The only 2 scorers on the team with more points than Kyle, are undrafted, one 20 yo and one 19 yo, IIRC.
But yeah, he`s having a good year, I am also keeping an eye for him
Hunter Drew had two goals and a fight today. Now at 5+5 in nine games.
Sean Garrity
Quack Quack Quack!
He was impressive early on, a bit wreckless but if he could harness it he could be a badass bottom pairing defenseman.

Drew is very intriguing to me. He's averaging over 4 shots per game, and he seems to have a mean streak. Not sure what he'll become, but he has my attention for the time being.
From the little I've seen of him, I see a lot of Shea Theodore. I think Theodore will be a bit better offensively and Mahura a bit better defensively.

I'm not sure I like that comparison. Theodore has a fluidness to his offensive game that I don't see from Mahura, while the latter plays with a fair bit more urgency and edge to his game. I just don't see the similarity.
Mahura is a fine puck mover, don't get me wrong, but I see him providing less value than Theodore on the offensive side while becoming much more useful otherwise.

He has impressed me every time I seen him play... his biggest problem will be hes stuck behind Lindholm fowler Pettersson Larsson(granted Larsson has been playing right side). I think hell be a top 4 dmen… more slighted towards offense but not terrible defensively.
I see a little of theodore stylistically in mahura… but he has a more aggressive game physically/defensively. I guess a left handed Montour would be an alright comparison.
Not related to your post:
Hunter drew is looking like a very nice pick up... I have a feeling he was a guy we wanted in the late rounds and we were probably stoked to snag him.... kinda sounds like a josh manson style player.
Roman Durny is now 92.3% after 10 games in the USHL, leading the league in svs% among goaltenders who's played at least 10 games. Though one guy who's played 9 games and one who's played 8 games are slightly ahead of him.
I liked Durny for Slovakia at the World Juniors last winter. Think he's our top goalie prospect currently, though I haven't seen Dostal play. Maybe Dostal has higher upside, but as Durny is two years older I think he's a "safer pick". It's easy to write him off just because he was a 5th round pick. But considering he was an older player, and because few goalies are picked in the 1st and 2nd round these days, there's no surprise he was available so late in the draft.
As I follow Slovak prospects closely hoping their country will turn things around, I watch nearly all of Slovakias games at the U20 World Juniors every year. Of course, had I known the Ducks would pick I would have payed closer attention to him. I don't remember what his glove hand or rebound control was like, but I do remember him showing a calm demeanour, working with small movements in the crease. Seemingly he is good with angles/positioning which is a great thing. I don't know if he has high upside, but a potential backup to Gibson one day? Yes, defenitely possible.

An undrafted free agent to look at Brett Leason at eliteprospects.com.
Leason has been passed over in two drafts but appears to be having a coming out party with 17 goals and 22 assists in 17 games. He's the early WHL scoring leader and already an astounding 18 points ahead of his closest teammate.
He has a huge frame (6'4 205) and appears to have a pretty good motor, no doubt he's drawing some interest.

For what it's worth, Mahura typically plays on the right side.

Good question. It appears he was always a prolific scorer growing up so could just be a case of having taken extra time to adjust to the junior level.
