In a draft class lacking prospects up the middle, Dellandrea is pegged as a potential under-the-radar steal that could fall to the middle of the first round.

Dellandrea is a relentless worker who brought a dynamic two-way game to the table every single night despite playing on a Flint squad that finished second last in OHL standings and dead last in goals scored this season.

While his team struggled to fill the back of the net, Dellandrea had himself a solid offensive campaign, racking up 27 goals and 32 assists in 67 games. Praised for his hockey IQ, speed, and ability to seemingly always be in the right position, Dellandrea has the skill set to become an effective NHL centerman.
