@wayupnorth I don’t have enough access to the Quebec league, so that would be unfair to everyone. I have seen all Atlantic kids and most in the US and other parts of Canada. ACC is the only time the birth year plays against each other, province vs province in Atlantic. Ranking is tough based on some are stat watches, some look for skills to transfer to next level and some just repeat what they read elsewhere. Some play is stronger leagues some in weak leagues. It will come down to the team. You have guys “ranked” in third round and go in the first last year. Some ranked in 8th, go in 3rd. Our lists are just lists.
from what I’ve seen on my travels, remember non Que.
Forwards:
LaStarza (que in US)- good size, skates well, good hands. I would like to see in U18 vs 16u to help comparison.
Carruthers- has always been a big kid, skating has come a long way, heavy shot, likes to leave the D zone early.
Savoie- has grown, it’s helped him, great hands and vision, ok skater but makes it work.
Woodworth- I see him like a Brady Burns, skates ok, but can make plays and score for days.
Rozzi (Que in US)- good size, lanky, can score as good as anyone.
Guy (west)- great dynamic skater, great speed, sees passes others don’t, I see as a F similar to Drew Elliot but looks like he’s playing F and D?
Andrews- speed for days, needs to grow game beyond dump and chase.
MacLean- good size, skating is ok, sees the pass, good shot, good on the boards and I like his mean streak.
Arsenault- good size, shoot first, needs to see the ice better and get back quicker. Too much time looking for a turnover.
Canning - Good size, like to shoot, good shot,
Casey- good skater, good size, seems to be around things but not much seems to come from it.
Roy- big kid, ok skater, can use his size more to his advantage. We will see how long it takes to get to the Titan.
Oliver- nice scoring touch, only seems like he wants to score, has good speed but doesn’t use it very often.
Hughes-good size, already over 6 feet, lots of ice time on a weaker team.
Sim- as every knows smaller but it doesn’t hold him back. Gritty, works hard and can score at ease.
Gweon- great speed, he can cover lots of ice quickly, seems to get nocked down lots.
