C/RW Jordan Kyrou - Sarnia Sting, OHL (2016, 35th, STL)

[Macker88]

For those not familiar with Sarnia's Jordan Kyrou he is a highly intelligent, highly skilled winger, who projects to be a second round pick in the coming NHL Draft.

Here is an article we did on the Sting forward,

Our Scouting Report. Surprised to see so little talk about him.

I watched the Sting quite a bit this season. He was inconsistent, but he did have the ability to wow you on certain plays. His overall game got better after the prospects game. Good bet he continues to improve.

Some highlights of him at the U18.



Think he deserves more hype than he's gotten.

Does anyone have any insights on Kyrou? His stats have improved drastically so far this year, he was a standout for the Blues at the Traverse City tournament, and I love the scouting report. Speed. Offensive ability. Only lacking a bit in size. Sounds like today's NHL.

Has anyone watched many Sarnia games that might be able to spread a bit of knowledge? I'm really excited by what I hear but the one thing I'm missing is the actual ability to watch him play.

This is the pick the Blues received in the Elliott trade (35th OA).

Kyrou's a well rounded player with excellent vision.

He doesn't have any glaring weaknesses in his game though he needs to get stronger.

He's a guy that you could see play anywhere in the lineup because of his strong overall game.

I would be surprised if he doesn't become a full time nhler barring injuries. St. Louis have got a good one.

Same except for the U18 and he rocked it there. He might end up as a poor mans Schwartz.

Really smart player with NHL talent

Impresses me every time I see him play.

 

[Nealssens]

Whats to expect from him going forward? He has a pretty impressive jump in production this year.

 

[tfriede2]

Even more impressive is that he had 36 more points than the next highest scorer on his team. He will likely be back in juniors next season, although he might get the 9 game look for the Blues. Unfortunately, he's too young for the AHL. He'll need to work on his shot and defensive play, but he's a dynamic, fast player whose style fits today's NHL. He has a decent shot at being a top 6 forward in a couple of years.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Blues scouting staff is amazing

Kyrou is a gem.

 

[PiggySmalls]

I think he has a decent shot of getting a 9 game look if he has a really good camp, but will likely get sent back to Sarnia. I watched him last year in Columbus for pre-season and he looked good in the O-Zone but chased the puck too much in his own zone.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

why such little chatter about him? Ive heard unreal things about the guy and figured I would see what everyone here is saying, but im only the 15th message????

I realize Blues fans don't really over hype prospects on here and are more less quiet, but still!!

some Blues fans are even thinking he will be getting a 9 game look next season

It is summer.......

It is summer.......

exactly my point... this is when people go nuts talking about prospects and other stuff in the NHL. Especially when all teams have their development caps in July. Prospect area on this site goes crazy in the offseason as you can see when scrolling through everything with fans talking about who their top prospects are and all that

Not to mention the fact he was drafted in 2016 draft so people could have been discussing him for quite a while since being drafted

oh well, just curious is all... Blues have a gem here

Couldn't agree more sj08 , I'm really hoping he impresses in training camp & earns himself a 9game tryout & from there anything is possible . Hoping he could be a effective offensive force as early as this season , i can see him on the right side of fabbri & stastny & if he produces what he's capable of then look out , kid's got slick mits , wheels & high intelligence , potential under the radar future force ( fingers crossed ) .

Kyrou was a weird draft eligible, in the sense that he was a player with visibly good hockey sense and obvious top 6 talent, but mediocre production.

Should have been obvious his numbers were going to increase in a big way in his 18YR old season.

 

[Spektre]

It'll probably be a shame if Kyrou has to spend another year in the juniors. I don't see another year there benefiting his game. He'll have to really impress to get a 9 game look but I hope it happens.

It's probably unlikely that he sticks but he's more of what the Blues need.

That's one big perk for late birthday prospects who can make the jump to the AHL in their Draft +2 seasons.

 

[Jordeau]

Really strong game from Kyrou at the summer showcase today. He was probably the best player on the ice (either him or Brannstrom, who also impressed). 2 goals, 1 assist. Looked absolutely electric with the puck. Excellent stickhandling and vision, dangerous almost every time he touched the puck in the o-zone or on the rush. He still needs to work a bit on his positioning and play without the puck in the d-zone.

 

[Zaddy]

Looked great. Blues got another 2nd round steal it seems.

 

[VoidCreature]

Very much impressed with him today. He looks like his game has grown a lot since he played with Zacha. His shot still looks a bit weak, but he reads and anticipates so well, and those hands. Blues fans should be hyped.

 

[AppsSyl]

Kryou has looked good, seems to be on a steady upward trajectory. Nice pick by St. Louis.
