Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
O'Dell was playing junior "A" hockey when the 2007-08 season began, having committed to play at St Cloud State University starting in the fall of 2009. However, after the OHL Oshawa Generals traded his rights to Sudbury, O'Dell determined that major junior hockey was the correct path for him, and he joined the Wolves in January 2008. In 26 regular season games with the OHL team, O'Dell posted 32 points (14 goals and 18 assists). He lead all Sudbury rookies in scoring and was 15th overall among rookies in scoring, even though he played less than half the games of most of the other first year OHLers.
2007-08: Drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the second round of the 2008 NHL Draft, 39th overall.
2008-09: Traded to the Atlanta Thrashers in the deal that brought Erik Christensen to the Anaheim Ducks.
Talent Analysis
A rising star in the OHL, O'Dell has outstanding hockey sense and a pro shot. In addition, his puck-moving skills are good, and O'Dell has very good on-ice vision. O'Dell needs to add weight and build strength, as well as work on his skating, which is average at best.
