Hot 15 Prospects

No prep players in this edition. Their seasons haven't really kicked into gear yet and there are just too many hot junior players available right now. There's a lot of foreign players in this list, so you can be assured that not all will retain their NCAA eligibility.

2. Stanislav Galiev (F/92) - Indiana-USHL
3. Matt Nieto (F/92) - USNTDP
5. Justin Baker (D/91) - Streetsville-OJHL
6. Brett Chartier (F/91) - Lincoln-USHL
7. Brandon Saad (F/92) - Mahoning Valley-NAHL
9. Beau Bennett (F/91) - LA Kings AAA
11. Jordan Depape (F/92) - Winnepeg Saints-MJHL
12. Rocco Grimaldi (F/93) - Little Caesar's
13. Kirill Gotovets (D/91) - Shattuck
14. Joe Wilson (F/92) - Syracuse-EJHL
15. James Polk (F/92) - Shattuck

Mike Montagna is commited to Vermont.
Shane McColgan is almost all but sure he is going to the W, and I think Brandon Saad verbally commited to Saginaw Spirit. I may be wrong and they still can be prospects but I was just saying.

Patrick Wey continues to confound me as he is one of the best defensive defensemen in the USHL, currently among the leaders in +/-.
Princeton has expressed interest as well as many Eastern schools. seems to me that he will be a catch at 6'2.5" and 203lbs. whoever lands him! I heard he was a very good student as well. Anyone know why he has not committed?

Looks like McColgan signed with Kelowna. Was Montagna on the original post? Saad has said he is going to OHL but hasn't officially signed I believe.

From Mark Siedel Blog:

Joe Ramieri Aurora Tigers OJHL Right Defence, 6'2 210lbs Joe, an honour student with an 1860 SAT score, is currently enrolled at the Hill Academy and comes to the Tigers from Avon Old Farms Prep School in Connecticut. Big, strong, tough, stay at home, physical. Could be a sleeper pick to help the Leafs blueline. Coached by former Leaf Jerome Dupont.

Joe Ramieri? He did not even make varsity at Avon last year.

Schaller is a forward. It was a mistake on the EJ site.

Was Schaller switched to forward? He was an EJHL all-star defenseman last season and is listed as a d-man by Central Scouting.

He was a forward ... they moved him back to Defense late last year, but he is now playing forward. My opinion - he is a better forward than defenseman
