Yeah Windsor is a big boy team this year for sure. Huge size up front.
). I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t become a perennial 50+ point guy in the NHL.With his hockey-sense/skill/size combo, I wouldn't have batted an eye if he was drafted after Luchanko. (I'm also not one of those who ever thought taking him at 13 was a reach). But I also think many (not all) of players taken between Lunchanko and Greentree were also deserving of being drafted where they were. LA did very well.
Never made sense to me why he was ranked so low after a 90 point dy season on the worst team arguably in the OHL
He won’t tear it up with the best Canada has to offer, doubt he even makes the roster.
Really depends on if George becomes anything of note. Hage versus Greentree is pretty even although Hage has a bit better certainty of becoming an NHLer IMHO.
Oh I guarantee there are some. Sennecke was one of the most polarizing prospects in a long time. Seems like scouts either thought he had 1st line to franchise player type upside, or a middle-six ceiling. I was and am in the latter camp lmao.
Just ignore the ones that say stuff like that they have 0 clue whatsoever. Anyone saying Greentree isn’t a 1st round talent should just never talk again period. This goes before the draft too.
Exactly. The concerns over his skating are/were extremely overblown, imo. He lacks foot speed somewhat, and his acceleration is below average. But those things are completely normal for young guys with a big frame. That stuff will almost certainly improve as he gains strength and power as he develops. From a technical standpoint, his skating is fine. His stride is a little choppy and awkward looking at times, but once he gets going, he doesn’t lack speed, not to the point where it’s a huge concern. He doesn’t play the game around those things anyways. I guess if he was a finesse perimeter type winger, that it would be an issue, but he isn’t. He’s a beast down low and in the trenches, has good vision and IQ, is smart positionally, can play a physical game, and has an NHL level shot. Gonna turn out to be a steal for LA.
Wasn’t in contention with how bad he did for Canada at the u18’s.
Yet he always wins the skate contest with all those empty net goals. He can skate well enough.
