He's a very physically mature kid, but I"d love to see him continue to gain confidence in his ability to move the puck and work the powerplay before he makes the jump to the next level. I also think it's important for him to prove he can stay healthy at the OHL level first (after an injury plagued MM year and then rookie year in the OHL). He's been healthy all this year, but I'd like to see him post consecutive injury free seasons in junior before moving on (for the sake of his shoulder).<br /><br />I'd be shocked if he's not back next year. The year after that, well that's a different story.Brock Ottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237782074032840702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553903000955128175.post-71413260848662774202016-01-22T23:01:12.830-05:002016-01-22T23:01:12.830-05:00Hey Brock I love your site and greatly respect you...Hey Brock I love your site and greatly respect your knowledge...keep up the great work. Question on Cychrun....do you think he is NHL ready next year or would he be better off returning to the OHL?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564592619849864303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553903000955128175.post-1594904382895893282016-01-20T10:41:22.602-05:002016-01-20T10:41:22.602-05:00Thank you for your response.Thank you for your response.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553903000955128175.post-12801204417317427042016-01-20T08:58:18.803-05:002016-01-20T08:58:18.803-05:00Great question.
All are great defenders. It'...Great question. <br /><br />All are great defenders. It's hard to rank them because we're comparing 4 NHL defenders to an OHL defender. So I'll try to rank them simply according to how they looked as draft eligible defenders.<br /><br />In that case, I think Hanifin and Nurse are behind him. Hanifin doesn't possess the same kind of offensive potential, and Nurse was more of a raw product at that point. <br /><br />I think his draft seasons compare pretty well to Ekblad and Jones. Quite frankly, I think a lot of how I'd rank him here would depend on how well Sarnia does in the playoffs this year. Both players had significant playoff runs in their CHL careers and established themselves as terrific leaders in the process. <br /><br />If you held a gun to my head to my head and made me rank them based on how I think they'll look 5-10 years form now. I'd go...1) Ekblad 2) Chychrun 3) Nurse 4) Jones 5) HanifinBrock Ottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237782074032840702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553903000955128175.post-45988573814618647912016-01-20T00:03:01.585-05:002016-01-20T00:03:01.585-05:00How would you rank Jakob Chychrun in comparison t...How would you rank Jakob Chychrun in comparison to Ekblad, Hanifin, Jones, and Nurse?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
