Scouting Reports
U.S. National U18 Team NHL Draft Grade Update
This year’s U.S. National U18 Team might not have the Super Star potential of the dynamic 2001 team, but from top to bottom we believe that the 2002 group has a strong core of players who will carve out National Hockey League careers for themselves. As always, the grades are fluid and reflect September, October and November viewings.
Nico Daws & Michael Bianconi – Consistency May Lead to Hearing their names called in Montreal
We’ve seen both Nico and Michael play quite a bit recently and have been coming away more impressed each time. Here are our thoughts from a November 16th game versus The Saginaw Spirit.
Saginaw Spirit; NHL Draft Prospect Update
After a slower than expected start to the season, Cole Perfetti is heating up and proving why he came into his draft year ranked 6th in The Neutral Zone Prospect Draft Rankings, but he is not the only Spirit player who is earning some attention. Ilya Solovyov, Ethan Cardwell, Mitchell Smith & Sebastian Bulovs are in the conversation as well.
Guelph Storm; NHL Draft Prospect Update
Daws played in a backup role for the OHL Champion Storm in his first year of NHL draft eligibility. This year Daws won the starting job for Guelph and has been the best player in Guelph’s surprising start with a very young team. Daws excels at covering the bottom of the net and controls his rebounds well. He is poised in the net and doesn’t seem to get flustered in traffic. He competes to see pucks through screens. At 6’5 he covers the net well and shows good lateral mobility while moving side to side in goal mouth scrambles.
Owen Sound Attack; NHL Draft Prospect Update
The Owen Sound Attack have three defensemen who are in the mix to hear their names called during the 2020 NHL Draft. Igor Chibrikov, Mark Woolley & Nolan Seed (pictured) play different styles, but each is effective and they all are developing rapidly.
Top 10 Evaluation – Justin Barron
Lanky smooth skating right shot defenseman who makes plays with his head up and while his feet are moving. Is a weapon on the power play as he can walk the line quickly in either direction, has a hard accurate one timer, quick release on his snap shot and his shots do not get blocked. Excellent at joining the rush as a late attacker & has the poise to carry the puck out of danger when needed. He thrives in transition and has an uncanny ability to hit the stretch man in stride.
Riddle Me This – Tanner Latsch
So in summary… Tanner is a big, smart, fast, physical player who has trained with and competed against the top players in his age group for the past 2 seasons yet does not have a college commitment. Even Batman would be stumped on this one.
OHL: Kingston Frontenac’s Draft Prospects (11/8/19)
Some people do not feel Zayde is a 2020 Draft Prospect, but they are overlooking him. His offensive game is exploding, and we feel his speed, mentality and frame make him a very intriguing professional prospect.
Jake Sanderson
He is the Captain of Team USA and it is obvious that both his teammates and the coaching staff look for Jake to set the tone. He treats his teammates and the officials with respect. He will be a captain at both North Dakota and during his professional career.
