RW Taylor Raddysh - Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, OHL (2016, 58th, TBL)

[landy92mack29]

I've watched him twice and have been impressed by him. He's not a speedster but isn't a bad skater by any means. Has a good shot and sees the ice very well with his high hockey IQ. Is good at protecting the puck with his 6'2 200 lbs frame and so far has 6G+19A in 16 games. To me he looks like a late 1st talent but curious what others see in him and where he might go come draft day.

late first is accurate. good size, battles hard in the corner and in front of the net. good shooter but has shown off his playmaking skills and vision this season

 

[Mach85]

His hockey sense makes him an intriguing prospect for me.

His hockey sense makes him an intriguing prospect for me.

Noticed he's off to a great start this season and also noticed his stats from last season 21g 6a are the opposite of what they are this season 8g 21a which is unusual.

I'm a big fan of hockey sense. How's his defensive play and does he have a physical element to his game? He's got the size for it.

 

[MrClutch86]

I like this kid

 

[landy92mack29]

Had 2G tonight and now has 12G+26A in 25 games.

 

[landy92mack29]

Little update on his year. Had an assist today which gives him 16G+37A in 43 games and likely late 1st pick.

 

[Torts]

If he slips into the 2nd round somehow some team is getting a great player in that 31-35 range.

 

[landy92mack29]

Strong finish to the regular season with 2 goals. Finishes the year with 24G+49A in 67 games to help Erie be regular season OHL champs and get the #1 seed over London.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

He's a very reliable player. His skating isn't fantastic, but I think he'd be a decent pick late first to early/mid second.

 

[EON]

Taylor Raddysh had a very good season overall. Good size, all around solid player in the offensive zone. Should be a solid 2nd round pick, projects as a top nine winger imo.

 

[BigRangy]

You guys all need to shush so that the Flames can take him with their second.

[landy92mack29]

1st star with 2G+2A tonight and is off to a very good start to the year with 7G+14A in only 8 games. Surprised he fell to the late 2nd but it looks like Tampa got themselves another steal.

 

[bennitez7]

Stats looking great so far. Is he for real or are his stats a result of playing with deBrincat?

Thanks.

 

[Icebreakers]

27 points in 11 games...

 

[vaiski]

I'd like a report on this guy too, leading the OHL in scoring. Possibly an another Tampa steal?

 

[chunkylover53]

Another guy who a lot of people had going earlier in than he was drafted showing everyone why.

 

[landy92mack29]

Just cant keep him off the score sheet. 1G+3A last night and has 13G+22A in 14 games now

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Guys scoring like McDavid. Does he look as good as his numbers?

 

[Willy Styles]

another late round steal by the lightning? damn

 

[izzy]

Oh Tampa...

 

[Patmac40]

another late round steal by the lightning? damn

Well, he was a 2nd rounder, so not exactly.

He's having a monster year though. I was a big fan of him last year and picked him in a couple of the mock drafts I was involved in with pretty good confidence about him. Great to see he's emerging like this.

 

[bennitez7]

Maybe the least talked about prospect who is leading a league in scoring (draft +1 year). Hard (for me at least) to get any info. Would really appreciate some reports. How is his Skating, IQ, Shot, defense,...?

Thanks a lot guys.

Just yesterday the Tampa website had a great article about him.

What makes me most excited about him is, that he is not the classic high scoring midget running circles around junior players. He is a 200 foot player with a great shot and also a great IQ, which for me sounds like a great mixture for success in the long run.

Super excited to have him in the org and is just one of a few currently tearing up their junior league (Joseph, Cirelli and Ingram are also playing well above their draft position statistically)
