T.J. Oshie
Prospect Grade: 8.0 B (About Prospect Grades)
History
2004-05: Oshie helped lead Warroad High School to an undefeated season and Class A state title. The forward was the state’s scoring champion with 37 goals and 62 assists, was a Mr. Hockey finalist, and was named to the AP All-State first team. Oshie finished his season playing for Sioux Falls in the USHL.
2005-06: Oshie burst onto the college scene as a high-scoring freshman. His 24 goals were the highest total amassed by a first year player in the entire NCAA. He was especially potent on the power play, where he scored 11 times.
2006-07: Oshie's production was slow during the first portion of the season, presumably due to a thumb injury that caused him to play at less than 100 percent. But he returned to his usual form as the season went on, and ended up surpassing his previous years' point total, racking up 52 in 43 games.
Talent Analysis
Oshie displays proficiency in most offensive aspects of the game. He has excellent puck skills, is dangerous one-on-one, and is a worthy skater. Oshie is a good playmaker with a penchant for sniping goals himself.
Future
Oshie is heading back to North Dakota for another season. When he eventually decides to sign a pro contract, he has the makings of a No. 1 center.
