Comments:
Shane Wright is a 2004 born player dominating the 2003 born circuit. Exceptional status must be on lock down for Wright, because another year of minor midget AAA would make no sense. He is the real deal and whatever team is lucky enough to draft him will likely get three years of his services (expect him to go to the NHL after his draft year). All the physical tools are there and his hockey IQ is next level. The way he sees the ice, distributes the puck, and attacks open gaps is impeccable. Watch out for the quick wrister mid-level and under the glove. That’s his go to move, but Wright has several tricks up his sleeve. I’ve seen him put the puck in the net almost any way imaginable. Shane has recorded over 100 points already this season according to the Don Mills Flyers.
He led the Don Mills Flyers to an OHF Bantam Championship last season with 15 points in 8 games. His Don Mills Flyers have only lost one game this season (finals of Silver Stick to Compuware), and they won the Toronto Titans Prospect Tournament and Wendy Dufton Memorial Tournament in dominant fashion. The Don Mills Flyers were tested at the Toronto Marlboros Holiday Classic, but emerged victorious. Shane Wright got the OT game-winning goal in the finals and was named MVP of the tournament.
The overtime shift before the game winner saw Shane Wright (#12), Brennan Othmann (#11) and Brandt Clarke (#2) come very close to scoring. What a shift by these top prospects from the Don Mills Flyers AAA squad. Great goaltending by Samuel Moncada! @03DMF @DMFlyersAAA @GTHLHockey pic.twitter.com/SiiSpvvDeR

Comments:
Brandt Clarke is going to make an OHL fan base very, very happy. The offensively gifted defenceman is oozing with skill and is very creative in the offensive zone. He can make all the fancy plays and it’s easy to see the similarities between him and his brother Graeme (forward for the Ottawa 67s). His stick handling and deceptive dekes are unmatched in this draft class. Clarke has incredible puck skills – he can make it disappear like he’s doing a magic trick when the opponent tries to take it off him. Clarke shows off his ability to dangle with a successful "Michigan Move" executed below.

Comments:
Sasha Pastujov had himself a tournament at the Silver Stick in Whitby. Him and Dylan Duke (see #9 on this list) had an incredible weekend and wowed those in attendance. The finals with the Don Mills Flyers (5-4 OT win) was an absolute classic. Pastujov displayed a nice wrist shot that found the net frequently. He can change up his speed drastically to keep defenses on their heels and stop on a dime. This kid can really play and his puck skills are special. Check out a goal by Pastujov (wearing #12) from the Silver Stick Tournament (assisted by #25 Dylan Duke) below.

Comments:
Schmidt is absolutely massive. The tale of the tape has to be in the 6-5 or 6-6 range and well over 200 pounds. For such a big guy, he is quite nimble on his skates and has pretty quiet feet. Overall power and strength are his main strengths. His shot is an absolute cannon and he makes the puck very heavy. I’m surprised when his shot hits the glass or the boards that it doesn’t go right through.

Comments:
Lockhart is a highly skilled center from the Ottawa area. This kid has uber quick feet and a crazy good first step. He is the full offensive package with excellent moves, natural scoring talent, and excellent playmaking ability. Connor has a deadly accurate shot and scores really eye popping goals. His movement without the puck is impressive and he displays high hockey IQ in this area. Offensively, Connor darts through open gaps and creates lanes for his teammates. On the defensive end and in the neutral zone he is excellent at cutting off passes and disrupting plays. The natural ability is there, but he also has the hockey intelligence to be a major superstar in the OHL.

Comments:
McTavish plays the game with an exceptional combination of skill and power. It's extremely difficult for opponents to knock him off the puck or break his stride. The strength he possesses is mind-boggling for this age group. Mason can also make really nice moves with very little space or room to maneuver. He is like a freight train coming through and he unleashes a very heavy shot off the rush. I was behind the glass when he missed a shot attempt and it hit the glass a few feet over. My ears were ringing for a few seconds after - that shot is a cannon!
Be strong on pucks, use your edges to your advantage, and have a quick release, Saturday's 3rd ⭐️ Mason McTavish puts it all on display on this beauty goal. @PLK_Midget_AAA went on to defeat Carleton Place 5-4.#HEOMidgetAAA Fall Showcase pic.twitter.com/iGsvvxkCQv— HEO Midget AAA (@HEOMidgetAAA) September 2, 2018

Othmann is Shane Wright’s partner in crime. He is the perfect complement to Wright and they play extremely well together. Othmann is super sturdy and can bury the puck. His finishing touch is really high-end. Brennan has scored over 50 goals and 100 points this season according to the Don Mills Flyers.

