[Brock]

At first glance, I don't really see any suprising omissions except for maybe Mitch Maunu on defense.

 

[TheGreek]

I guess one could make a case based on previous rankings and such that both Kevin Mailhoit and Mike Card should be there. Kind of suprising that both have slipped so far so fast.

 

[willie]

I'm only familiar with the OHL and I can only think of 3 ommisions who I think should have been there:

Dan LaCosta - Owen Sound (over Shantz)
Mitch Maunu - Windsor (Over Wharton)
Peter Tsimikalis - Ottawa (Over Painchaud)

Outside of that, it looks pretty good. (from an OHL standpoint)

Edit - I forgot about Reddox. Is he eligible this year? If so, I would have put him in there.

 

[CharlieGirl]

I forgot about Reddox. Is he eligible this year? If so, I would have put him in there.

I think he's a 2005 draftee - he's a rookie this year.

 

[Brock]

I think he's a 2005 draftee - he's a rookie this year.

He's a Brent Burns, Daniel Carcillo rookie.

He's 2004 eligible guy getting his first taste of action in the OHL this season.

 

[Hossa]

Tsimikalis for one thing is a puzzling omission. He's scoring about a point a game this year with little talent around him (both he and Locke are centers for example). And he's 6'0 too, hardly short.

 

[goteam]

Surprising players missing from the WHL are Dustin Boyd and Brandon Dubinsky.

 

[StevieYdabest]

Well according to Ottawa Radio, it looks like both Bickell and Wharton won't be going due to injuries. Hopefully Tsimikalis will be added for one of them

 

[Dizzy]

Well according to Ottawa Radio, it looks like both Bickell and Wharton won't be going due to injuries. Hopefully Tsimikalis will be added for one of them

If Wharton isn't going then Maunu should get to replace him.

 

[GlueleG]

When is the game being played? And where?
