Why did it take so long for him to sign?
No real reason to?
Side note. Congrats to Akil for hitting 100. Still one more game to play tomorrow.

That is just more reason to send him back to junior. He should not be playing in the NHL next year. Let him dominate another year and play at the WJC.Seems like a surefire 1st rounder in a re-draft.....really nice production numbers.
Does anyone think he has a chance to make the kings next year since they are in a re-build?
I had him over Ylonen.
I'm not disapointed by Ylonen but I'd prefer Thomas.

I wouldn't say surefire. His numbers adjusted for age aren't significantly better than they were a year prior (1.39 in 2019 (at the moment) to 1.28 in 2018). He may move up because of shown consistency, but it's not like he wasn't producing as a draft-eligible and exploded the next year. His production level is just slightly above what you would expect it to be.Seems like a surefire 1st rounder in a re-draft.....really nice production numbers.

We will see how many actually stick at the dot. None of those guys are sure-fire centers at the NHL level. A lot of them were actually expected to end up on the wing when drafted.LA is going to have a very good centre core in a few years with Thomas, Vilardi, Anderson-Dolan, and Kupari duking it out. If they land Hughes in the draft they are going to be dangerous offensively.
what ?I wouldn't say surefire. His numbers adjusted for age aren't significantly better than they were a year prior (1.39 in 2019 (at the moment) to 1.28 in 2018).

His numbers when age-adjusted aren't dramatically different.what ?
I think going from 1.19 PPG to 1.62 PPG is significantly better.
As well all know, assists are terribly overrated. Though he might have hit +40 goals in a fully healthy season in contrast to just 22 goals last year.
Is this HF boards’ newest argument ? Age adjusted ?His numbers when age-adjusted aren't dramatically different.
Well, if you are going to say someone's numbers should dramatically improve their draft stock, their age is significant when looking at CHL production. Players production is expected to consistently improve in the CHL, given that almost all the players are between 16 and 19.Is this HF boards’ newest argument ? Age adjusted ?

What am I missing, I see his Pts/G at 1.62, which is 5th in the OHL and #2 for all D+1(Just behind Barrett Hayton), and up from 1.19 and goals to 38 from 22? I think by any reasonable standard that is a significantly better than expected jump in D+1 production. Now, he plays on a loaded Niagara team so that would certainly account for a good portion of that jump so maybe that is what you are referring to?
Sorry, I am not following, adjusted for what?
Adjusted for age. Over a decade ago, I built regression models in an attempt to predict NHL success. Factors of statistical significance were age, PPG and adjusted proportion of points vs team goals. This model does not support Thomas having star potential.Sorry, I am not following, adjusted for what?
He should definitely make canada and have a big role if it was me. He should be a top 6 rw in the pros and kinda be a marner light in the 40-60 point range depending on usageSo what is exactly is this guys upside ? Does he make team canada ? How good will he be in the pros?
