No idea who this guy is. His point totals look good but it was high school so not overly impressed. Definitely a wild swing here.

Could you at least try to target some average to above average sized physically aggressive players already? I almost expect a 5'9 player picked in round #7.

He has a September 15 birthday and is thus the youngest player in the draft. People here sometimes have a tendency to think further growth is a given, which it isn’t, but at his age is more possible than with most prospects. Atleast his weight will increase. Why, he could reach 160 lbs!

Good luck to these guys. It is nice for their families to see all the hard work rewarded by getting drafted. Most are long shots but I like to think our scouts are on the ball and see something we don’t. Like maybe Joe’s brother grew 6” by the time he was 20.

Funny enough I've actually seen this guy play live. Probably one of the few cases in recent years for me when it comes to a Leafs draft pick.
His MN high school program was really good this past season

High school hockey in the state is pretty good quality compared to similar school hockey in North America. Some of the programs (relatively speaking) get a fair amount of school investment.
Not that I'm suggesting the kid is a lock to be great, but his numbers are certainly very good

Lets look at IQ and skills. Physicality doesn't drive a prospect
Leafs made solid picks. Also Hirovinen is good in tight areas.

If a few of them at least played the body it would add some variety to the prospect pool.

Especially when you look at the playoff numbers, 6gp, 8g + 13a = 21pts looks like he was rolling into college on a high note outta high school.
Still though 146 lbs? Lol this guy better fly and I mean FLY on his skates at that size

56 years and counting. #FireTheShanaClan!
In fairness Point was a 145 lb 16 year old when he was called up to play for his junior team. When he entered the arena the equipment manager told him this was not the arena for the AAA team. I believe he went on to score the OT winner that night.

The game i was at wasnt terribly memorable, but I recall him being quick and making good passes. But not as if i was just paying attention to him lol
