He signed a pro contract and received compensation(i.e.signing bonus) he is ineligible for NCAA play. He could play in any league that L.A. assigns him to AHL, ECHL, OHL.What's the story with Turcotte now that he has signed with LA Kings? Is he allowed to come to Saginaw if the Kings want him to or does he have to go back to University? Not sure the rules on this one

Don’t like the idea of taking someone committed to USDTP with a First Round selection. The kid looks awesome but I wouldn’t risk it till 3rd round similar to Duke in last years draft.
I read the Mock Draft and it looks like another year that is top heavy with forwards with not a lot of D to chose from.
So what do we really need for next year? From what I can tell we need right handed D as well as some help at RW
Didn’t realize that is how it works. Thank you. So what are the odds he lands in the following ...
1. NHL
2. AHL
3. ECHL
4. OHL
Unless he has the worst agent of all-time, he wouldn't have agreed to sign and therefore forfeited his NCAA eligibility without assurances that he'll be in pro hockey next year I'm sure
So who are we hoping to land this Saturday? What positional holes need to be targeted first?
I like Alfano as well.....my only question mark is his skating. He seems to "get there" in Minor MIdget but the OHL is a different ballgame and skating/speed could be his downfall. Having said that he does address a few big needs (1) Scoring....he can put the puck in the net and we need to replace 40+ goal of Giroux, (2) Size....we are not an overly big team and many of our guys with size and/or grit are OverAgers so depending on who we keep he could help and (3) Right handed shot.....most of our key forwards are Lefties and we are losing Coskey and Buzzy from our right side.
I would absolutely take him if available with our 2nd round pick.....bit of a stretch for 1st round
Another mock draft to chew on, this one also has us taking an American in round one. This time a defenseman
2020 OHL Priority Selection: Mock Draft
Wooooooo! Saginaw swing for the fences again and takes Fantilli!
Drinkell has a year to recruit him or London and Kitchener can pay the F up for him. Either way it's a win. Drinkell with the power move.
