We had the
San Jose Sharks selecting Porter Martone of the OHL’s Brampton
Steelheads in our previous mock draft. The 18-year-old right wing remains high on most prospect rankings, sitting atop TSN’s Craig Button’s Nov. 25
listing.
Button was impressed by Martone’s blend of skills, power, edge, and hockey sense, praising his ability to play in any situation. Daily Faceoff’s Steven Ellis compared him to Florida Panthers’ winger Matthew Tkachuk whileThe Hockey News Tony Ferrari considers him “the epitome of highly skilled power forwards.”
Martone saw limited action for Canada at the WJC with 1 goal in three games. However, he’s enjoyed a stellar season with Brampton. The 6’3″, 207-pound Steelheads captain leads his club with 21 goals and 34 assists for 55 points in 27 games.
