How about Tbone Codd?I think the best name drafted today was when Oshawa drafted Skate Skalde.

Knights get a grade of B from meany thoughts? who did well/poorly? points of interest. Lets discuss!
Question, I noticed that like 6 of the top 10 are from Don Mills Flyers. How is that possible? Good recruitment? Or did everyone good decide to join them? Or just a generational year?
With the exception of Roman Schmidt (#36), all of the high end players on Don Mills were recruited from outside of the GTHL:
#1 Shane Wright is from Burlington
#2 Brennan Othmann is from Pickering
#4 Brandt Clarke is from Ottawa
#9 Liam Arbsby is from Ajax
#27 Francesco Arcuri is from Kleinburg
#38 Paul Christopoulos is from Richmond Hill
#50 Alex Christopoulos is from Richmond Hill
#97 Payton Robinson is from Burlington
sorry but Roman Scmidt played in the HEO area till minor Bantam moved to Rebels minor midget because he could play up a year. Switched to Don Mills at minor midget.
In peewee the best three teams in Ontario were Don Mills, Ottawa Valley Titans, Ottawa Senators. Please look at the top rounds of the draft and you will see most players came from those 3 teams.
Don Mills recruited very well.

who are the 5 best players not picked in today ohl draft?
You mean Davis Codd? Anyone can chose a nickname.How about Tbone Codd?
The entire team has spent the last 3 years together (minimum), save the aforementioned Roman Schmidt, and Francesco Accuri. Both had joined the team this year. Both Goaltenders also joined this year.Question, I noticed that like 6 of the top 10 are from Don Mills Flyers. How is that possible? Good recruitment? Or did everyone good decide to join them?

Can these players be invited to camp? Or signed as free agents?
Without having seen a huge number of players that weren't drafted. There are also a number of players I have seen that I didn't get a chance to fully profile. Of my 65 (forward) profiles completed, 4 of them went undrafted.
C Nick Mazza, Chatham-Kent Cyclones
W Joshua Cini, Mississauga Rebels
W Dylan Richardson, Guelph Jr Gryphons
W Dominic Cassillo, Buffalo Regals (SCTA)
Other notable forwards whom I didn't rank (reasons that I knew they wouldn't get drafted).
Gabriel Piccolo - Windsor Zone
Henry Turner - Guelph Gryphons
J. McDonald - Buffalo Regals
Matt Dimaline - Cambridge Hawks
Tarabh Nolan - Toronto Nats
Spence Marler - Hamilton Huskies
4/34 Fully profiled Defenders not drafted.
Jonah Copre - Chicago Misson
Therien Theising - Chicago Misson
Ethan Broderick - Guelph Gryphons
Callahan Reesor - Brantford 99ers
Notable Defense whom I did not rank.
Dom Derenda - Buffalo Regals
David Palmer - Hamilton Bulldogs
Angelo Ducsio - Kitchener Jr. Rangers
Goalie Sam Moncada was surprisingly not drafted. His talent in goal, is top tier. He stole the GTHL prospects game from Shane Wright & Co. Its evident that his small frame (a couple listings between 5'7-5'9... generously) were a good reason he remains undrafted. Unless there is a college commitment no body is aware of I suppose.
Kitchener's draft in my Opinion is sneaky good.
Kitchener could have a strong 1/2 punch up the middle with a good finisher in McIntosh. Wu could be a potentially strong starter while Roman Schmidt (if he comes) and Joseph Blackley could give them the offensive firepower from the back end.
A player must pass through 2 drafts to be signed directly by an OHL team.Can these players be invited to camp? Or signed as free agents?
Or Red Savage or Tbonne CoddI think the best name drafted today was when Oshawa drafted Skate Skalde.
You and I, we can run together on the unpopular opinions. I dont agree with Arnsby, I felt he's drafted where he should be, but feel free to tell me why you think he wasn't.What players shouldn’t have got drafted? Or what players were taken too high? I think Arnsby was taken too early. Sorry.
You are 100 percent correct. I had the pleasure of coaching against all 3 over my years coaching this age group. The results weren't great lolsorry but please add Roman Schmidt to that list he played in the HEO area till Minor Bantam moved to Rebels minor midget because he could play up a year. Switched to Don Mills at minor midget.

Just wondering if you have seen Wu in net and what your opinion would be of his skill level. Not a huge goalie when compared to some.You and I, we can run together on the unpopular opinions. I dont agree with Arnsby, I felt he's drafted where he should be, but feel free to tell me why you think he wasn't.
My unpopular opinions:
- Clarke is highly skilled. I question loyalties. He a team player or a me player?
- Del Mastro should have been lower, while Mallioux should have been higher. Mailloux rivals Clarkes skill set. His Hockey IQ doesn't compare though. His defensive game lacks because of this. You can teach defense. You cant teach skill. Where Mallioux lacks, Del Mastro excels.
- The past history of Goalies in the first round is not good. Doesn't matter what draft, you dont take a goalie first round unless he's a surefire. Gaudreau is good... but is he 7th overall good? The second goalie to go, was Roy Pejcinovski at dedicated 74. Homer Gibson soon after. Drobac, Wu, and Rosenzweig were 6t rounders. Moncada undrafted <--------------------!!!!!!!!
- Owen Sound taking Deni Goure at 10 was a reach imo. Kaleb Lawrence was a steal though so it balances.
Just my opinions, as I've said. Feel free to disagree with me. I welcome other opinions.
2019 OHL Priority Goalie Draft vs Website Rankings
*HM = Honourable Mention
*The Scout.ca = only ranked 10 goalies, but had 30 HM's...... interesting no one drafted Thomas Heaney or Jacob Osborne
*disregard the 2nd Osborne, Jacob
