Greentree is an interesting one because he was just OK for Canada at the 2023 Hlinka Gretzky Cup and played his way to a diminished role at the 2024 U18 worlds — after standing out pre-tournament, he seemed to struggle with the pace against the better teams — but he has been one of the most consistent game-to-game offensive players in the OHL the last two seasons. He scored 25 goals and was named to the league’s First All-Rookie Team at 16. At 17, he was named captain of the Spits in his draft year as they began a rebuild and led the team in scoring by a wide margin (his 90 points were 24 more than his nearest teammate) to prove he could drive offense himself. And last season, at 18, he finished third in the OHL in scoring (albeit on a line with Ilya Protas, who finished second) and registered 63 goals and 143 points in 75 combined regular season and playoff games.
