Summary
C/RW Alex Tuch 6'3'' 216lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=178526 - FC has him ranked 16
- thought he was average early in the season, but has been the best draft eligible player in the last half of the season
- his ability to play with skilled forwards doesn't get enough credit
- plays with Eichel and Milano, not easy guys to play with because of their speed and offensive, but does a great job complimenting that line with his own speed and big presence
- already physically mature at 6'4'' 220lbs
- not only can he hit and win puck battles along the walls and provide size for the skilled players, he has own offensive ability
- talks about his last viewing of Tuch and his mind was blown that a guy that big could do what he did
- difference between him and Michael McCarron - Tuch is a little more finess than McCarron. definately a better skater than McCarron and offensively more gifted. other than the physical ability there is no real comparisson between them
D Josh Jacobs 6'2'' 194lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=168704- he is always going to be a puck moving D that starts the rush that is able to make the smart pass
- but in the offensive zone doesn't think game will translate into someone that puts up a lot of assists and points
- probably do a lot of things offensively that won't show up on the scoresheet at the next level
- great breakouts and able to find the smart play to stretch the ice
- ability to join the rush has been impressive
- mid-season he was lackluster, but now in the playoffs his confidence is sky high and almost looks like he has outgrown the USHL
- have him ranked as a 2nd/3rd round guy, thinks he will go 2nd round based on his all around game
D Ryan Mantha 6'5'' 225lbs Shoots R
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=203339- thinks he will be a 5th/6th round guy
- start of the year a lot of people liked him (Central scouting had him ranked as a "B" prospect for this year's draft)
- one aspect of the game that he lacks is his puck skills and can be turnover prone at times
- trade to Indiana has helped him as coach Jeff Brown is helping turn his game around
- slowly starting to see consistencies in his game
- starting to become a physical player using his big frame a 6'5''
- hard to pass up on his size and ability to play in his own end, particuarly in the middle of the ice, he blocks a lot of shots and is a real effective PKer
also talks about G E. Minney and a few sleeper picks but I am not going to summarize that
