Ryan McGregor, C

McGregor may not have displayed overwhelming stats offensively this season, but he’s supposedly already a very good leader, even at the young age of 17.

He was an alternate captain for the Sting this season and put up 24 points through 65 games. He was the first centre taken by the Leafs in this draft, and he will most definitely stay in the OHL next season to continue his development as a pro hockey player.
