Connors, Konecnys, Barzals OH MY!

[Spec7ral]

A few names to keep an eye on and their early starts:

McDavid:
3rd on Erie Otters in scoring with 4-11-15 in 10GP

Travis Konecny:
2nd on Ottawa 67's in scoring with 4-6-10 in 11GP

Mathew Barzal
1st on Seattle TBirds in scoring with 3-13-16 in 11GP

Any other 16 year olds in the CHL you are keeping tabs on for 2015?

Of interest:
Sean Day (D) (exemption status, 15yo)
5th on Missisauga Steelheads with 2-3-5 in 11GP

Gonna bump this myself with a question:

Who the fack is Nikita Scherbak? (He'll be 18 in a couple months but I'm hiding him in here anyways)

[4horsemen]

Who is this McDavid kid you speak of

[dodospice]

Who is this McDavid kid you speak of

I heard he compares well to Alexandre Daigle? Any truth to this...

Don't curse him!

Any thoughts on Konecny or Scherbak? I know you've spoken highly of Barzal already.

I really like Konecny and I think he's going to be a top 10 pick next year or damn close and I think it's going to be a very talented class which may keep him out of the top 5. However he's supremely skilled but a little on the small side.

Scherbak has come out of no where's really and there isn't a lot about him right now... However as the season goes on and we get more viewings there should be an opportunity to gather a better opinion. At this point, I'm not totally sure and would likely see him as a guy who will go in the 2nd round and has the potential to get into the first.

Who is Nikolaj Ehlers? That is the next question.

Kid is turning heads here in Halifax. I haven't had a chance for a live viewing yet but am planning on attending this weekend. Certainly seems to be a very early riser, leading the Moose in scoring (Drouin hasn't played many games).

I'll post more after checking out some live action.

I thought Elhers was 2014 eligible? Pretty sure he is 2014 eligible.

I thought we were talking only about 2015 draft. But good start for Elhers

[Gramps]

Jack Eichel is another to keep a eye on

11 points in 10 gms played for the U-18 USA team

[dodospice]

Ehlers is 2014 eligible, and Eichel is a good one. It's too bad he wouldn't of committed to the Mooseheads..

One of the drafts (2015) top eligible players, Ryan Pilon, actually left his team (Lethbridge Hurricanes) and has returned home to await a trade. He is according to an article I read the 3rd Hurricane to leave the team already this season, all three were also assistant captains. Now I'm not sure what's going on in Lethbridge but whatever it is they better hope it gets figured out and fast.

Sounds like some sort of crime/ethics -breach commited by a coach or player. Why else would that many players walk out? Very interesting. Sucks for a guy who is ranked so high to be sitting at home, I'm sure he has good reason.

We were, but I got bored because no one was chiming in so I started posting other prospects I was curious about/noticing.

FIRE AWAY!
