I like Billy a lot, but there are other good D his age too. He had an off year his draft year, so has some catching up to do.

Maybe start with last year's NHL draft list.
25 OHL Players Selected in 2019 NHL Draft – Ontario Hockey League
Harley
Okhotyuk - import
Kolyachonok - import
Millman
Vukojevic - import
LeGuerrier (2000)
Murray
Hill

Not sure if any late birthdays belong in this conversation, if so add them to the list. Probably remove LeGuerrier since he is a late birthday.

(think) Vukojevic is an Ontario kid with a Slavic last name; and yeah, was considering any 2001 born same age group

I am surprised that Brandt and Allensen have been suspended for 2 and 3 games arising at London.

Do other posters see lots of similarities between Porco's and Pekar's games? What does Porco need to do over the next season to get to where Pekar is?

I used to feel that if the Zamboni gate was open, he'd still be going...! He needs to hide his speed with a change of gears and stop thinking he can turn the D with his speed. He always runs out of room and the play dies.

Barrie wins big in a 5-0 win over Oshawa under newly named intern head coach Todd Miller. Were much better in the D zone and created a ton of offensive chances.
Great to see Brandt Clarke get his first OHL goal! Many more to come

Impressive weekend with 2 wins over a solid Gens team and the wild 8-7 OT win on Bryan Little night. The Hamilton game was way closer than it needed to be but they got the two points. Hopefully the Allensen suspension isn't too long. That wasn't a very smart move by him Saturday night. Cardwell leading the way for the new additions so far. Silovs was rock solid this weekend which is nice to see.
Team seems to be developing chemistry nicely and arguably has more skill now than before. Let's keep the wins coming!

Colts have really turned it around as of late. Was it the coaching ? Is it a matter of these young guys getting a wake up call and playing to their potential. Not sure what the answer is , but, after the last 5 all facets of the game show improvements. They are getting goals collectively and the backstopping by their tandem has significantly improved. No expectations that are unrealistic, however, this team could upset someone in the 1st round imo.

I think it was a combination of coaching and the many new players needed to get comfortable with eachother. As much as guys like Willms, Tucker etc were well liked players, I believe the new acquisitions are more skilled. Simple things like exiting the zone seem better than they have in years. This is really exciting as these are younger players as well and have more room to grow. Definitely agree they can definitely upset a team this year. Should be fun to watch down the stretch. Hopefully they can try and get healthy by playoff time and have a good little run!

Nice to see the Colts turning it around. Gotta believe the kids are enjoying playing and winning.

2 points behind wolves with a game in hand, and 1 point behind the fish heads with 2 games in hand.

Saturdays game should be a good one.

go colts go spank them wolves

The Colts have gone on fire in the past few weeks, good to see. Brandt Clarke looks like the real deal and you guys are looking like one of the teams to beat next year.

How does Evan Vierling look? To me, he is a huge sleeper in this year's draft.

Vierling has been great for the Colts. With the second half he has put up with the Colts it wouldn't surprise me to see him drafted. Still needs to get stronger, a little faster and could use a little work in his own end, but overall very good. Quite happy with his play. Has been a great fit with Foerster.

Wow, what a huge OT win by the Colts last night. Statistically they were outplayed in almost every category, however, somehow Silovs once again came up big stopping 46/51. Really like how this team has come together after trade deadline and the replacement of the coach. Players like Tabak and Nelson are adding the secondary scoring this team lacked and were at the forefront of last nights win. A very young team that will possibly surprise a few in the playoffs. Sudbury fans have to be concerned as they are now tied and could easily trade places over the weekend. Great effort boys and keep it going.

Rolling is right. The boys have to remember the game starts with 20 min to play in the first. opposing teams seem to always get a goal in the first minute. Great effort to come back though. Lets hopethey can get an good start on Missi today, and the Wolves will be in for a game against 67s. Go Colts Go from PEI
