Warhippy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 NHL ENTRY DRAFT Cole Candella is quietly becoming the leader on the Bulldogs' blue line this season. (Brandon Taylor/Hamilton Bulldogs) Home Player Profiles Cole Candella – The Next Ones: NHL 2016 Draft Prospect Profile MARCH 10TH, 2016 BY ANDREW FORBES Cole Candella 2015-16 Team: Hamilton Bulldogs (#20) Date of birth: February 13th, 1998 Place of birth: Fort Erie, Ontario Ht: 6’1″ Wt: 189 lbs. Shoots: Left Position: D NHL Draft Eligibility: 2016 1st year eligible Twitter: @cole_candella THW The Next Ones Ranking (February): Unranked Other Rankings: THW War Room Rankings: Honourable Mention ISS: Unranked Future Considerations: Unranked Bob McKenzie (TSN): Unranked Craig Button (TSN): Unranked HockeyProspect.com: Unranked Pike’s Picks: Unranked Consensus: Unranked *** Cole Candella is quietly making a name for himself on the Bulldogs’ blue line. (Brandon Taylor/Hamilton Bulldogs) Candella was drafted by the Belleville Bulls in the second round of the 2014 OHL Draft – 23rd overall. While he struggled to adjust to the OHL game in his first season with Belleville, recording just six assists in 60 games in 2014-15, Candella found the next step to his game this season. With the Bulls’ move to Hamilton – becoming the Bulldogs in 2015-16 – Candella’s notched four goals and 20 points in 37 games. While his minus-12 is not the most impressive stat, it can boil down to the overall play of Hamilton this season. Candella was forced into a leadership role on a young blueline after their back end mainstay, Justin Lemcke, went down with aninjury. While he’s taken advantage of the opportunity offensively, Candella’s game in the defensive zone has also been exposed slightly. He’s a big body that isn’t afraid to go into the dirty areas. He should be able to grow into a two-way defenceman with a powerful shot from the blue line – and has the ability to control the tempo of the game with his puck possession skills. NHL Draft Projection: At only 18, Candella still has a lot of time to develop his skills further. However, the 6’1” defenceman has the all-around skill and physicality to be a solid shutdown blueliner. While he’s not one of the top defensemen in the draft, Candella should have his name tossed around early in the fourth round. Quotables: Candella is a second year defender who has really stepped up in [Lemcke’s] absence to take control of a young defense corps. A jack of all trades kind of defender, Candella has been showing a lot more offensively in recent weeks, and as his confidence grows, so will the production. With good size and a well-rounded skill set, he’s certainly a candidate for a top three round selection. Brock Otten, OHL Prospects Statistics: Strengths: Speed Puck Control Physicality Defensive end play Under Construction (Improvements to Make): Offensive awareness Quarterbacking the powerplay NHL Potential: While Candella does have to work on some of the smaller points of his game, he’s quietly made a point to become a late third-round pick in the NHL draft. He likely won’t slot in as a defenceman on the top pairing, but could make a solid three or four if he can hone in on his ability to see the ice and control the tempo of play. He could grow into a solid powerplay quarterback with quite a bit of offensive upside. NHL Player(s) Comparison – Tyson Barrie Risk-Reward Analysis: Risk: 2.5/5 Reward: 3.5/5 Fantasy Hockey Potential: Offensive = 6/10 Defensive = 6/10 Shots From the Slot: Candella has shown an ability to stay out of the box while remaining a physical asset to the OHL’s Bulldogs. While he’s just started to show his offensive skill in the OHL, Candella recorded 54 points in 60 games with the Minor Midget Vaughn Kings in 2013-14. He loves to rush the puck up the ice and says he looks up to defenceman like his favourite player – Drew Doughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanstorm Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Another left handed D? Come on... we're already stacked with them. Edler, Hamhuis, Hutton, Nikta the tree, Sbisas Pizza. and drafting Ollie in the 1st. could of traded the pick. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Takes CDC to throw their arms up in the air and get heated over a 5th round pick. The Canucks have had some luck with drafting defensemen in the 5th round in the past, let's hope this kid is another great pick. He sounds like he could have gone higher Quote Candella scored four goals and 20 points for Hamilton, while also being tasked with playing against the opponents number one line. He is a good skater, with strong edgework and pivots. He has great mobility in both directions, that really helps him be a two-way player. Candella has good stickhandling ability, and can skate the puck away from fore checkers and out of danger. He is also a very good passer, both in starting the transition game and acting as a power play quarterback. Defensively, Candella has good positioning and awareness in the defensive zone. He could be even better if he develops more of a physical game. He is not afraid to be physical in front of the net, or in the corners, but could be a bigger hitter. This may come with added muscle.
