Soon to be the most famous Drake in Canada, Batherson is one of the biggest leaps in ranking since last year, and for good reason. Drake Batherson tore through the QMJHL this season with a highlight reel season that saw him score 77 points in 51 games while also being the top goal scorer on Team Canada’s World Junior team helping them capture the much coveted gold medal. Picked in the fourth round in his second year of eligibility, Batherson is a late bloomer determined to show everyone that he is the real deal. It seems at this point, the best place for Batherson is in Ottawa and many will agree he has the talent and the hockey smarts to make the leap making it very surprising if he is not on the roster for at least the start of the season.