Comments:
Zhilkin was my favourite player in the bantam age group when he played with the Toronto Nationals. He made the move to the Marlies for his OHL Draft year and looks fantastic in the blue and white. He is really, really fast and tracks well at his top speed. It's hard to rank a player with blazing speed and control any lower than this. If he sticks to his commitment to Boston University, it will be a hugh loss for OHL fans. Lots of talent here and he's the best player on the Marlies, who always have a juggernaut minor midget squad.

Duke can really motor and has excellent overall skating skills. He is undersized, but he has the speed and skill to be a big time star in the OHL. Duke and Sasha Pastujov (see #2 on this list) worked really well together at the Silver Stick. Duke is a fantastic playmaker, but he can also finish off plays as he regularly displays a nice scoring touch.

Speed kills and Pinelli has it in spades. His hands keep up with his feet and he has made some moves that make my head spin. Pinelli plays with a bit of mean streak and likes to stir things up a bit. He is very physical and doesn't shy away from contact in the tough spots. He will be a superstar in the OHL. Take a look at a fine example of his handy work below.

Callens is another guy who is crazy fast. He absolutely flies out there and can skate circles around most of the competition. He got a really nice tip in goal at the Silver Stick that I’m not sure he got credit for and regularly displays excellent hand eye coordination. His shot is pretty lethal and the release on it is nasty. Maddox also has a nice one-timer and can really wire it if he is set up well. Below is a goal from his Bantam year - appears that it was a pretty big one...

Shut down D. The stats aren’t overly impressive, but they are decent. Del Mastro jumps up into the play very well and displayed this at the GTHL Top Prospects Game with a goal. He plays a complete game and I’ve been very impressed by his style for a while now. Ethan uses his big frame and skating ability to gain leverage on opponents, and it's very hard to beat him off the rush. He is very tough below the dots and he wins most puck battles down low. He played up with the minor midget Marlies last season when they were short a defenceman.

Right shot D with great play making skills. Hipkin will go high in this draft since he plays the very important right defenseman position and does it very, very well. The distribution skills with the puck are very strong. Cole uses the boards really well and is very creative with where he puts it. If there is no play there, he wires it high and hard off the glass to relieve pressure. Hipkin is the rock on the back end that every OHL team needs.

Sirizzotti can flat out score. The numbers he is putting up this season are absolutely insane. He is also a very strong play maker and makes really exceptional plays with the puck. He could be the best pure offensive player in the draft. His offensive instincts are incredible and he has a knack for it.

Firmly in the first round, even though he is ranked on the bubble here. There's loads of gas in the tank with Rolofs and he has shown incredible stamina. When you think he is at the end of a shift, he finds a second wind for another high octane burst of speed and power.

Do you want the puck? Well, Liam Arnsby will go get it for you. I’ve seen Don Mills play a ton of games and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him lose a 50/50 puck battle. He also throws vicious hits and has absolutely leveled and intimidated his opponents regularly. Not a fun guy to play against. He is very, very strong on the puck and leans real hard on his stick. There is a ton of offensive talent, but he plays in both zones really well. He can really score and generate offence. These types of pivots are special, and he is about as complete as they come in this draft.

This kid is a flat out missile who throws extremely booming body checks. However, the best thing about his game is his positioning. He is always in the right spot and covers well. There’s a really nice wrister/snap shot there too.

His vision is really nice too and he has good playmaking skills. Put him way down compared to my first ranking. I still like his game, but other players are emerging as better options in the first round for me. It's a mute point though, Hughes will probably play with the USA NTDP U17 squad next year.
