Yeah, Ethan Belkidz and...
Tyne and Lawrence are kind of β and even Wyatt Cullen are all on that next tier.
You could add in Oscar Hemming and Maddox Dagenais.
But in terms of what Ethan Belchez can bring is he's a 6'5 power forward that is skilled, has really good hockey IQ.
When he played with Liam Greentree, you could just see it β see his production levels rise after his D-1 season.
He was not a point-per-game player, and then this year scouts and people β
that are making these decisions and wanted to see him produce more.
And he actually was a point per game player this year or above for Windsor, but you wanted to see him play in the playoffs and utilize the intensity and the physicality that he could bring, but he did get injured.
So that was a little tough, but in terms of like what I see out of him, it's one of these powerful words like that you can put into your lineup and put them on the first line, second line or third line and really help just,
create havoc in front of the net, because that's one of the things that he's really good at.
And he's, he has really good hands.
So I think that he's going to be able to utilize that to put home a lot of rebounds in terms of like the last person we saw that did that was Porter Martone.
And he's, he's doing pretty good in the NHL for his first stint.
But in terms of like Ethan Belches versus Porter Martone, I think Porter Martone had a better shot, better playmaking, but Ethan Belches might be the better skater.
So yeah,
There's definitely some upside there.
With Tyne and Lawrence, you have a great, great defensive center that can use that defense and put pressure on opposing forwards to create those turnovers and can actually create scoring chances for his team because of the high hockey IQ, the playmaking ability as well.
He didn't get to show that at BU, but he certainly did at the USHL with Muskegon Lumberjacks.
Again, like Wyatt Cullen, this is a guy that was 5'5 during the NTDP evaluations.
Now he's 6'1 and his growth plates are still live.
