Rossy’s Thursday Prospect Ramblings
Today's ramblings look at the Connor McDavid show, recaps the progress of 2014 1st rounders and applauds the Leafs' Mark Hunter addition...
Thursday, October 23rd
Continuing from Tuesday’s ramblings, let’s get back to reviewing the progress of the prospects drafted in the first round of the 2014 draft.

Previously, John Quenneville (30th) to Robby Fabbri (21st) were covered and now it’s time to examine the start prospects Nick Schmaltz (20th) to Kevin Fiala (11th) have gotten off to.
20th – Nick Schmaltz (Chicago Blackhawks) – An aggressive move to trade up to acquire Schmaltz on draft day, it will be interesting to see how this dazzling playmaker progresses in the Blackhawks system. North Dakota’s freshman is showing no problems transitioning to the collegiate game with one goal and four points through four games.
19th – Anthony DeAngelo (Tampa Bay Lightning) – It’s an odd sight to look at the OHL’s defensive scoring leaders and not see Sarnia’s Anthony DeAngelo leading the pack but with one goal and eight points through his first half-dozen games, we’re not panicking. After impressing the Lightning during training camp, DeAngelo has returned to Sarnia rejuvenated. There has been a minor blip on his young season as the New Jersey defender has already served a two-game suspension for his altercation with an official.
