Prospect Info: SJ Sharks 2020 draftee (1/31) Ozzy Wiesblatt (RW) - Prince Albert Raiders/WHL

[Groo]

Welcome aboard

 

[Coily]

Actually seems like Hertl and Thornton are the ones missing. Since the 3 who attended have letters.
I guess Thornton not coming makes sense since he's technically not a Shark.

It's past Hertl's bedtime and Thornton isn't a leader two words. Tin man.

 

[one2gamble]

Seems like everyone loves his game, just questions about if he can bring it to the NHL

If he was 6ft nobody would question it

Well he does fit exactly what we need on the team. Passing RW that can break in

Why does DW Jr look like a hazy screenshot of an npc in NHL 18

He looks like my be a pro with that flow

Really don't know anything about him on the ice, but he has an incredible story. Will be easy to root for. Here's to hoping we get to cheer for him at the NHL level very soon.

I mean it was like 5 in the morning in Switzerland...

The locker room captain could've been busy with Donato . . .

Not surprising Karl wants to play with a guy who has a great transition game....

Scott Wheelers grades us as losers but it's only relative to his personal draft board. The write up still reads nicely.

Like this comment 'his o-zone skill developed aggressively last season'.

Technically he's still a Shark until Thursday night.

It's past Hertl's bedtime and Thornton isn't a leader two words. Tin man.

I'll do you one better. One word: Regular Season.

This is how the Wilson Bloodline looks without UV radiation. DW is only doing us a favor by tanning.

Reaction video is a stark contrast to the soul the Oilers plucked

It's hard to react when your soul has been crushed into a fine powder.

He might have to switch up his number if Jumbos number gets retired.

Lol "if".

 

[Alwalys]

#19 eh?

Being drafted by the Oilers is bad. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light

Got up to watch the pick last night.

Had my fingers crossed that the guy I'd mentioned in the other threads, JJ Peterka, was still there and he was - he would have been my pick. I was surprised Gunler was there and could have seen that as a swing with big upside too. Still hoping one of these guys is selected at 34.

WITH THAT BEING SAID... Wiesblatt is a solid pick. I had him maybe 10-15 picks behind this spot, but as I said previously, once you go past 15 or so in this draft, you could legitimately make a case for anyone in the next 30 picks or so. I trust the scouting team has done its due dilligence so no complaints from me.

My reluctance was literally based on his size, not his game. He clearly has some good skill, a good shot and great wheels. If he's developed properly, I don't see why he couldn't make it as a top 6 scoring winger. At this point, nobody comes with any guarantees so Ozzy is as good as anyone at 31.

Not that it truly matters but I really like in his interviews, he doesn’t do “hockey speak “ he’s articulate. It’s refreshing.

 

[CanadienShark]

Be fitting if they all ended up as Sharks lol

I don't want Orca.

 

[LadyStanley]

I don't want Orca.

Vancouver should grab him.

 

[209]

Can he be the next 17 yr old to make the big club??

 

[themelkman]

Can he be the next 17 yr old to make the big club??

No way. Hes gonna need more size. Speed is pretty good but hes not gonna jump into the NHL how he is now.
