Prospect Info: MacKenzie Entwistle, RW, OHL Hamilton Bulldogs

[No Fun Shogun]

Figured that Entwistle deserved a topic of his own (watch him get traded now), as he appeared to be the main piece we got from a potentially longterm prognosis. Listed as a right winger with some center experience, but obviously won't claim any real knowledge about what position he prefers or his style of play.

Early third rounder from 2017 slid due to a bout of mono from all things considered, so hopefully he blossoms into something decent for us. Still only 18 (for two more days).

Very Middle-Earthy sounding surname, though.

Welcome to Chicago, Ant Whistle.

Will be ready to help jump-start Toews in 3-4 years.

Entwhistle has size and is good in the corners and along the boards and can score goals. Sure he still needs some improvements and that will come in Rockford. He could very well be ready to jump to the Hawks in another year. He is a legit power forward and will only get better and will fill out a fair bit more. He is 6' 3" I believe.

No matter how you look at him, he is an asset. If his game takes off this year, which by the sounds of it is very possible, it gives Stan another chip in his pocket. Its worth the gamble.

A goal he scored this past OHL playoffs. Apparently this kid has only been getting 3rd line mins with no PP time on Hamilton, who were OHL champs. Most expect him to be their 2# maybe #1 C this year and you will see his offensive game take off. Reading up on him he kind of sounds like Mark Stone when he was a kid. Not thought of highly offensively, but a good young PF with a great all around game and the heart to go with it. Sounds like a sure fire NHLer in at least a bottom 6 role.

Has played in the OHL prospects game and was one of the best out on the ice, played for Canada at the U18s and lead the team in scoring. This add could be very interesting moving forward.

For anyone following Entwistle, Hamilton traded him to the Guelph Storm as the Bulldogs are currently rebuilding after last season's championship.

 

[Rick C137]

Good to see him moved to a playoff team.

Poor kid has to play with Merkley.

Oh well, he'll be in Rockford next season.

There has been several trades in last week or so. Teams are tanking like you and @Rooh.
