2016 NHL Draft prospect profile: Boris Katchouk rocketed up the ranks
Boris Katchouk was an unknown coming into the season, but he certainly isn't now.
After spending last season in the least competitive of Ontario's three Jr. A leagues, he burst onto the OHL scene this season. He opened the year with a four-goals-in-three-games stretch, but it wouldn't be until around the 40-game mark that his hype started to build.
A classic case of a player building his draft stock throughout the season -- a "riser" -- he moved from the Soo Greyhounds third line to the first. He outplayed Zach Senyshyn, who scored 45 goals, and Blake Speers in the final third of the season regularly, and was far and away the best Greyhound in the post-season.
