Feb.14th Draft Update:

-C Mike Misa is still leading the OHL in scoring (by 12 points!), with over 2 ppg. In his last 10 games, he has posted 24 points, for 49gp/47g/56a/103pts,+37, 33 PIM.

-RW Porter Martone has put up 25 points in 16 games (which is a slump for him) since returning from the World Juniors, for 6th in the OHL, with 42gp/27g/52a/79pts,+16, 55 PIM.

-C Jake O'Brien has moved into 8th in the OHL scoring race, after putting up 21 points in the last 10 games, for 53gp/27g/49a/76pts,-6, 16 PIM. Pure playmaker, but he's decided to score some goals this year.

-LW Kristian Epperson, who is in his D+1, has slipped to 21st in OHL scoring after posting 10 points in the last 10 games, for 45gp/20g/41a/61pts,+39, 70 PIM. He is 7th-overall in plus/minus. Epperson is a yankee, but he's fierce and physical, and plays solid defense while riding shotgun with Mike Misa.

-LW Malcolm Spence has slipped to 32nd in OHL scoring, after posting 7 points in his last 10. 49gp/21g/32a/53pts,+10, 40 PIM. Physical winger with a pro-style, two-way game.

-C Brady Martin has picked it up offensively lately, with 16 points in his last 10 games, for 43gp/25g/23a/48pts,+13, 56 PIM. One of my favorites, he is a mean, physical, two-way C who's production has been stunted somewhat by playing on a rather bad team in the Soo Greyhounds.

-Another player I like, C Ethan Czata, has only managed 10 points in his last 15 games, to put him in 45th place in the OHL scoring race, with 52gp/18g/30a/48pts,-6, 58 PIM. He's got size (6'1") and plays a physical, two-way style.

-C Jack Nesbitt has 10 points in his last 15 games as well, for 53gp/18g/30a/48pts,+11, 49 PIM. He's 6'4",and a power forward with a physical style.

-Kitchener D Cameron Reid has slipped in the standings as well, but has 14 points in the last 15 games, for 54gp/10g/34a/44pts,+27, 29 PIM. He is 7th in scoring by D, and is tied for 17th-overall in plus/minus. He's a six-footer, but obviously plays an excellent two-way game for the second-best team by points in the league.

-C Tyler Hopkins is tied for 61st in OHL scoring, with 51gp/15g/27a/42pts,-2, 14 PIM, after 14 points in his last 15. He plays on Kingston's second line, but he's a speedster and a fine two-way player in his own right.

-C Luca Romano was once cruising along at near ppg pace, but he has slid considerably with only 9 points in his last 20 games. He's now tied for 73rd in scoring, with 53gp/19g/20a/39pts,+2, 14 PIM.

-Hard-nosed D Keshawn Aitcheson is 12th in scoring by D, with 14 points in the last 15 games. 48gp/17g/22a/39pts,+9, 73 PIM. He is 3rd in goals for defensemen.

-D Henry Brzustewicz has slid to 16th in scoring by D, with 10 points in the last 15. 50gp/9g/25a/34pts,+16, 64 PIM. Don't judge him on points, as he plays behind some of the CHL's best defensemen on a very deep London Knights squad. When some of the older D leave for greener pastures next year, he will explode offensively. Bru has it all- size, skating, snarl, and two-way acumen.

-D Carson Cameron is another blueliner whose numbers don't reflect his true ability. He plays for one of the CHL's worst (and lowest-scoring) teams, in the Peterborough Petes, but has still managed to place 40th in scoring by D, with 48gp/7g/14a/21pts,-22, 20 PIM. I would be shocked if he wasn't taken in the top-3 rounds of the draft.

-LW Shamar Moses, a 6'1" power-forward, also has 10 points in his last 15 games, for the 18th-placed North Bay Battalion. 48gp/11g/28a/39pts,-14, 31 PIM.

-C Caleb Desnoyers is second in ppg (1.51) in the Q, 7th in scoring, and second in plus/minus, with 45gp/30g/38a/68pts,+41, 26pts. This kid is an absolute beauty, with size, speed, and a dominant two-way game.

-RW Justin Carbonneau has moved up to 5th spot in the Q scoring race, with 48gp/36g/33a/69pts,+4, 49 PIM, after 10 points in his last 5 games. He's a 6'2" speedster with soft hands, and a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

-LW/C Bill Zonnon is tied with Desnoyers for 7th in scoring, with 50gp/26g/42a/68pts,+2, 26 PIM, after 10 points in his last 10.

-Carbonneau's co-pilot, C Mateo Nobert, is tied for 18th in Q scoring, with 48gp/24g/32a/56pts,-3, 22 PIM, after 10 points in his last 10. He's a playmaker with a fairly robust physical game, despite measuring only 6'0",168lbs.

