He's ok, but they will have better options. If Niagara is actually going to draft all North York players, Smith first, Eshkawkogan second, they may want to consider Jalen Lobo in the third and take a shot at goalie Brad Knowling with a later round pick.
Wasslyn will be the first round pick.
Little early to say that. They haven't even played a game yet in the ohl. Won't know for a year or so
This will be interesting. I feel like last year we had one of the top draft classes in Roobroeck, Czata, Frolov and Galiyanov.
Yeah, would be nice to know literally anything about him, maybe we'll learn more tomorrow if he stops by Meridian. Can't find any stats anywhere and barely any photos, haha.
Yeah Niagara has a really solid young core now, especially up front. If they can add a dman or two through import and trade, it should be a fun year
I hope not...it's a long way to come shortly after the priority selection. I would think they had clarity regarding his reporting before they drafted him.
They said that last year with 3rd round pick Haydon Reid and couldn't get him signed.
Reid was committed to an NCAA school and had a USHL team lined up. I wouldnt report either
Why not take chance on him and draft him in later rounds. Think they were sure he was coming.
2023. “He’s playing junior B as a 16-year-old. He didn’t get picked in the draft last year,” DeDobbelaer said. “He grew about five inches and he’s had an outstanding year.” DeDobbelaer said Reid has a four-year scholarship to Colgate on the table.
Reid may have wanted to play for the OHL, but that doesn't mean he wanted to play for the IceDogs.
I believe both Wassilyn and Humphries has the same agent and apparently that agent is friends with DeDobbelaer. That is why we probably draft so many players who are represented by that agent.
I don't think so, from the Ottawa area, I wouldn't blame them for not making the trip overnight. Plus he made a phone call appearance on the Dog Pound Podcast. Also said he knows/played with Wassilyn in some summer tournaments before.
