Well when you did some digging Bratt was a pretty clear sleeper, he went point for point with Nylander on their junior team. Bratt was younger too.
But ya give it a chance, have to figure they saw something.

I doubt we get a better review of Hoelscher then what is provided here. Interesting note: "First 37 games of the season: 2 goals and 6 assists. Final 30 games: 8 goals and 12 assists."
Also note he went from 48 in his mid season rankings(worth reading that too) to 17 for his year end.

Yeah, when you look at what Bratt showed before his draft it's pretty inexcusable that he fell past the second round. I get that he was undersized but that's a reason to pass on him in the first round, not the next four.
Hoelscher seems different in that he's showing signs that he could breakout next season. Sounds like he has the tools, and if he gets stronger it could happen. Very boom/bust though, the right kind of gamble to take at this point for sure.

This is where the scouts make their money. If London didn't become sellers then Liam Foudy never gets a shot higher in the lineup and he's highly unlikely to have been a first rounder. Not saying Hoelscher has that potential obviously but that's usually the thought process in the later rounds.
If he builds on his year end finish maybe he is sitting at 40 points after the first 30 games. That would be a nice progression. Especially if he can continue to improve over the 30 games after that.
Feb. 23/18 – OTT (4) – LDN (2) – Ontario Hockey League
Hoelscher gets an assist on the first Ottawa goal after containing and stripping a London player at center ice. Then, scores a beautiful goal the next period after stealing a puck in the London zone and dances around a couple players to score. Overall, both goals start from smart plays by him.

The 5-foot-11, 165-pound centerman from Ontario didn't start his draft year with a lot of hype, but came on strong in the send half after his team - the Ottawa 67s of the Ontario Hockey League - made some trades that opened up a spot in the lineup that allowed him to shine a bit more in a top six role.
"We really liked his hockey sense, skill level and work ethic. He's not a real strong kid at this point. He's real light and could fill out his frame a bit more, but he plays well on both sides of the puck, doesn't cheat and competes hard," Castron explained.
"His numbers might not be jumping off the charts, but he's a good player, a smart player and I think he started to be more confident as he was earning more responsibilities and once your confidence starts growing, you start playing better and better and we happened to catch him on a couple good games and he caught our eye. I think he'll be even better next year and we're looking forward to watching him grow over the next couple years."

I'm excited to see him play top 6 all season, if he can put up a PPG or better I will be elated. Right now I slot him 2nd line but he could bump up.

That would be more like amazing progression. If he can get near a ppg I'd be stoked.

Last year, Helgeson + Tallackson = Hellickson
This year, Hoeffel + Hischier = Hoelscher
We're on to you, Castron.

Great, now I'm going to waste time looking at next year's draft class to figure out who we're picking.

Last time I weighed under 160, I think I was 12.
Luckily, I've been holding about 165-170 for almost 4 years now!
Just hit the protein shakes and eat a few steaks, lift some weights! They got trainers and strength/conditioning coaches to work with him on that!
Couldn't be any skinnier than Tedenby and his phony 175 pounds that was really 155 pounds.
