On draftsite NHL mock draft they have Kosta Manikis a Wolves OHL draft slated to be picked in the 5th round.He is currently playing junior b down south.Any hopes of him donning a Wolves jersey in September.
Manikis’ stay at the main camp was not beyond 48 hrs in his first year of eligibility; and, I don’t recall him being at last year’s camp. That would indicate he is interested in keeping the NCAA route open.
His line (with Tabak and especially Hutcheson as LW) dominated the mini camp scrimmage scoring about 8 goals. He wasn’t a very good skater, but I thought he was a smart enough player to make the team year two.
If Monikis & Ross get drafted along with Murray, and Philips next year; the wolves scouts at that time did a pretty good job evaluating talent. The 2001 ON born are not considered a particularly good group.
I watch way too much OHL ask my wife Ha Ha Ha! They are right at the bottom and I am not from Ottawa!

Damn, was hoping for both to rise a bit more.
Murray probably gets drafted, I'dsay 80-90% likely. Ross' rank makes it possible but more likely than not he doesn't. I'd say 30-40% chance he gets picked.
125 NA players were selected last year, 92 from Europe.
IMO Both have a slightly better chance than their ranking indicates from Byfield drawing additional scouting.

I'm not the biggest Blake Murray fan, but looking at those rankings that are a lot of players ahead of Murray who significantly worse prospects then Murray.
He will likely go, Ross may too. Im not a big fan of either. Philips is the stud on the back end. I don't really see much upside in the rest.

Tough crowd lol. The Wolves haven't had anyone drafted above the 6th round since Capobianco in 2014 lol, and no one the last two years. I'll take whatever we can get.
I agree on Phillips being the gem back there but like Thompson as well as a prospective NHL draftee.

Perhaps he has to play well at camp in order to be signed

Mark it on the board we are going to regret picking McCallum(1/2 a Pilon replacement) while Ottawa steals future scoring machine Sirrizotti .Just think if we had picked Giroux like we were supposed to over Gilhula.Ottawa also showed us in the end that scoring overagers Chiodo and Maksimovich are more valuable in the current OHL than truculent wingers like the Pilons.We keep sticking to the most penalized team in the league blueprint when elite teams left that years ago.We had a great year but we should improve and build on it to keep a consistent winner.We rarely draft elite scoring prospects while other teams harvest these players year after year.
