I'm hoping to keep this thread going through out the season. The idea is to write game reports of any notable prospects that are draft eligible for the 2010 draft. I'm actually graduating to the real world, but since Ièll be in Kitchener most likely I'll get to see the Rangers play the Knights and the Spits a lot.
I would appreciate WHL season ticket holders to come on here and post their thoughts, as I don't get out that way anymore.

My first update is about Jeff Skinner.

Skinner is the type of player people pay to watch. While he is somewhat undersized, his good lower body strength allows him to protect the puck extremely well. An explosive, elusive forward, he's got a motor that never quits and uses his speed to equally create offence and be a pest to the opposition. An offensively gifted player, Skinner has been a beast during the pre-season and looks poised for a major break out. I could easily see him breaking a point per game this year. In a draft class that boasts Cam Fowler, Taylor Hall and Erid Gudbranson also coming from the OHL with a lot mor hype, Skinner is a player to keep you eye on.
