Please see the attached profile of Edmonton Oil Kings’ D-man Blake Fiddler. This article grabbed my attention initially because of the favorable impression Fiddler made on me at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup (he competed for Team USA, although he is a dual citizen). He is nearly halfway to the 20 points he totaled last season in just 20 games (he has 9 points on 3 goals and 6 assists this season).
Although he is the 42nd-ranked prospect by Future Considerations for the upcoming draft, he is listed as a mid to late first rounder in numerous other rankings. NHL central scouting gave him an A rating (1st rounder) on its preliminary players to watch list.
