2020 OHL draft

[Just admiring]

So far the goalie pool isn't as strong this year as to others. Strong goalies seen so far were the nats one tender, from gthl. KJG has the top goalie dou in the province and seen them both play and I would probably agree. Admirals has a good tender as well. Still trying to watch more.

KJG has top goalie in the Province? Not to be negative but I wouldn't think they had the top goalie in the Greater Kingston Area.

I've seen both the goalies play in the titans and london tournament. I agree, definetly best goalie tandom. They are both solid. Not saying one is the tops but they are both are in the top 5 in the province. That is a nice feature to have on a team. I've never seen there league games , just to far away from them

KJG have an ok tandem. I have seen both play plenty but I wouldn't put them in the category of elite or top 5 in Ontairo. There are a few kids up North in the GTHL and HEO that in my opinion are better all rounded goaltenders. There is a particular goalie I've been watching that could be one of the top 6 goalies taken and isn't playing in the AAA loop.

I'm not sure if it's just me but I find lavoie quite selfish as a player and I have a hard time looking over that threw his talent

As it stands looking at the stats- this years goalie crop is nowhere close to the last years group. Anyone know who the top goalies are for this draft?

KJG tandom are good. Unfortunate part is there on a terrible team so they will never get the recognition. If you look at any goalie list or even the draft last year, goalies from top teams who see little shots get most recognition.QRD, JRC, etc.. goalies seem to be ranked at the top and are just ok. I've seen goalies from basement teams lose by 4 or more goals but still look good

This logic is questionable at best.

Neither of the Don Mills goalies were drafted, naturally pardoning Roy. Ben Gaudreau played in NOHA.

Drobac played in the OMHAs SCTA for the 'top team' in Halton but did not win OMHAs nor came close to winning OHL Cup.

Wu played for the Rebels in the GTHL, and were a darkhorse team that managed to pull an upset on the Marlies, only to lose to the Red Wings and Josh Rozenswieg.

What scouts are mindful of, is the top teams that are top teams because of talent, as opposed to top teams that are top teams because of Goaltending. If Drobac did not play for that Halton Hurricanes team, they would not have been a top team. If instead he played for Don Mills, he likely would not have been drafted.'

Kingston, also... is not a terrible team.

any high end guys who could help North Bay out?
there games have been miserable to watch this year...

his part of the game.

Some very interesting games to watch at the silverstick today. Wakely from Quinte had a great game against JRC, he isn’t afraid to mix it up and put the nail in the coffin with 2 points in a very fast paced skilled game. This kid has all the tools. But one of the more entertaining games for me was Marlies against the underdog Oshawa. With the game changing so much where players no longer Finnish checks I loved watching Poole. He won majority of face offs, was a pretty good playmaker setting up the teams only goal but absolutely dominated on his shifts with physicality with at least four Marlies looking like they were run over by a truck. Both of these players have a bit of a mean streak with some top talent skills- nice to see this part of the game isn’t being lost by these two.

been saying it all year. Nathan Poole is going to be Cole Cassels 2.0. Skating will keep him out of the first round but in a year where the top end Canadian talent just isn’t there like most years, I’d be fine taking him late first or early 2nd. He does everything right

Silver Stick quarter finals are set

When was the last time a GTHL team didn’t even make the semi-finals? Honeybaked.....what a team! All-Detroit final was pretty wild, as Honeybaked and Compuware seem to be the class of the ‘04’s. Kudos to Quinte, who gave Honeybaked a serious go in the semi’s.

 

[DrummondIsGod]

Anyone notice Namestnikov from Honeybaked? Has been putting up great numbers in tourneys this year. Brother played in the O.

Yeah, he and Nazar were dynamite together.

I think everyone noticed Namestnikov. Him and Nazar must have had 10 short handed goals.

Not to take credit from Quinte, but Votary is top notch, and HoneyBaked showed they can change gears vs Compuware.
Would have liked to see the 04s playing U16 Compuware with this team. A player like Gauthier could have been the difference maker.

Compuware sent the eligible 03s playing U16 to the U15 team last year and it made the world of difference vs Don Mills.

Good player all around. On 3 occasions at the tournament however I saw him shoot on a 2 on 1 or 2 on 0, when he had a clear goal if he’d simply pass it over.

ban him from the draft entirely

 

[All For Youth Hockey]

Went to watch the Top Prospect game, the best player was Lavoie... He generated so much offense on the ice... Went to see him again last night, he scored 4 goals and 2 assists... this kid will definitely be picked up in the first round and probably in the top 5 picks.

 

[buzzer beater]

Calm down your horses lol he’s a bubble first-second at best. Too many top players ahead of him.

Mentioning is skating is misleading to those who have never seen him play.

Elaborate. What do you mean?
