Been really good so far this season. Just another NHL prospect out of the London Knights factory.

Currently has 5 Goals and 7 Points in 5 games. Just coming off a weekend in which he scored 2 Goals in a Friday game and 3 goals on Saturday.

Looks like a 2nd or 3rd rounder and a solid power forward with good hands

Sens with three 2nds wonder if it happens. Whats his game like? I havent seen him.

Another 1st round Sens pick incoming.

So this kid cooled off lol.

His usage certainly changed. First few games he was getting top 6 minutes, but then Stranges returned from injury and Gazizov finally got his visa approved.

He's on the fourth line these days, but still plays netfront on the 1st powerplay unit. His skating is a little rough, but he's got soft hands and a wicked shot. I'd put his absolute ceiling as a 30-20 player in the NHL and his floor as Brett Ritchie.

Why hasn't he played in over a month?

Ice Cold.
Over half of his production came from the first 12 games of the season.

for a 4th rounder? ..... pretty low value

this kid has tons of potential, Windsor stole a good one from London

Agreed. I’m not surprised he was traded to Windsor, it’s where his dad coached in the past and I believe his family lives in Windsor - made too much sense and there were rumours he wasn’t happy with his role in London this year but it is definitely less of a return than I was expecting.

Mind changing the title? Appreciate it in advance George.

I hope he flourishes in Windsor. He's got great hands in front of the net and if he works on his skating he could certainly become a solid OHL player.
