Corson Ceulemans at eliteprospects.com

Another good defenseman coming out of the AJHL. Could he follow Makar, Bernard-Docker and possibly Michael Benning and go in the first round next year?

Top WHL prospect who opted for the college route. Would have been a top 5 pick otherwise

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think this guy is going to be the next high pick out of the AJHL. It'll be hard to be picked as high as Makar, but I don't see why he couldn't challenge Bernard-Docker's draft position. And maybe he can challenge Makar's draft position. How would anyone know for sure at this point?

Elite offensive skill. Looked a little all over the place defensively, but he has good size and was capable at times defensively, so it looks more a matter of reigning in his puck game. Skating looks adequate, but I'm not sure its much better.

Well, get a good idea by watching, lol.

Took a scary tumble into the boards after undressing someone in OT. Looks like it could be a severe arm injury. Terrible for the kid.

 

[Kipper933]

Looked like the best "Pro prospect" to me at the recent WJAC.

So calm with the puck on his stick and makes fantastic plays out of nothing. Mature beyond his years.

He's going to have a very good shot at making Canada's WJC team for next year

A bit of a deep analysis at Ceulemans' game here as well:

MALLORY'S PLAYBOOK: Breaking down Ceulemans' game - FCHockey

Ceulemans, who has committed to the University of Wisconsin for the 2021-22 season, has been a fascinating player to watch. He boasts a large and rangy frame at six-foot-two, 192 pounds and possesses a high-end offensive skillset. His four-way skating is agile and crisp – which when combined with his hard, accurate passing (87% pass completion rate in the last nine games of his DY-1) – allows him to thrive in transition.

Any relation to Karson Kuhlman?

Better chance at Jan Ceulemans (former Belgian Soccer player FIFA100 player)

He's the twice removed nephew of Blake Coleman

That's pretty cool, man

Crazy what the media hides from you

 

[Breakers]

Game was blacked out for me when it shouldn't have been.

 

[Groo]

Would look good in Teal

 

[NHL Dude 120]

I wish he was more of a shutdown role guy, badly needed in Ottawa.

 

[Dominance]

What a draft for defenseman this year will be. Ceulemans is right in that tier with Hughes/Edvinsson/Lambos, just slightly behind Clarke and Power IMO. All have very real top-pairing potential.

He and Zellweger both have something that Clarke doesnt . Ability to possess/transport the puck with elite skating and thats been clearly apparent so far this tournament. Clarke likley one of most polarazing players in the first round. SOme teams will see him as top 10 -just on the world class IQ - and others will be spooked by significant skating deficiencies and see him as 10- 20 range prospect

 

[BKarchitect]

I don’t think he’s a better prospect than Clarke but he could get picked ahead of some defenders who have been ranked ahead of him by most all year. Toolsy, athletic, aggressive modern defender. Would not be shocking to see him called in the first half of the first round - I think he’s a guy who could probably use a couple years in college since it sounds like in the AJHL he’s been a bit inconsistent - but if a team is patient with his development, he definitely looks to have impressive upside. There’s a lot to like in his U18 highlights.

Did anyone else think he looked unimpressive in that game against Sweden?

That was my first time seeing him, and I was trying to figure out what he does well in that game. I think he has done better since, just not a great first impression for me.

It was definitely his worst game of the tournament.

His skating and puck moving is what stood out most.
