn’t improved significant since the 19-20 season. Also why would he go to the Danish u20 league last year?

OHL never had a season, went to whatever league he could in Europe like many other OHL kids

I know that . Why the Danish u20 league specifically though? Barely a top 10 European junior league. There was obviously better options in europe, junior wise, not even speaking on senior league potential

Players left late, teams have import and roster limits, they took whatever their agents could get

Four goals and one assist tonight against Mississauga

Kid is such a stud. New Jersey got real value with Stillman.

Can't say I'm surprised. Actually predicted this in the Othmann thread. The elevation to the top line surely helped even though he also created some offense on his own. Won't score 4 goals every game but if he sticks on the top line then his point totals will finally go up. He was a complete player already, just needed to score more. Now he's got the chance to show what he's all about.

 

[Breakers]

Hopefully he has a better Hockey IQ than his brother.

Big season for Stillman upcoming. Needs to show progress
