Bio

History: 

Won a silver medal with Canada West at the World Junior A Challenge and was picked player of the game at the CJHL Top Prospects Game after scoring five points to lead Team West to an 8-1 win over Team East. Was rookie of the year in the MJHL in 2009-2010.

Scouting Report

Scouting Comments: 

The Lightning take a penny stock in the form of O'Donnell, who is a skilled player committed to North Dakota of the WCHA.

Strengths: 

O'Donnell was one of the top twenty scorers in the MJHL as a rookie and has a solid skating stride and good vision. He's also shown a well-rounded two-way game.

Weaknesses: 

Level of competition. O'Donnell hasn't played at nearly the level of many of his draft day contemporaries. He'll really need to elevate his game to make an impact with North Dakota.

Projection: 

The Lightning will have a good four or five years, depending on when O'Donnell enrolls at North Dakota, to allow the centerman to develop and improve. He's a prime example of a sixth round flier the team hopes pays off.
