Offensive Buzzwords
Josh Ho-Sang is an extremely skilled offensive forward that makes difficult plays look easy at times. The ability to make plays at top speed is a skill that sets him apart from other top offensive players in this years draft class. He has a very good hands, reads the play and sees the ice very well. He is also very dangerous in one on one situations. Josh Ho-Sang has elite offensive instincts.

Defensive Buzzwords
Josh Ho-Sang’s defensive game is a work in progress. This part of his game is not comparable with a lot of the other top prospects in the OHL at this stage in his development.
Prospect Analysis
Josh Ho-Sang is a smallish winger by today’s standards at 5’11 and is an offensive dynamo but will have to improve his 200 foot game if he wants to jump into the Top 15-20 of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. I think he projects as a later 1st round selection and could even fall into the second round. Make no mistake about it, whoever drafts Josh Ho-Sang is getting a very talented player with a big upside. Ho-Sang is the type of player that could really be an “off the board” selection and it probably wouldn’t surprise anybody. A dark horse for sure.
