2018 NHL Draft prospect profile: Ryan McLeod is a serious centre contender

Since being drafted third overall by the Flint Firebirds in the OHL Priority Selection in 2015, Ryan McLeod has done nothing but improve his game. During his first season in the OHL, played with the Mississauga Steelheads after he was acquired for six draft picks, McLeod tallied a modest 20 points (7G, 13A) in 62 games. The following season, he more than doubled his points, coming in at 42 (9G, 33A), and really stepped it up for the playoffs, racking up a point-per-game average in 20 playoff games.

As impressive a growth spurt as that was, it‘s nothing compared to his 2017-18 season.
