The Summary

Greg Mckegg was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2010.  He has been developing in the CHL for the past 4 years, most of which were spent with the Erie Otters and recently the London Knights.  He is a dynamic offensive player who can naturally score goals and has quick hands to maneuver in tight areas.  He is not very physical but is not afraid to get into the dirty areas and he is defensively sound forward who works hard to back check and support the defense. Greg is an interesting Leafs prospect as he was drafted in the third round and is developing into a successful offensive player and his chances of making the Leafs roster appears to be closer to reality. 

The Now
Greg Mckegg is in his fourth season developing in the OHL.  He was captain of the lowly Erie Otters and was recently traded to one of the league's best, the London Knights.  The London Knights are a highly skilled team and this proves to be a great opportunity for Greg to take his game to the next level by being around better skilled players. So far, it appears he has had a lot of success with his new team as he has registered 19 goals, 22 assists, 41 points in 28 games.  In comparison, this season with the Otters, he registered 12 goals, 22 assists, 34 points in 35 games. Gregg appears to be in a very successful environment now and this shows positive signs in his development. 

The Coming Soon

Greg Mckegg looks to be in his last season in the OHL and with his continued success, next year he may be part of the Toronto Marlies.  He will need to get stronger and adjust to faster game pace and bigger bodies as he makes his transition to the pros. He should provide the Marlies with an upgrade offensively and give them some offensive spark with his natural goal scoring abilities.  Greg has the tools to be a solid third line centre for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the next few years as he is able to provide a solid defensive game and also contribute offensively as well.
