It’s extremely hard to find a top line C at our choice. Not to mention, I feel like you’re selling Cootes short. When playing with other top end prospects, he was one of the best out there. He didn’t have much help with his respective team.

If traded to go on a memorial cup run next season, I think people would be surprised at the production. I want a reliable 2 way center too and he is exactly that. Has the highest compete level amongst his peers in the WHL (according to FC, my favorite draft guide).
