Not this yr, likely going back to junior & will probably need some AHL development time when his junior career is over.

Sorry but with all the camps and games in the Summer I am not certain what this means.
Are you saying he will be at the TC for the 2022 championships team slated to play in August or a Summer TC for the team that will play in December?
Would be sick if he could play both.

From my viewings at the development camp what I noticed was his determination, drive & compete level that makes him really difficult to handle plus being big & strong & his skating is also good. Ostapchuk - Greig - Boucher would be a handful to handle if they were ever on the same line.

I didn’t do anything I just posted on a message board.
I also mean he could be traded

So I saw Ostapchuk play when I went to Vancouver (Langley, if you want to get specific!) in November. They lost that night to Kamloops, 4-1, but Ostapchuk was the best player on the ice for the Giants by a mile. He logged a ton of ice time and played in all situations - PP and PK in addition to his regular ice. Nice skater - he's not Formenton, but very few are. I think he projects well as a middle six NHL power forward - exactly what his scoring touch in the NHL will be is tough to say, but I think it's safe to say at this point that he is a legit NHL prospect. A full year in Belleville next year should round him into form nicely...

I'm pretty excited about this guy. He could be a really nice 3rd, or even 2nd, line player in a couple of years. Really nice speed; not afraid to go in hard on the forecheck and he has some decent hands as well.
Mondays Prospects update late again...

Oof - your Royals are having a tough season. I feel for you. We were there with the 67's a few years ago - when you hit rock bottom in junior hockey you REALLY hit rock bottom...

That's interesting. Instead of having Ostapchuk be a key part of a shutdown line maybe he'll play with top players in a complimentary role.
Wow, the coaches must love Ostapchuk. I guess his role will be to win pucks for his linemates and crash the net.

Think it’s more that they’ve thrown the 6 locks together.
Gaucher will almost certainly be anchoring a 3rd/4th line down the middle.
Would imagine 2 of Bolduc/Roy/Othmann/Fantilli/Schaeffer/Greene will be taking both LW spots on the top line, with 2/3 of the other guys cut.

Interesting article on Zack Ostapchuk, looks like he is going to be a good gritty player, hopefully turns out like Killorn.
I found the article light on details and facts. I hope Ostapchuk turns out to be a decent NHL player who plays big and has a physical side to his game.
