My preseason ranking of the OHL'ers (who played in the league in 2017) for the 2018 NHL Draft.
Heading into the season, I think the most noticeable thing about this year's OHL crop is the lack of a true top player (or players) on this current list. I honestly believe that a case can be made for any of the top 5/6 guys on my list currently as the #1. Because of that, it should come as no surprise that on early lists from scouting agencies, the OHL presence (in terms of current players) inside the top 10 is lacking. Of course, Andrei Svechnikov will probably cure that as a potential first overall pick, but it's interesting none the less. Which of these guys, if any, will really step up as potential top 10 picks?
Here's the list. Check the link for full write ups and HM's.
1. Akil Thomas
2. Ryan Merkley
3. Ryan McLeod
4. Ty Dellandrea
5. Evan Bouchard
6. Allan McShane
7. Barrett Hayton
8. Giovanni Vallati
9. Kevin Bahl
10. Dennis Busby
11. Owen Lalonde
12. Kirill Nizhnikov
13. Jacob Ingham
14. Serron Noel
15. Connor Roberts
16. David Levin
17. Matthew Struthers
18. Nathan Dunkley
19. Liam Foudy
20. Tyler Tucker
21. Kody Clark
22. Carter Robertson
23. Adam McMaster
24. Riley Damiani
25. Hunter Holmes
26. Declan Chisholm
27. Pavel Gogolev
28. Aidan Dudas
29. Max Grondin
30. Semyon Der-Arguchintsev
