[Brock]

Around this time of the year, it's always good to take a look at the top overage players available to be signed from around the CHL.

Here's my list from the OHL

But it would definitely be nice to hear about some of the top guys available from the WHL and QMJHL.

...except Dane Fox isn't available as he's already signed.
i wonder why you put him on your list, fully aware of that fact

 

[ThirtyTwo]

Don't worry, Tampa will sign them soon enough

 

[hockeykid87]

Carter Sandlak is also signed by Carolina. Did you even try, dude?

Edit: And that kids, is why you read before jumping to conclusions. Sorry OP!

As a tampa fan I really hope we go for Zach Bell. Since Gudas graduates this season we really lack a bone crushing prospect. He would be a perfect signing.
Anyways I wouldn't mind seeing any off the guys sign with us.

Woah guys, that's not just a top 10, under the name, you have some words. You can read it too. It said that they are already sign. Did you even try too ? I don't think so.

But it would definitely be nice to hear about some of the top guys available from the WHL and QMJHL.

Some 1993's to consider:

1. Spokane RW Mitch Holmberg -- leading WHL scorer with 43+42
2. Everett LW Joshua Winquist -- third in WHL scoring with 30+37
3. Rouyn-Noranda RW Marcus Power -- t-3rd in QMJHL scoring with 21+49; leads in assists
4. Spokane LC Mike Aviani -- t-2nd with 30 WHL goals
5. Val-d'Or RD Randy Gazzola -- 2nd in QMJHL D scoring with 12+44
6. Val-d'Or LC Samuel Henley -- 18+23 in 34 GP; injured shoulder, should be returning soon
7. Drummondville RC Frederick Gaudreau -- t-10th in QMJHL scoring with 27+33
8. Guelph RW Zack Mitchell -- 20+31
9. Saginaw LC Kristoff Kontos -- t-8th with 40 OHL assists
10. Victoriaville RW Jean-Francois Plante -- third with 40 QMJHL goals
11. Rimouski LC Sebastien Sylvestre -- 24+30
12. SSM RW Andrew Fritsch -- 20+27

 

[SuperUnknown]

Is Nathan Pancel an overage FA or is he still available to be drafted this year?

This.

As mentioned in the article, Fox, Sandlak, and Gaudet are all included despite having signed NHL deals because the list is meant to reflect the entire season.

It also mentions them having signed in the article, under the write ups for the players.

Good list.

Off of this list I think Mike Aviani will end up having a career in the NHL, undersized but skilled he plays a super pest role very well, he plays a very similar game to Brad Marchand.

He will get a shot for sure.

 

[Colt 55]

Colin Sullentrop is one of my best friends cousin. Would like to see him make the NHL but it doesn't appear likely

 

[Eye of Ra]

Jesse Forsberg?

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Nice to see Van Stralen getting some love. Kid is a beast.

 

[DKQ]

Fristch is unlikely to get signed because of some legal trouble in the Soo from last year. He hasn't played well enough to overcome an off-ice issue of that magnitude in preventing him from signing

 

[BarDownBobo]

Not sure if Cody Corbett is still draft eligible or not but he's putting up quite a good season with the Oil Kings. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets signed.

 

[QMJHLfollower]

I very like Jimmy Oligny and Frederick Gaudreau from the Q.

Oligny is big, very strong and very mobile. Great skater, very sound defensively and physical. hits hard, can fight. Log big minutes for Rimouski, plays in every situation. Solid shot from the point, more of a shutdown defenseman at the next level, but may play on a 2nd power play unit or something like that.

Gaudreau is a solid all-around center. Decent size, plays a very good two-way game, very solid leader with a great work-ethic.

Yeah, Edmonton LD Cody Corbett is a 1993 and should have been around eight on my list. Prince George LW Todd Fiddler too. Corbett's t-5th in WHL D scoring with 15+27, while Fiddler's t-9th in WHL scoring with 28+34 (26+26 in 31 GP with PG).

Would love the isle to end up with him. I don't see it but I think he will be a solid player.
