So we await two years from now when Jett is in LHV and we get told he is too small?

Jett just made the Canadian Jr team and is projected to be their 3C.
Three players younger (and a goalie), McKenna (#1 in 2026), Martone (top 5 2025), and Schaefer.
He'll be 6'0 195+ next September (5'11 187 last June)
He'll fit right in playing a high tempo, two way game.
I can see them putting him with Michkov.
So he is getting gifted the best player right from the go without earning it..interesting

It's nice that Jett made the WJ in his D+1, it should give him some confidence and will be interesting to see how he stacks up.

So you're not going to accuse us of overrating prospects anymore, right? Yeah? Agreed?

So… Luchanko will be better than Frost “in a year or two” but also will be putting up 40 or so ES points in his peak years?
Frost had 40+ ES points two years ago.

Right now, it would be nice if a guy “too good for the OHL” cracked the top 30 in points/game in the OHL. Putting the cart before the horse pencilling in his NHL ES production.
Kieron Walton was selected in the 6th round this past draft, and he has 51 points in 30 games on a team with 3 more goals scored than Guelph.

Frost's ppg in his D+1 was +0.42 from where Luchanko currently is; almost a point every other game higher.

Please also recall that Ghost was once assessed as a #7 dman.

Frost did play on a better team, but he was also one of the ~5 best players in the OHL. Sort of meaningful for him to lead that top team.
I like Luchanko for what he is — and I do think he can leverage certain traits to outscore his raw talent — but his skill issues from last year look the same this year. He didn’t do anything but crash the net backdoor in his much heralded time with the big club. He can get traded and have an uptick, I don’t really care because his skill level is so visibly average by itself. But a certain someone has to piss on our heads and tell us it’s raining with this organization’s crop of *ahem* championship young talent.
A Top 3 management mistake from the last 5 years.
FYI, Ghost is 3rd in the NHL for total PP points. He definitely has a plus-role on a team with a vision.
