Here's my brief write-up on Deni Goure from his draft year in 2021. He didn't play in 2020-21 due to the pandemic.
C Deni Goure,5'10"159lbs (Owen Sound,OHL) 2019-20: 62gp/11g/14a/25pts, good numbers for a rookie. He doesn't turn 18 until July. Central Scouting changed his rating from a "C" to a "B" in January, and I'm not sure why. He models his game after Mitch Marner-his numbers point to a good offensive player, but his skating and defensive game (when he last played at the age of 16) get mixed reviews. He's not afraid to play physical, or battle in the dirty areas. Like DeGrazia, he says he's been working hard on his 200-ft game. A "B" rating suggests he's expected to be picked in the 2nd/3rd rounds, but I can't see that happening. If he gets chosen, it will be later down the line, if I had to guess.
