Great minds think alike . I have Ho-Sang as the 12th forward on my list.Disagree. His entire offensive arsenal is up there with the best in this draft. He plays quite similar to Nylander in that he can at times overhandle the puck.
I think his playmaking is excellent.
I'd probably think long and hard about taking Ho-Sang 12-15th.
I feel Ho-Sang made concerted effort and showed enough progression to the point where I don't think you can call him purely individualistic, sometimes he reverts back to that tendency, but for the most part, he can distribute the puck well. I like his hunger for the puck in the offensive zone, his pace is extremely high, which is a good and bad thing. Sometimes he will force plays that are not there, but the majority of the time, he shows great vision. So many offensive tools in his arsenal, unreal skating ability and edgework.
Very similar player to Nylander/Milano, same knocks/same risk, IMO. I think Ho-Sang is one of the most skilled players in this draft, so to pick him with the 36th pick, its an easy decision for me.
I don't know if i see much pro potential here. Clunky skater with decent hockey IQ. I simply don't see a guy worth a 2nd/3rd round pick, where he is continually ranked. Might have 4th liner potential, but is that the kind of player you really want to expend a high pick on? I would liken him to Archibald, in terms of value. I'd consider him in the 5th round onwards.What are people's opinions on Hunter Smith from Oshawa?
