WHL
Cameron Schmidt, F, Vancouver Giants
Brandon Gorzynski, F, Calgary Hitmen
Niilopekka Muhonen, D, Medicine Hat Tigers
The WHL is the league home to the greatest amount of Stars prospects, but also their most intruiging, recent third rounder Cameron Schmidt. Schmidt, 18, dominated the WHL with 78 points over 61 games. His goal for next season should be to get considered for the Canadian world juniors team and perhaps eclipse the 100-point threshold.
The other two Stars prospects in the 'Dub' are solid as well. Niilopekka Muhonen is coming off helping the Medicine Hat Tigers win a WHL championship and make the finals of the ever prestigious Memorial Cup. Muhonen was a defensive anchor, and so his goal this year is to see further growth and confidence offensively. Meanwhile, Gorzynski, who was taken in the fourth round showed flashes of interesting tools and skill, but hadn't put it all together production-wise with just 42 points.
