It seems we have great taste in scouting.
I'll be heading to Erie to scout their game against the Knights on Saturday, as well as Sarnia to check out their game against the Spitfires on Sunday.
Will be posting my findings. Would love to exchange viewpoints.

Was ranked 17th in DraftBuzz Hockey's November early 2017 NHL Draft ranking, and is pushing top ten for the post season update.
It's exciting to think of what Tippett could become over the next year, with NHL grade speed and goal scoring that will only get better.

I've had the chance to watch him play a couple times, and he's been absolutely amazing for the Steelheads. His stats aren't overly impressive, but his playmaking abilities are just so smooth. Think he's destined to go somewhere early in the first round.

2nd most impressive '99 in the OHL this year, as I wrote about here.

For the 2017 draft, I'd have him 2nd behind Gabriel Vilardi right now, but they're extremely close. Could be a major toss up.
The Steelheads will be a very exciting team to watch next year with all the offensive weapons they'll have at their disposal.

Tippett's been impressive this year, although he's had injury problems. He was also great at U17 - I thought he was the best forward there.
I think he'll have a big draft season next year.

Great shot, great speed, aggressive on the forechech, not afraid to go to the dirty areas. I came away impressed when watching him and was shocked to see he was a first year player. He obviously went 4th overall in the priority selection for a reason.

Bad news for Steelheads is - hopefully - good news for U18.
This past season was probably a bit trying for Owen re playing time and injuries, but I was just so impressed with him.
imo he was the best Cdn at U17 this year...I'd also say best player at the tourney, but maybe i'm being a homer.
Hopefully he makes Canada's IIHF U18 team.
He's a fantastic skater, with an elite shot, and he's really smart on top of that. I think he's going to have a fantastic draft year

I can't see why not. Skating and shot are top notch. Just didn't get enough playing time this season to really excel.

He doesn't really remind me of either but I've only been to games he played in the U17 last fall. He drove the net with great enthusiasm and brought a physical element to boot.
I don't think he has their talent level but plays harder than either of them.
The goal vs. Hamilton this year was crazy, almost on the goal line, falling and still has the ability to roof it. I may have a biased opinion but with a good year he could be a top 10 pick in my books.

The consensus seem to have Tippett ranked 4th just behind the trio of Patrick-Liljegren-Vilardi at the moment. Sounds good to me, although I might like Comtois just a smidge better right now. I can easily see Tippett having an explosive season this year though. I see some Taylor Hall in his game.
After falling to start the year due to a subpar Hlinka and slower start to the year. I wonder if he is starting to rise up again. He has a goal in 5 straight games (only 10 minutes in to the first of the 5th game) and has two goals in 3 of those games. I love the kids speed, size and shot combo. I wonder about his IQ at times. Right now though, I still think he's the 2nd best NHL draft prospect in the OHL.
Edit: Has scored again, making it 4 2 goals games in his last 5 and also added an assist. Starting to break out. Obviously helped by the return of Bastian and M. McLeod, but he probably has the highest upside on this team outside of possibly Hague.
