EC blows it up with all NHL players eventually Lindros, Colaiacovo, Tucker, Wolski, Belissimo might have a chance since he never touched NHL ice and made a living at the $60k level in europe.

My son has been courted by pretty much every team. I would imagine it’s the same for the top 20 kids/families or so. Based on who these teams say is committed, this is how I would rank next year.

TM will clearly be in top because of the requirement to be on TM if you are joining their brick team.

TM - brick pull.
DMF - RE is constantly recruiting and has been for years, seems like his full time job. You can’t deny the effort here.
JRC - brand recognition and core group.
VK - location and brand recognition.
NATS - location and brand recognition. Recruiting will be tough because of the coaching reputation, but brand recognition and location probably saves the day.
REB - no real info, sorry.
TRW - if the sell job is true, this team could move up even higher.
TT - a mix of JRC and other castaways. Organization has a pretty blemished reputation. Will be tough to recruit.
NYR - Complete rebuild. Best players to TM.
REPS - Great coaching staff but some questionable player decisions.
SENS - not much info, sorry.
MM - will be a tough go recruiting because of poor coaching staff reputation.

Hope this helps everyone.

Here it is , your kid is not a top kid for a few reasons , top kids dads don't go through a list of teams that have so called been 'courted' by them.

Second TM is going to be shit so you don't know anything outside of who they are bringing to brick. Also numb nuts their best brick players are not going to TM , your dumbness on this age group is showing. Stay in the OMHA probably playing for credit river

The top teams next year will be as follows, this is from actually knowing the league and age group for many years and being in hockey with 3 boys (2012, 2015,2016)

DMF/NATS (zero debate as the top two , not even close really)
JRC/TM
VK/TT
The rest......

Agreed. Someone said Farrone's kid was an animal. Unfortunately, he's very tiny. Give it a few years for the already huge defensemen in this league to realize their size and strength and get mean - they will eat this kid for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
