Where are they now? Silvertips’ 2014 bantam draft class

A look back at the entirety of the Everett Silvertips’ 2014 bantam draft class with name, position, round taken and overall pick number:

Jantzen Leslie — defenseman — first round (15th overall)

Leslie played just four games with the Silvertips before being shipped to Saskatoon, along with a second-round bantam pick in 2017, in exchange for 19-year-old defenseman Brycen Martin and a third-round pick in 2017. The acquired pick turned into forward Nathanael Hinds, who was part of the package to Kamloops in the blockbuster trade for Ondrej Vala and Garrett Pilon.

The Lloydminster, Alberta, native is out of the WHL entirely after playing for three franchises and posting just seven points over 108 career games. Leslie currently plays for Red Deer College in the Alberta Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Bryce Kindopp — forward — third round (49th overall)

The 19-year-old forward was a breakout performer for the Silvertips over the 2018-19 regular season with 39 goals and 33 assists entering Friday.

Nick Henry — forward — third round (59th overall)

Henry did not report to the Silvertips, reportedly because he didn’t jive with the Silvertips’ play style under longtime head coach Kevin Constantine, and eventually was traded to Regina for a sixth-round pick in 2016 (which turned in Dylan Holloway) and a second-round pick in 2017 (which turned in Jackson Berezowski). Henry eventually signed with the Pats and forewent a scholarship offer at Western Michigan University.

After competing in a Memorial Cup with Regina last season, Henry, a third-round pick in the 2017 NHL draft that was recently signed by the Avalanche, was traded to Lethbridge along with Golden Knights prospect Jake Leschyshyn in a blockbuster trade in November. He owns 51 points in 42 games entering Friday.

Brian King — forward — fourth round (82nd overall)

The Golden, Colorado, native left the Silvertips after the 2016-2017 season to accept a full-ride scholarship from the University of Alabama to study mechanical engineering and German. King scored 27 points in 122 points in his two seasons in Everett.

Ryan Anderson — forward — fifth round (103rd overall)

Anderson appears to have walked away from hockey. He last played for the SSAC Athletics Midget AAA squad in the Alberta Midget Hockey League in 2017.

Jake Christiansen — forward — fifth round (105th overall)

Christiansen has developed as a top-four defenseman for Everett the past two seasons. His 12 goals this season is fifth amongst Silvertips skaters and leads all defensemen, entering Friday.

Connor Dewar — forward — fifth round (107th overall)

The Pas, Manitoba, native is Everett’s captain and leads the Silvertips with 79 points in 58 games entering Friday, a year after he emerged as a point-per-game player as an 18-year-old and was drafted in the third round by the Minnesota Wild in last year’s NHL draft.

Riley Sutter — forward — sixth round (125th overall)

He’s been out since Dec. 29 with a lower-body injury, but Sutter is Everett’s No. 1 center when healthy. The Capitals’ third-round pick in the 2018 draft is sixth on Everett this season with 27 points, despite playing just 38 games.

Wyatte Wylie — defenseman — sixth round (128th overall)

The Snohomish County native has developed into a force on the Silvertips’ blueline during his three-year career in Everett. He leads all Silvertips defensemen with 46 points this season, entering Friday, and was drafted by the Flyers in the fifth round of the 2018 NHL draft after posting 31 points last season.

Carson Dimoff — forward — seventh round (143rd overall)

Dimoff eventually went the college route and enrolled at St. Lawrence University. He boasts four points in 27 games in his first season of NCAA Division I hockey.

Brendan Studioso — forward — seventh round (147th overall)

Studioso is currently with the North Iowa Bulls of the North American 3 Hockey League, a Tier III junior hockey league based in the United States. Studioso, a Mukilteo, Washington, native, played with Wylie with the Everett Jr. Silvertips and with the Dallas Stars U16s. He committed to play Division I club hockey at Arizona State in March.

Blake Berquist — forward — eighth round (169th overall)

Bergquist hung up the skates a couple years ago to pursue baseball after a stint with the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes U16, where he played with Dimoff and former Silvertips player, Luke Ormsby. He’s currently playing outfield for Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa, and is hitting .235/.381/.294.

Nathan Knoepke — defenseman — ninth round (191st overall)

The Burnsville, Minnesota, native is playing for the University of Nebraska-Omaha and has collected a goal and four assists in 33 games. He played two games at the University of Minnesota, but left the program after playing just two games as a freshman.

Matt Anderson — defenseman — 10th round (213th overall)

The Shakopee, Minnesota, native is in his second season with the University of Minnesota-Duluth and has boasted 11 points in 69 career games.

Reid Hill — defenseman — 11th round (253rd overall)

The Duluth, Minnesota, native last played for the Janesville Jets of the North American Hockey League, where he accrued seven points in 42 games last year. He recorded an assist in one game this season, but is no longer listed on the roster.
