The consistent play of Bo Horvat during the course of this season has seen his stock slowly rising up the draft ranks. Bo Horvat and Max Domi have been the focus for top London Knight forward to be drafted. Domi’s high-end offensive skills and tenacity allowed him to gradually pull away from Horvat during the regular season but Bo Horvat has made it a three horse race for top London Knight prospect. Both Nikita Zadorov and Bo Horvath had steadily climbed into the conversation with strong regular season finishes and strong playoff performances. The Memorial Cup will be the final report card for all three Knight prospects.
Most Scouts describe Horvat as a good two-way player with high end leadership qualities. He is projected to be a top-six forward, probably a second line center. One of Horvat’s biggest attributes is he is a reliable two-way player and a good face-off man. Horvath is a good skater with above average puck skills.
Horvat was ranked 15th among North American skaters in Central Scouting’s final rankings prior to the 2013 NHL Draft. Bo Horvath’s play during the OHL playoffs and the Memorial Cup might elevate him into a top 10 draft position. Look for Horvath to be drafted in the 10-14 range.
