Good start to OHL career, anyone have info?

Unbelievable player. Works very hard, extremely quick on his feet, tenacious with the puck, willing to shoot the puck from anywhere if he sees a spot, hard worker along the boards and wins most every puck battle. He is LEGIT.

Imagine the Hounds get his brother Gavin to take a run?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

7 points in 4 games. Why didn’t he make the NTDP or did he not want to play for the NTDP?

He wasn't even at the evaluation camp. My guess would be that he was committed to the OHL route as his brothers had gone that way and the NTDP knew that.

I even thought he was over drafted into the OHL a few months back. Might go down as one of my worst takes of all time.

His numbers will regress I think - his numbers aren’t sustainable for a player his age and role - I believe he has been getting 2nd PP time and 3rd line minutes but he has been impressive for a player his age, finding soft spots on the ice, not being afraid of the front of the net and always has his feet moving.

He is going to be a VERY good OHL player.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

33 points in 54 games in his 16 year old season. Very solid numbers for an early September 2007.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Probably should be on the Hlinka team in the summer. Any others from the CHL?

Henry Brzustewicz (Washington Township Michigan, London Knights) and Nicolas Whitehead (Orlando Florida, dual citizen, Ottawa 67s) are prime candidates.

Good shouts.

We need right shot defensemen. We’ll have a lot of LHD.

Whitehead played with the presumptive Hlinka team last summer and didn’t do himself any bad.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Interested to see if Hayes pops off in his DY for Sault Ste Marie.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Beck ages out, McConnell Barker will likely be in Hartford, big opportunity for Hayes to increase his production

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Playing for the States at the Hlinka Gretzky, big opportunity for Hayes to show his skills to every team's scouts.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Looked decent for much of the States' opener in the Hlinka Gretzky. Needs more ice time IMHO.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Thought that Hayes looked solid in the games I watched, but was never used enough or in the offensive role I would have preferred.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’ll probably get drafted in the later rounds on the strength of his OHL production, but I didn’t think he added much and looked like a draft pick. Small, skill guy who isn’t that skilled or skates overly well. Very underwhelming, although that’s not to say he’s a zero, but not a real impact skill guy, by any means.

Gotta say that all three of these Hayes brothers disappoint me. They all produce okay in the OHL and play pretty mediocre for USAH. Don’t think any of them are regular NHL’ers.

Hope the fourth of them ends up the best.

USA Hockey never watches the CHL guys and thus plays all of them down the lineup if they even invite them

 

[Hockeyville USA]

7 points in 7 games to start the season for Sault Ste Marie.

Had a two point night in a big 3-2 win for the Soo. He's put up 25 points (9G, 16A) in his last 20 games. His production really took after being put on a line with Brady Martin and Marco Mignosa in late January. Where do most of you have him rated? I think he's a good candidate for a 4th/5th round pick

Could go as high as the 3rd round but probably a 4th or 5th rounder as you alluded to

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’s so meh to me. Dime a dozen decent junior scorer that doesn’t have the scoring chops to succeed in the NHL, but maybe he’ll exceed my expectation.

All three so far have seemed like the same player with one of them being a little bigger than the others. I’m not getting my hopes up for this fourth one.

Travis should really consider going to the NCAA now that that route is opened up. Go to Michigan like his uncle did. Michigan could certainly use him, better than some of bums they've been bringing in for depth lately.

i can see him going NCAA in his OA year after the core has moved on. the Hounds are a really close group that are all excited to see what they can do in a year or two.
