Couldn't sleep so decided to look for some dark horse picks for the Flames when I came across Jason Robertson. I've maybe seen his name once or twice in this thread but was surprised at how low his draft rankings are by different scouting services (ranked in the low first, high second round area).

Here's the stats for the 6'2" left shot LW (Kingston Frontenacs in OHL):
Regular Season: 68GP 42G 39A 81P
Playoffs: 11GP 5G 13A 18P

The really mind boggling stat is that Robertson's 42G in the regular season accounted for 23.5% of the team's goals. He also notched 30 more points than the next highest point getter on the team.

Reading some reports, it looks like he has a heavy shot, is an excellent passer, and always seems to be at the right places to score in front of the net. The one issue that comes up is that his skating isn't too great as it seems he doesn't have explosiveness off his first strides and is an awkward skater with clunky footwork.

Definitely someone to keep an eye out for come draft day.
