You might be right, but, I think that we will have to wait till next June to see what happens with players like Castleman and the other players from this past season.
This will be their second year in the OHL and the picture on them will be better with more games having been played.

Josh Norris taken in the 1st round - drafted two years ago by Marty. Heard that our head scout is close to the father so maybe we can see him in Niagara next year. Also local boy Kovacevic was drafted as well and was taken by the Ice Dogs a couple of years back.

Castleman with a September 15th birthday was the youngest player in the draft year. He had a great freshman year and hopefully can build upon it next year. At one point his ranking was higher than Jones but I think scouts want another year to rule out the "fluke factor" .

That was precisely my point on our young guns from last season. A productive season this year will help them big time.

I knew I recognized that Kovacevic name from somewhere ... didn't get a chance to look him up yet ... thanks for the info

Oilers just wrapped up their prospect camp. They always end with a big scrimmage/game. Maximov lead the way with 3 goals. Highlights should be up on the Oilers website.

Great news.

If he can play all season like he did for the last .... .what, 15 or 20 games. He could make the top 10 leading scorers in the league. Hope he can do it.
