Prospect Info: #40 Dylan James, 2022 Draft

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Dylan James is average skater?

Great to hear, so was Brayden Point.

There's room for development, and then he could reach a new level.

Good straight line speed.
Average agility.
Below average balance.

There's room for improvement for sure.

I think there's a good chance Brennan Ali ends up the better player.

Guy who is already physically ready, and not much room for development?

2nd worst rated hands in the draft. Brennan Ali needs to work on that before anything else.

I wonder if they considered trading up for Cam Lund, I could see that being someone they would have been super high on.

Curious to see how these 3 USHL kids do in the NCAA next year that went in round 2 (Lund, James, Greene)

2nd worst rated hands in the draft. Brennan Ali needs to work on that before anything else.

Anyone watched much of him? Scoresheet wise seems to be having a pretty typical freshman year.

Anyone have any update on him ?

College season has been done for awhile. He was coming on stronger over the back half of the season and had a few nice individual goals. His season was just ok overall, but he improved as it went on and next year should be a good one for him and for us to see what we have in him.
