Kind of surprised on Antropov, mostly because in the few (very early) 2019 draft rankings, he seems to consistently be in the 31-40 range but you have him as 21st ranked OHLer in a year where there's probably only 3 OHL 1st rounders

Really liked Antropov as a 16 year old, but I didn't like the progression he showed as a 2nd year player. Now, I know his ice time and responsibility fluctuated. But felt that his game (in my viewings) failed to take that next step. If anything, I thought he was less aggressive in attacking the net than he was as a rookie, and seemed more content to be a passenger instead of a catalyst. Also don't think his skating improved at all. His pace of play will need to increase. Let's see how he looks this year. But he's still going to have to fight for ice time this year on a strong Generals team. If he's not a point per game player this year as a 3rd year player, I don't see him being ranked as more than a 3-4 round guy. But then again, Kody Clark went in the mid 2nd, so...
