2016 NHL Draft Prospect: Alex DeBrincat is an offensive force in a small package

There's a lot to be said about Alex DeBrincat's ability to put the puck in the net, and with back to back fifty goal seasons in the OHL it's clear he's pretty good at it. Despite playing on teams in Erie that featured both Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome, DeBrincat still managed to lead the team in goals both seasons and is poised to do it again in 2016-17.

His biggest test will be playing without both McDavid and Strome for the first time, meaning DeBrincat will shoulder the load mostly by himself. Whichever team takes him in the draft will be keeping close tabs on him, as it will be important to see what he can do without an elite supporting cast.
