I gotta say, this was a surprisingly close call between Mackey and Pelletier. I know he's put up big numbers in the Q, but his small size leaves me with reservations, especially after a significant injury last year. However, his hockey IQ is very good, and his tenacity and work ethic is uniquely great. He's got enough skill to make the NHL, but it might be only as a middle 6 winger.
Mackey is 6'2" and very skilled with high IQ. He puts up a fair amount of points as a defenseman and can join the rush pretty well, sometimes scoring in tight. He has the makings of a potential PP quarterback, and possibly a solid 2nd pair defender. Still has to prove he can play in the pros, but that's the same with all these prospects.
I'm honestly torn. I'm going Mackey, just based on a gut feeling.
