C/LW Landon McCallum (Sudbury,OHL) 2019-20: 52gp/2g/4a/6pts,25PIM, picked 15th overall by the Wolves. In an interview I read, he said that he wasn't happy with his rookie season, and didn't like how easily he was pushed off of pucks-so he immediately went to work after the end of the season, working out and eating, and went from 5'10"161lbs to 6'0"178lbs. If he gets picked, he have been one of the youngest to be drafted this year, as he has a Sept.5th birthday. McCallum has a lot of tools, and a quality work-ethic. He's a quick, wide-stance skater, who plays with pace, and keeps his feet in motion. Challenges opponents in all zones, and makes himself an option for a pass by finding those soft spots in coverage, where he can exploit time and space. Gets the puck to high-danger consistently. Sneaks through traffic to get shots. Good defensive player-battles hard at the net-front to box opponents away from his goalie. Handles the puck well through traffic, and holds possession under pressure. Competes hard, and leaves nothing on the ice. Skating is good, but could use an upgrade for the next level. He also needs to keep getting stronger, and working on his shot. If he gets picked, it will be in the later rounds.

LW Jack Beck,5'11"152lbs (Ottawa, OHL) 2019-20: 56gp/7g/12a/19pts,16PIM. Quick feet, can reach top speed in just a few strides. Fluid and agile, he can change speed and direction to fool defenders. Beck has innate playmaking abilities, and can create time and space to dish at high speed. Highly creative, and can find teammates in high-danger with tape-to-tape passes through traffic. He's very hard to knock off the puck, and has solid puck-protection skills. He exhibits good two-way ability, and uses his speed and awareness to disrupt plays in the neutral, and defensive zones, and has great positioning to block lanes. If he hasn't already, he needs to get bigger and stronger. He competes hard, but isn't overly physical-so he could improve that area. His shot is solid and accurate, but needs more strength. Like McCallum, if he gets picked, it won't be until the later rounds.
