Sprong impressed me more and more everytime I see him play. He's adjusted much quicker than I thought he would , being an Espoir player last season. You'd never know he's a rookie by the way he plays and has been Charlottetown's best player on several occasions. He's very smart and has amazing vision. He plays the perimeter and distributes the puck well. Good hands, fast release and very accurate with his shot and crisp passes. He's an offensive guru but has been better than expected in all three zones. He hasn't been a liability and is good without the puck. Very excited to watch him grow as a player. He'll be a 100+ point player at 19 & 20 (presuming he's still in the league). Islanders had a great draft getting both him and Goulet. They were very lucky he was still on the board at #13. He's making a good case to be a top-60 , if not , top-30 pick in the NHL draft.
Personally, im not ready to say that this early, theres still a lot of hockey to play until 2015 draft. But he will be a 1rst round for sure. Id put money on that
2nd in the COUNTRY 1997 born players in points...behind only McDavid...he's going TOP 10
If the only arguments u got for him going top 10 is is stats than.... But hes a really great player cant wait to see how he will develop
Ive coached him, I know what he brings to the table, Ive seen 6 of his games this year, He;s going top 10
Ive seen him play a lot too. I know hes a really gifted player, but how many 97 players have you seen play except Sprong ? You cannot really make a clear opinion when you dont know who are the other player coming up.
Im not saying that hes not gonna go in the TOP 10, he got the upside for that, but i just think its a little bit soon to call itt
Could the same issue that kept him from being a top pick in the Q, also affect is NHL draft rank?

What issue was that?
There was NO issue, AT ALL
ppl just like to talk without knowing anything.
Do you know Daniel?
Do you know his family?
Stop believing everything you read on the internet.
Geez was just asking the poster to see what his answer would be.
I don't know him but know people who do know him and his family and they've said nothing but good things about them. From everything I have been told he is a good kid and they can't say enough good things about him.

wasnt twords you.... was for the other guy who claimed he went late in the Q for certain reasons
If there's no issues, can you explain me why he was drafted so late in the first round?
I don't know him personally nor his family, and I'm not saying that he has any kind of problems.
But, honestly, there was probably something teams didn't like for him to be drafted 13th.
I'm just wondering if the same thing could happen in a NHL draft.
Talent-wise, was he realy the 13th best player?
I know the family, and having coached him, I certainly know him, theirs no reason for his slipping that low.
Teams did not like the fact that he did not play Midget AAA.

I had him at 2.
Nic Roy never impressed me.
Nothing is safe.
