(F) Easton Walos - Mount St. Charles Acad 15U AAA / NEPACK 15U - 23/24 (2027 NHL Draft Eligible)

[WayneGretzky]

I’ve never made a player page before, but I’m surprised this kid doesn’t have one yet.

Perhaps the best 2008 born player in the USA, and he’s a late birthdate making him 2027 eligible. Was the best player on the ice at the USA-S15 camp that featured the top 2026 eligible Americans in Hurlbert/Berchild/Garden etc…His best attribute is his shooting ability, kid can really rip the puck, and deceive defenders well for someone his age. Excited to follow his progression!

@sigx15 usually know about the Mt. St. players.

What say you?

The kid definitely has talent. That whole Mount program is loaded at the 14 and 15 level.

I really like Jamie Glance's game at the 15 level but Walos is a great goal scorer too.

Sorry, I totally missed this. He reminds me a bit of JJ Monteiro. He's not a bad skater but not a great skater either, bigger kid. Can really rip it though, has decent hands

I'm totally with @clevelandcane on Glance. He's not Hagens level but he's really good. Great hands, good vision, nice shot, really knows how to use space and his body for positioning. Good edgework but not a burner. Could definitely see him on the NTDP next year

I hope he'll be on the NTDP team. Whenever I see a kid in u14/15 in person and he makes it to that level... it's that much more fun.

Makes sense, follows JJ Monteiro up there. There’s a bit of a MSC to Salmon Arm pipeline

It is pretty interesting that he is going to play in the BCHL next season. I expected him to be part of the NTDP squad.

We often talk about the BCHL vs the CHL or the USHL vs the OHL but we now have to include the BCHL vs the USHL into the mix.....he would have been a high USHL futures draft pick.

The trend Ive noticed is some younger players preferring to go to the BCHL as they can get more guaranteed playing time and special teams there than they would in the USHL. Also he may have not been offered a tender spot in the USHL so he would be awaiting who chooses him vs guaranteeing who he'll play for
