#7 Ty Voit
Age: 20
Height/Weight: 5’9 150lbs
Position: Centre/ Right Wing
Shoots: Right
Draft: 5th round 153rd overall 2021
Voit is not the pure sniper that Nick Robertson is, but they are similar players in that they are both small, both drafted out of the OHL, where they dominated, and both are no-quit guys who are determined to do whatever it takes to win.
Whereas Robertson scored 55 goals and 86 points in 46 games after being drafted, the less goal-oriented Voit scored 105 points in 65 games. Not quite as good, but still very excellent never the less.
Voit is the poster child for the 2021 draft which was even more random than normal NHL drafts which are already extremely random.
He was picked in the 5th round after no one saw him play the year before.
His post-draft explosion is very exciting and he is now one of the Leafs top prospects, owing to a very high upside.
Voit is a playmaker with a good shot, and like virtually every player on this list, he’s a very, very smart player known mostly for his excellent positioning and anticipation.
The only thing that stops him from being a top prospect and a higher pick is that he’s so small.
Still, the NHL’s bias against size is mostly ridiculous so there is no reason he can’t make it if he keeps developing like he has since being drafted.
Obviously at 150 LBS he needs to put on weight, but that likely won’t hold him back.
