2. Jesse Blacker, Owen Sound Attack (Toronto Maple Leafs, 2nd round, 58th overall, 2009)
49 GP, 10 G, 37 A, 47 PTS, 66 PIM

The six-foot-one Toronto native has shown plenty of promise to lead the hometown fans into hoping that he can transition his superlative offensive game to the professional ranks.

Blacker's offensive totals have increased significantly in his third full OHL campaign. Originally signed by the Windsor Spitfires, Blacker joined the Attack last year and made an immediate impact on the Owen Sound blueline.

Despite starting slowly in Windsor (one assist in six games), he caught fire with the Attack. In 48 games the team last year, he accounted for 30 points and 62 PIM. This season, he's already exceeded those totals in an equal number of games this season.

Blacker showed promise last season in a six-game call-up with the Toronto Marlies, following Owen Sound's elimination from playoff contention. Although he only accounted for one assist in limited ice time, he managed to finish the season even in terms of plus/minus -- no small feat on a team where most regulars found themselves on the wrong side of that ledger.
