2016 OHL Draft Rankings Top 100

[Mark Edwards]

Our top 10 is free to view.

HockeyProspect.com has released our February ranking of the Top 100 prospects eligible for 2016 OHL Draft. The rankings are based on games viewed by our scouts up to February 9th, 2016.

Bode Wilde from the Chicago Mission remains our top rated prospect on our list. Wilde is a big talented defenseman who brings fantastic skating and offense to the table.

The Toronto Jr. Canadiens Ryan Merkley holds tight as our #2 ranked prospect on our upadted list. The race remains very tight for the top spot and Merkley is one of the players in that race.

Our top forward on our list is still Kirill Nizhnikov from the Toronto Jr. Canadiens. Blade Jenkins narrowly missed out on the 3rd spot and holds our 4th position on our list.

So London finishes tied for highest in points and gets seeded behind the four division winners for the playoffs. Yet in the draft, they're picking behind them...

As Phyler said on the Knights board, it's not right. Time to fix this idiotic rule.

 

[Mark Edwards]

We might. I'm not a big fan of them but I know a lot of fans like them. Time will probably decide it. Busy week ahead traveling.

without names, are there any HEO guys in the top 50?

Yes.

I am not a fan of many things associated with the current OHL Playoffs structure.

London does just fine in the draft and will pick first round talent in later rounds - no need to worry or whine.

 

[Snippit]

Regardless of the team, it's just not a fair rule.

 

[Ward Cornell]

Agreed 100%
Just a dumbazz rule

 

[dirty12]

It would be more fair to base draft place on playoff results like the NFL? Keep it the way it is, or play a balanced schedule and have a true seeding at the end of regular season.
The 'London...is just unfair' gets tiring; reading anything being unfair to London makes me want to throw up.
