But I'm gonna go with Zain Perak. So Zain
Perk is a, oh, sorry. Um Yeah
, he is a right shot defenseman playing with the
Saginaw spirit. He put up a crazy uh point
production year. Uh, he had 96 points in
66 games, uh 30 of 33 of which were
goals and that's just incredible. Like defenseman don't put
those numbers up and I believe we talked about him
earlier this year about how he could potentially become 100
point defenseman. And I think the last guy to
do that was, uh Ellis Ryan Ellis. Yeah
. So it's, it's been a long time in
the OHL since you've had 100 point defenseman didn't quite
get there. But you, you have to have
a pretty good skill set to be that productive and
he has, I think just one of the best
shots from a defenseman, like he gets it off
really quick and it, it just flies really low
. He can pick his spots really, really well
. Um Oh, where is he here? Um
, yeah, I like, it's one thing I
noticed last year when watching Connor Bedard is a very
unique shooting style and I feel like Zain Brett kind
of fits into that. Like, it's not a
typical way to shoot a puck, but he does
it really, really well, like he gets a
lot of power, but it doesn't look like he's
using a lot of power. I think it's,
it's a really efficient way of shooting. Um He's
got a good puck carrying, he's smart, he's
creative with the passing. Uh He's great at creating
scoring opportunities, especially when there's like no room and
there shouldn't be a scoring opportunity. All of a
sudden there is um the only issue I found with
him was he's not engaged defensively. Um Yeah,
like he kind of just taps out. He doesn't
seem to have much interest in that. And so
I don't know how high his competitiveness is, uh
which, which is a little concerning for me and
as I'm putting together my own ranking, uh which
is soon coming out on the substack premium. He
didn't rank quite as high as some other people put
him. I'm a little closer to where uh Logan
Horn put his, so Logan ranked him 11th,
um which is the same as FC hockey and yeah
, uh I just, I don't love how he
doesn't have that defensive end and yeah, he can
skate, he can shoot, he can pass,
but then he just sort of taps out and I
think that might hold him back when he gets into
the pro level. He can easily develop. It
might just be because he is a teenager who is
excelling more than any other defenseman in the league right
now. He's taking it easy. And uh yeah
, I don't know if that's something that should be
praised with a top 10 pick.
