Close but no cigar...
My Post-OMHAs/ETAs Top-10 (from 03-16-2016):
Disclaimer:
1) I'm not a scout. I'm a dad, just not one of those dads. I've played and coached, consider myself a lifelong student of the game and I've been through all this before with an older son.
2) Although I personally know a couple of OHL owners and a few OHL GMs/Coaches/AGMs/Scouts, I'm not an OHL insider. Therefore I don't have any access to OHL Central Scouting data, Hockey Tech type testing data or the like. I don't have the opportunity to interview players to know either their intentions or what kind of people they are off the ice. I also don't have access to "shopping lists" and know position has a fairly big effect on where a player is drafted and by whom. I also don't have the sample size to make a full determination on when a player will be drafted. I see one team ALOT. I see teams in their division more and teams in the other division less.
I'm also not a subscriber of any scouting service. I'm just a dude doing what you guys are: watching minor-midget hockey trying to project where certain players might fit in at the next level. I'm not pimping, just offering one opinion. Will I be wrong on some? Certainly, but the proof will be in the pudding on April 9th.
My Top-10:
1) Aidan Dudas - NCP (Round 1) - 2nd ETA pick (Owen Sound 1-10)
2) Dennis Busby - BC (Round 1) - 5th ETA pick (Flint 2-23)
3) Ty Dellandrea - COW (Round 2) - 1st ETA pick (Flint 1-5)
4) Nathan Dunkley - QRD (Round 2-3) - 3rd ETA pick (Kingston 1-17)
5) Mason Snell - CT (Round 2-3) - 10th ETA pick (North Bay 3-54)
6) Cameron Hillis - YSE (Round 3) - 7th ETA pick (Guelph 2-28)
7) Quinn Yule - COW (Round 3-4) - 19th ETA pick (Ottawa 5-84)
8) Mitchell Pellarin - NCP (Round 4-5) 41st ETA pick (Oshawa 11-207)

10) Jacob Roach - WW (Round 5) - 30th ETA pick (Sudbury 8-148)
First ETA Goalie selected: Jacob Ingham - 6th ETA pick, 1st goalie (Mississauga 2-26)
10 Honourbale Mentions (in alpha order):
Dawson Baker - QRD - 14th ETA pick (Sudbury 4-63)
Connor Corcoran - BC - 4th ETA pick (Windsor 2-21)
Mitchell Doyle - CT - 18th ETA pick (Guelph 5-82)
Issac Emon - NCP - 31st ETA pick (Peterborough 8-149)
Nolan Hutcheson - GKF - 17th ETA pick (Sudbury 4-80)
Barret Kirwin - BC - 24th ETA pick (Guelph 6-120)
Braydon Leeking - COW - 21st ETA pick (Flint 6-104)
Carter Robertson - YSE - 8th ETA pick (Ottawa 2-30)
Liam Robertson - CT - 13th ETA pick (London 3-60)
Chad Yetman - WW - 38th ETA pick (Erie 10-196)
So I missed (over-estimated) a little on Yule and alot on Roach and Pellarin and I missed (under-estimated) on Corcoran and YSE's Robertson.
It was a fun process to follow and I enjoyed reading all your posts, especially the rumours and mock drafts in the week preceeding the draft.
Happy hockey everyone!
