Seattle Kraken top prospect Jake O'Brien received high praise alongside his junior team, the Brantford Bulldogs for their strong start to the season.

Brantford Bulldogs (OHL): The top team in the Eastern Conference has been an offensive juggernaut. Adam Benak (MIN) has piled up points as expected, but Caleb Malhotra (2026 draft) has been a pleasant surprise with 12 in his first eight games. Elsewhere, Jake O'Brien (SEA) nabbed OHL player of the week honors and has 13 points through six contests.
