Austin Keating is a guy who got passed up on 2 of his drafts so far. Is dominating the OHL this year with 1.44 ppg atm. Thats better than Josh Leivos 1.15 ppg on his senior year. I think this kid would be worthy of a pick. I would spend a 3rd-7th rounder on him and play him on the Marlies next season
He's benefitting from riding shotgun with Felhaber. He's really not that good.
He went nearly a PPG in his draft year and went undrafted. Got worse as a D+1. Then his assist totals skyrocketed, because he's a pass-first player on a line with a guy who scores a lot of goals, but he's not been able to score. He should be potting more goals than he has been, regardless of who he is playing with and how many, or few, goals they score.
I'd say at best he ends up being a 5th rounder like Saigeon was, but he's going to score a lot fewer goals, is a lot smaller, and will need a monster playoffs like Saigeon had for that to happen. So more than likely, he goes even lower or undrafted. Maybe some team gives him a shot, but I like a lot of other D+2 forwards out of the CHL (or just players in general) before him...
Namely, Brett Neumann. Another former Leafs invitee. He too will need a rather large playoffs, but he could end up being a late 4th rounder. He's shown he can drive an entire team in the OHL, even with no talent around him. They were not all that successful, but that's still very impressive.
I doubt either end up make it on many 100 player draft boards TBH though.
