TheScout.ca recently listed the top Battalion prospects in order, as follows:

Joe Vrbetic
Kyle Jackson
Liam Arnsby
Alex Christopoulos
Paul Christopoulos
David Campbell
Steven LaForme
Devon Savignac
Although the article says it is a top 10 list, I was only able to locate the above 8.

In somewhat related news, at Day 1 of the OHL Gold Cup, Arnsby had 0G, 2A and a checking to the head minor, undoubtedly bringing a smile to the face of the GM. In addition, A. Christo (Player of the Game) had 1G, 1A. It doesn’t look like any other NB draftees picked up a point.

..hey North Bay fans...go to the Windsor Spitfire thread ..scroll down to the topic about Niagara Falls drafting/signing violations and you will see the battle we have drafting/signing top end talent and the demands made by parents/agents/players.....explains our drafting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So 1st round picks get automatic four year rides? That kind of leaves a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it?

Not always BPA.

 

[SpezzaNoLookDropPass]

The league and the Ice Dogs look a complete joke right now, so poorly handled on both ends

Burke: I'm appalled that you believe we negotiated this illegal payment towards your post secondary education!

Wilkie: Actually, it's an illegal payment that you agreed to and then reneged on. So you're a cheater and a scum bag.

Guarantee that he would report? I liked him near the end of the season, happy with the picks from this year, curious as to who replaces Braz as the scoring leader this year

 

[barclayplager]

Coe..

 

[SpezzaNoLookDropPass]

Coe..if he uses his wingers and passes when he wants to not when he has to.

So much potential

Kyle Potts also at the RBC with Oakville

Who went to the Kitchener chl showcase last year? I did and it was awesome! I heard its in Nb this year.

 

[dirty12]

A CHL showcase in NB with Coe & Verbetic playing with all the top ranked for the 2020 NNL draft would be awesome. I would get tickets for that.

kyle jackson 1g 1a in the 7-4 loss against kyle potts tonight, who had 1g 2a himself

I thought it was the NHL draft eligible showcase. Maybe mistaken

 

[belair]

The exhibition showcase is held in Buffalo.

I believe the game @Olden is speaking of is the Sherman-Williams Top Prospects game that was held in Red Deer this past year. It'll be held in Hamilton in 2020. I'm not certain what was held in Kitchener.

 

[SeniorJuniorFan]

According to OHL website, there were 2 4-team exhibition tournaments on Labour Day weekend in 2018.

In Kitchener: Kitchener, Moncton, North Bay and Saginaw.
In Buffalo: Erie, Hamilton, Flint and Windsor.

The inclusion of Moncton in Kitchener might move the event from OHL to CHL status.