-LW Philippe Veilleux has been eating the Q for breakfast lately, and with 35 points in his last 18 games since the beginning of January, he has skyrocketed into a tie for 3rd in Q scoring, with 51gp/33g/37a/70pts,-9, 12 PIM. It will be interesting to see where he's picked in the draft, as he's only 5'9",165lbs- but his hockey sense and vision are as big as a house.

-LW/C Zachary Morin has tumbled, with only 5 points in his last 15 games since the start of January. Many have this 6'2" power-forward in the 2nd round, but he is now 85th in Q scoring, with 42gp/14g/17a/31pts,-1, 10 PIM. In his defense, he plays for the 16th-ranked (out of 18 teams) Sea Dogs, so he doesn't have much to work with.

-Over in the WHL, C Ben Kindel is still rollin', with 23 points in his last 15 games, to tie teammate Oliver Tulk for 4th in scoring, with 51gp/29g/55a/84pts,+30, 26 PIM. He is also 18th in plus/minus. Kindel is rather diminutive (5'10",175lbs), and isn't exactly a speedster, but he's obviously a highly intelligent scorer with a sound two-way game.

-C Carter Bear is 8th in scoring, and 6th in plus/minus, with 47gp/37g/40a/77pts,+39, 52 PIM. Bear is the hardest-working player in the draft, and plays an incredible defensive game.

-C Cole Reschny has been smoking the 'dub, with 32 points in the last 17 games, since the beginning of January for 49gp/22g/51a/73pts,+34, 38 PIM, which puts him in a tie for 11th in scoring, and 10th in plus/minus. He's only 5'10", but weighs 190lbs, and plays a very pro-style game, with suffocating defense. If you want another Brayden Point, this may be it.

-RW Cameron Schmidt hasn't quite looked the same since missing some time in December with an injury. Since the beginning of January, he has 19 points (8 goals) in 17 games, which is far off of his torrid scoring pace from earlier in the season. He is tied for 29th in the scoring race, with 46gp/34g/25a/59pts,-12, 34 PIM. He's only 5'7",161lbs, but nobody told him that. He plays much bigger.

-LW Nathan Behm is tied with Schmidt for 29th in the scoring race, with 49gp/26g/33a/59pts,-18, 12 PIM, after 11 points in the last 10- he's been pretty consistent, which is amazing when one considers that Kamloops is one of the league's worst teams (19th out of 22 teams).

-C Brayden Cootes has been remarkably consistent as well, with 15 points in his last 12 games, to put him in 59th-place in the scoring race, with 47gp/21g/27a/48pts,-2, 14 PIM. Amazing, considering that Seattle is 17th out of 22 teams. Cootes is an intense two-way center.

-LW Lynden Lakovic returned Friday night from an injury that has taken him out of action for over two months, putting up 2 points for 32gp/18g/23a/41pts,-15, 4 PIM.

-6'4" center Hayden Paupanekis has put up 11 points in 16 games since joining the Kelowna Rockets, for 55gp/18g/17a/35pts,-18, 45 PIM.

-LD Jackson Smith is tied for 14th in scoring by D, with 53gp/2g/38a/40pts,+4, 40 PIM, after 6 points in the last 10. Smith, who hails from Calgary and looks like a Hemsworth brother, is a 6'3" speedster with a solid all-around game.

-LD Will Sharpe has 7 points in 15 games since joining the Kelowna Rockets (20th-overall), which is a steep fall from the 28 points in 35 games he had with Lethbridge (5th-overall). I still like Sharpe as a solid two-way defenseman, and I hope scouts see past his poor production with Kelowna.

-Behemoth defender, RD Radim Mrtka did himself a huge favor in coming across the pond to play in the WHL, as he is now at 27gp/3g/24a/27pts,-2, 28 PIM for the 17th-place Seattle Thunderbirds. He is 6'6", skates well, and plays a smooth two-way game.

-RD Blake Fiddler has put up 48gp/8g/16a/24pts,+6, 32 PIM, on the 12th-place Oil Kings.

-C James Hagens has 10 points in his last 10 NCAA games with Boston U, for 28gp/7g/23a/30pts,+18, 18 PIM.

-C Anton Frondell has 9 points in the last 6 games in the Allsvenskan, Sweden's second-tier league. 23gp/7g/8a/15pts,+6, 16 PIM. He is 4th in scoring for U-20 players in that league.

-LW Victor Eklund has 8 points in his last 10 games in the Allsvenskan, for 34gp/12g/11a/23pts,+9, 37 PIM. Eklund is a highly competitive sparkplug with superb speed and skill.

-RD Logan Hensler has posted 4 points in 9 games since the WJC for the NCAA's U of Wisconsin, for 26gp/2g/9a/11pts,-13, 21 PIM. Looks like he's starting to get acclimated to playing against men.
