Bilecki was a big reason why the Rangers went the distance in the OHL. The 6-foot-2 defender showed some decent offensive upside this year while showing a level of fearlessness that few defenders in the OHL displayed this year.
He boasts impressive mobility and creative playmaking instincts. It feels like he has some room to grow as a puck-mover, but many scouts think he’s going to be a solid bottom-pairing defender.
Bilecki attacks defences, beating the first forechecker with a fake and an explosive change of direction, before piercing right through neutral zone coverages. He creates high-danger scoring chances regularly off the rush,
Assistant GM Judd Brackett on Alexander Bilecki
Brackett: You want winners. That is part of building culture and the room you want. It is not just the winning, too; it’s the role he played on the team. He played top-four minutes and had the chance to win the Memorial Cup. He will continue to build off the success that team had. His role will continue to expand with Kitchener. We are really excited about that.
Alexander Bilecki goes to Toronto at 60 and his boys in the stands ERUPT.
He clearly brought the right fellas. The hype is sky high.

Kitchener D Alex Bilecki has flown under the radar but might be a guy who sneaks into the 1st
He's a magnificent skater, a talented puck mover, a Memorial Cup champ, and isn't fully grown into his 6-foot-2 frame yet. Didn't get to play PP1, so his stats are a bit misleading
