When Isaac Ratcliffe was drafted with the 35th pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, many fans saw it as a major reach for Ron Hextall. After starting slow this season with the Guelph Storm of the OHL, Ratcliffe turned it on in the second half and posted a 41 goal season. Ratcliffe possesses a very good shot and excellent hands down low, which is perfect for a hulking 6’5” power forward.
Although he projects to be a physically dominating prototypical power forward, Ratcliffe still has a ways to go before coming into that role. He’s only listed at 205 pounds, so needless to say he needs to bulk up a bit before reaching the NHL.
