So today, I will look at Windsor Spitfires center Logan Brown.
Brown is 6’6″, 220+ lbs and just turned 18 in March. He is the son of former NHLer and current Ottawa 67’s head coach Jeff Brown.

Tkachuk, son of longtime former NHL’er Keith Tkachuk capped off an immense season with two goals, including the Cup-winner in overtime. Sure, the OT winner may have nicked Dvorak on it’s way to the back of the net, but neither player really cared nor did the celebratory Knights.
Heading in to the summer the Lightning arguably hold the best tandem in the league with Vezina Trophy finalist Ben Bishop and highly touted 21-year-old Andrei Vasielvskiy.
Ryan MacInnis is your prototypical late bloomer; in his draft season MacInnis had 16 goals and 21 assists in 66 games. But in his draft +1 year, he had 25 goals and 37 assists. And last season, he had 38 goals and 43 assists despite playing 7-8 fewer games than in seasons past.
Matthew, born in Scottsdale, Ariz., like Matthews, has some of his old man in him: he’s strong, he’s very good in tight to the net, he protects the puck extremely well. His dad shot more and skated better, but there’s certainly bloodlines there, although the boy will be a much higher pick than his dad.
The London Knights winger is ranked second among North American skaters for the upcoming NHL Draft.
Which means, once Auston Matthews and the two Finns come off the board, that puts Tkachuk in the crosshairs of the Edmonton Oilers with the fourth pick.
With the 2016 NAHL Entry Draft less than two weeks away, the Bismarck Bobcats kept their busy week of transactions going: sending a fifth round draft pick to the Kenai River Brown Bears for forward Austin Junger.
P.S. Why isn’t Maroon also expendable? He’s not paid much, just $1.5 million per against the cap, and he adds size, skill and toughness. In other words, he’s a bargain player, who fills many needs on the Oilers. That’s the definition of a keeper to me.
The draft-eligible Tkachuk is a late-97 birthday so he too has one year of eligibility left, and whoever picks him next month will likely avail that option where he is apt to be team captain and assume an even larger role on what will still be a terrific team.
Cincinnati Cyclones Head Coach Matt Macdonald has announced that forward Dominic Zombo has signed a Standard Player Contract (SPC) for the 2016-2017 season. Zombo comes to the Queen City after spending his rookie campaign with the Toledo Walleye.
