Really good hands indeed, one of the quickest I've seen so far from this year's draft class. Second best point getter on his team, 11-17-28 in 36 games. 2-10-12 in the last 6. Has gotten more opportunities lately I suppose?

 

[beast mode]

He has 3 goals 12 assists in last 15 games. Plays the wing with Goyette and they are now the dynamic duo for the Sudbury Wolves. Impressive chemistry going on there.

The draft lists look terrible because of the OHL not playing for a year. He started on a checking role with Sudbury but now on the first line he showcases his skills. I love his compete level. No way he’s 200th in NA.

Delic played a strong game tonight against Barrie. 1 goal on a rebound and two helpers tonight. He has grit and plays hard. Definitely a riser for the draft.

Looked very good on the PP tonight, a lot of great battling, playmaking and passing. Mishandles the puck much less than his linemate Goyette.

 

[buzzer beater]

Projects as a bottom 6 winger . He grinds but doesn’t have the playmaking skills and speed Goyette has. When he keeps a simple game he’s efficient. He racks points since playing with Goyette which is good.

 

[tunnelvision]

Guess I'm a little higher of his offensive upside. Certainly doesn't have the speed and size of Goyette but his hands and passing skills are at least as good as Goyette's.

2 assists on the night.

apparently chicago is looking to draft him and may reach

Undrafted.

Strong start to the season though. 6 points in 2 games.

Believe he only has 5 points through two but strong start regardless! I seem to be higher on this kid than most (including NHL teams) and really think he should have been drafted last year.

Obviously playing with Goyette/Konyen will help his point totals but the games I've watched he's the straw that stirs the drink on that line. Always buzzing around hounding pucks and pressuring defenseman and I think his hands, vision and playmaking skills are being severely underrated. If that line continues to click he'll put up a lot of points this year as a primary contributor, not just a passenger to Goyette.

Delic is 100% the most important player on that line, he'll skate through a wall at 100mph to make a play. I still can't believe he got passed up considering some of the players who were drafted. Going to make a lot of teams regret not taking him in the 7th last year I think.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Agreed - crazy to think no one took a 7th round flyer on this kid.

 

[Hallzy]

Mind blown he wasn't drafted, I love watching this kid play

 

[NorthernBridge7]

I hear people talk a lot about looking for "compete" when scouting. This guy has got this in spades - he never takes a shift or game off. He plays with Goyette, but he surely is no passenger!

 

[izzy]

Don’t get it at all. I thought at worst Chicago would go with one of their 6ths or 7th rounder.
