Top 10 Most Impressive Rookies (2000's) in 2016/17

[OSA]

As a group, Flint gets my vote for best rookies. 4 guys taking regular shifts in the playoffs and being quite effective doing it. Very impressed.

4 16yo (true?) rookies. If you wanna get technical, they're actually playing quite a few more. Durham, Phibbs, Steinocher when he plays, Garrett Forrest, who is 19 and had been splitting goalie duties, Gordeev is maybe still a rookie technically. Yes, I realize that's a stretch but still an impressive group either way.

Agree, and thought about including him as an HM, but decided against it due to the sample size.

I've actually seen him play twice this year and have been really impressed with his athleticism. Man, he moves well in the crease.

Kooy actually only started 8 games, made relief appearances in 3 games, leading 2 come back wins against Owen Sound (to break their 15 game win streak) and against Sudbury
