2015 recruits Miles Gendron and Jeff Wight rated the 74th and 189th best North American skaters for the upcoming NHL draft in June. Gendron could go as high as the third round.
One Boston-area player who is attracting notice in the scouting community is Rivers School defenseman Miles Gendron. The converted center turned heads at the Select 17 Festival this summer and again at the Beantown Summer Classic with his combination of size (6-2) superb skating/mobility, and strong two-way game. Although raw as can be in the defensive zone and lanky with a lot of filling out to do, his eventual ceiling given his natural offensive instincts and quickness is considerable. We're hearing that NHL scouts are quietly zeroing in on him.
Prep players are tougher to peg in the draft pecking order, but at
Red Line, we're believers in players who can skate and possess natural hockey sense as Gendron does. He's one to watch and could set himself up for legitimate draft consideration if he's able to prove himself as an effective blue-liner at both ends of the ice
