Can anyone explain why Cale Makar was an 8 th round pick or why the top overall picks from the 2013 and 2014 bantam draft were not even invited out to team Canada . These guys all make mistakes and don't know everything. These list are funny!! Do you think each WHL team actually shares who they like ? Does GM tell Ford their business! Western Elite uses dad's for scouts so how objected is that list? lolDid anyone see that DraftGeek had Cole Sillinger outside of their updated top 10?
Welcome to DraftGeek
Can anyone explain ............................................
This sounds like such a great event. Unfortunately some of the best US born players won't be there. This event conflicts with the Pacific District Select Camp (which selects players to participate in the USA Hockey Development Camp). I know players (on the prospect list) who were invited but had to turn it down.
If you attend the local camp they (USA Hockey) directly to Colorado. ( Bypass San Jose) This only effects maybe 6 or 7 kids from the West coast. ( LA Kings) They got a pass last year without attending anything. Does it make other mad, that some players get treated differently ( yeap) but that is the way life is, its not fair,
Apparently, I didn't explain very well.
DraftGeek had Sillinger as a top ranked player in previous rankings, so I was wondering if anyone here knew why he had dropped out of the top 10. Ex. Some sort of on ice performance issue.
I was under the impression Sillinger was a top 3-5 player for this draft, so for me to see him fallen so far down, I didn't understand.
I know HPL Alliance has pretty much all the top end BC players and some Manitoba RHA kids. This is a very good tournament for US college exposure.
Team Alberta will be very good with these players. The Coaching group did a good job.
As for next week at JRT. Calgary Bisons will be without Grubbe for a few games, against the Royals over the past weekend 16 mins of PIM, plus ejection, vs Royals in a 0-6 loss.
Since they will play OHA Edmonton and Delta Green on day one, This team may be out very quickly.
He needs to control his temper, He was tossed out at Rocky Mtn in front of many scouts, just due to frustration. Other teams know that its easy to get under his skin and they already do this. He has very good hockey skills and size, but if he can not control his temper, then no amount of talent will fix this.
Hope he turns it around. Sitting in the stands at this age does not help anyone.
Did he get a few games or is he also missing due to PIM, I know the ambhl disallows players for games if the PIM are too high.

Heard Savoie at NAX was really good and a dman from LA jrs was excellent.
I totally agree! Hence the comment above about NAX no longer being a one line team. Jack Parker has really turned on the top gear since the xmas break. I have watched all NAX games and he has become a very crucial player lately. Nicki Degraves as well, his hands have always been sick! He has also found his place in the ranks as well. Cale Ashcroft is an 04 d man, short but built like a brick shit house. He has really improve this season as well and has the hockey smarts to boot. Zack Ostapchuk is a thrill to watch as well. He can move up the ice controlling the puck at the same time as holding a very physical presence. Lucas Ciona was a steam train this past weekend. In the RHA/NAX game, he pummeled Lambos and Alare constantly, effectively throwing them off their game.I was at the final of the John Reid the other day and it was a great game! Savoie again was excellent, but I was also surprised by NAX third line with DeGraves and Parker. DeGraves had a goal off a beautiful pass from Savoie and also pulled off some incredible moves on the LA defencemen, with one leading to Parkers goal. Parker seems to be a hard-nosed winger who also has some puck skill. Was great to see as now that coaching staff is putting more faith into that third line, and they didn't stop rolling until a few minutes left in the third!

see what happens when I copy and paste without checking.Thornton is a D
Maybe the goalies and player's didn't show well at the beginning of the year when they were making the teams as well as the fact that most Prep spot's are promised to players before the season starts and money paid by the parents with the guaranteed spot on the Prep team for their kid. Or maybe the 4 kids on the AA team are still good enough for scouts to be interested but the ND Prep team players are even better still and will go in the earlier rounds of the draft? Academy's scout and recruit all year before the next season. Kids all reach their peaks at different times so pretty hard to anticipate who's going to show a huge improvement the next year especially at these ages.Hearing from my buddies friend kid that ND has 4 players on their AA Bantam team that scouts are talking to, including both of the goalies. My question is why wouldn't they be on the AAA team?
