Man, there’s a ton of great talent eligible for next year’s draft in the CHL right now. It wouldn’t surprise me if 20 or more first rounders were to come from it, even if that sounds crazy.
WHL:
Zary*
McClennon*
Crnkovic*
Sourdif
Neighbours
Guhle
Jarvis
Reinhardt
Schneider
OHL:
Byfield**
Perfetti**
Drysdale**
Rossi*
Perreault*
Foudy*
Cuylle
Stranges
Sebrango
O’Rourke
Moore
QMJHL:
Lafreniere***
Barron**
Lapierre**
Poirier*
Lawrence
Rochette
Mercer
Bourque
Cormier
*** = likely first overall pick
**high chance of being top-5
*good chance of being top-10
I could seriously see any of these guys going in the first round. Probably missing a bunch, too. And there’s other guys I’d consider serious sleepers. This draft is gonna be incredible in depth and talent with the Euros contributing guys like Lundell, Raymond, Holtz, etc.
