So some familiar names and some not familiar names. I've gathered some thoughts on a few of the lesser known players:
NHL scout: "Elynuik one of the meanest, toughest fighters I have ever seen in the USHL" Between him, Mitch Dempsey Anthony Camara- rugged Fs

Interesting (I think?): #Bruins camp invite Jesse Lees, WHL d-man, is only 17. He'll turn 18 9/14. Had 12-18-30 (66gp) for Kelowna in 12-13.

Lees is another average to on-the-small-side D Boston likes so much. Strong defensively & has big point shot. Could be on verge of breakout

Up front Soo winger Mitch Dempsey also intriguing. Had tough luck season with injuries & bout with pneumonia but is a budding power forward
