Really like this pick.

Here's what we wrote about him:
McKeen's 2022 NHL Draft Guide - O’Neill is a pesky, goal scoring winger with a commitment to play at UMass. It is likely, however, that he plays in the USHL next year (Tri-City holds his rights), before joining the Minutemen. A Maryland native, O’Neill plays an up-tempo, high-energy game in the offensive end as he looks to use his size and speed combination to force turnovers, secure pucks, crash the net, and generally be a pain in the arse to play against. O’Neill can struggle to maintain possession at full speed when he leads the charge, with his application of skill and problem solving being more noticeable when he’s trying to escape traffic along the wall or work his way into the middle. With some size, potential to develop into a high-level skater, and traits that could make him a solid complementary goal scorer, it is very conceivable that an NHL team could call O’Neill’s name this July. It would be the second consecutive year that Mount St. Charles would have an NHL draft pick after Owen McLaughlin and Nate Benoit were taken in the seventh round and sixth round, respectively, last year. - BO
