These rankings take into account the pending exceptional status of Sean Day, the Ontario-born defenseman currently playing in Detroit with Compuware. Day’s raw physical tools are unmatched in this draft and his exceptional skating and acceleration could see him play in the OHL today without issue. Day is a rover on the ice who can skate the puck through defenders on an inkling and really change the complexion of a game with an end-to-end rush. He’s a solid defender but the mental side of his game does leave some room to desire as his decision making can be questionable at times. Also prone to take shifts off, which is something he will not be able to do at the OHL level.
