C Peter Reynolds - Chilliwack Chiefs, BCHL (2021 undrafted)

[BKarchitect]

Plenty of talk about Reynolds in the 2021 NHL Draft thread and 2019 QMJHL Draft thread but figured he deserves his own thread now that he's headed from Shattuck's to Chilliwack and should get some more exposure.

Speedy center with great playmaking, put up some terrific stats while with SSM and was arguably one of the top 2-3 Q prospects for the recent draft with Joshua Roy and Justin Robidas. Sounds like St. John's would have taken him #1 if he had committed (correct me if I'm wrong here). They ended up taking a flyer in the second round but as things stands, it looks to be Chilliwack --> Boston College for Reynolds.

His progress will be interesting to watch vis-a-vis another super dynamic Atlantic Canadian pivot who ended up out west in the BCHL, Alex Newhook. Newhook has played two years for Victoria and is now off to Boston College. Seems like Reynolds will be spending two years in Chilliwack before making the same journey. Reynolds is basically exactly two years behind Newhook in age and progress and around the same size although not as filled out.

I think TPE has him as a top 10 prospect for the 2021 draft, or at least very highly rated.

Great stats. Should be one to keep an eye on for sure.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

He'll be at the Sea Dogs camp in a fun little turn of events. Still maintains his NCAA eligibility throughout camp, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when that's over.

Peter Reynolds??.. Sounds like an actor name or a doctor or something

 

[Newfoundland]

Next newhook

This is really exciting, I can't wait to see what he can in the Q!

What a wild class for the Q

What a wild class for the Q

One year out, you have Reynolds, Belliveau, L’Heureux, Bolduc, Roy, Bourgault, Dean, Malatesta, Robidas as potential first-round picks. Maybe I missed a couple, and several of those listed have legitimate shots at being top-10 picks. Should be a strong class.

Saint John is also rumored to add Cam MacDonald.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Saint John hit big with MacDonald and Reynolds
2 goals 2 assists in the pre season for Reynolds so far.

Wasn’t a hit for Reynolds. He was always coming this year.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Just scored his first Q goal, congrats.

Sucks that SeaDogs are still bad, thou they have 5 top young prospects there for this season
Poirier, Villeneuve, Burns, MacDonald and Reynolds.

So not sure what's going on, terrible coaching, goaltending???

Here is my scouting notes on his performance on October 9th 2020 for anyone interested. I take a closer look at his good and worst moments.

What is the draft projection? 3rd round?

He reminds me of TJ. I like the back checking effort. Small but has very good skating burst/change of direction and skilled

 

[Kevin Musto]

We've gone through 6 rounds and Reynolds still hasn't been drafted...

Sacrilegious.

 

[MMC]

Undrafted sadly

 

[Kevin Musto]

A 1st round talent goes undrafted. Unreal.

 

[Number 57]

How?

 

[rocketdan9]

How?

Its crazy... not even 7th round

Bruins should have taken him

 

[BigRangy]

The Flames would have definitely had good eyes on him with two of their prospects also being on St. John this year. Definitely a little odd that he wasn’t drafted.

 

[sigx15]

I’m shocked he wasn’t drafted. Is there something character-wise people haven’t talked about? Is there something hockey sense/defensive liability issue there no one is talking about?

 

[MBH]

I had him at 79.
Would have taken him over Mazur, Plandowski or Zito.
