Its the dog days of summer. I am voting for Ruzicka because his upside is higher than most player remaining. He has size and skill and can put the puck in the net. in the OHl last year he had 63gp 36g 36a 72pts.
Here is his 2017 scouting report

Adam is a very skilled forward. Along with great size, he has very good hands, a very good shot. He knows the game with very good hockey sense. A shooter more than a passer. His skating is deceptive because of his size but he can open it up when he wants to. He has the ability to take his game to an elite level. He has a physical presence but not a physical player. His competitiveness, defensive commitment, and effort are often questionable. Has high end potential but a gamble by the NHL team drafting him. Could be a home run or a bust.

Th concerns about his work ethic are well documented. Here is an article where Ruzicka, his coach, and Treliving speak to his work ethic.

Sounds like Adam Ruzicka will be back in Sarnia next season.
