It is why I always roll my eyes when I hear the people talking about some kind of "fall" in Canadian hockey. There was a normal dip after like a decade of Canada producing a ridiculous quality of NHL players...and even then it hasn't been that bad. It is predictably looking like it is swinging back the other way now. Shocker.Honestly the amount of high-quality forward talent coming out of all parts of Canada for the 2019 draft is absurd. I whole-heartedly believe any of Krebs, Dach, Cozens, Pelletier, Suzuki, Lavoie, Parent, etc etc etc (literally can easily think of a dozen more) could be top-5 selections, and the D pool is damn good, too. And then Byfield and Lafreniere the next year, both of whom are probably better than anyone except maybe Hughes? Just ridiculous. Very fun time to be an avid CHL prospect follower.
Man try to catch a game. The kid is fantastic.Has always stood out to me when I watch Zadina highlights. Promising mix of hands+size.
Geez, I keep on forgetting that he’s not even elligible to be drafted for another year!Caught the game last night. Half the Moose minute was dedicated to how well Lavoie has been playing lately. 13 points in his last 5 games mostly without Zadina. Said the scouts are buzzing about this kid. Big strong with good overall speed but also can kick it in and has breakaway speed. Slices through defences with ease and has great balance and hands for a big kid. Goes in corners but is shy of contact at this point. Needs to develop the defensive game. Is quite good on the dot. He takes right side face offs and Somppi takes center and left side face offs. Although it's quite early he plays a game very similar to a young Rick Nash. Xavier Parent is also very talented. These two 2019s are really driving the Mooseheads up the CHL rankings. Just about all of Lavoies goals are highlight quality and has some game winners and overtime markers. Somebody with access should produce a reel. The overall package would be quite entertaining.

Go right ahead, mate! I agree with everything you’ve said here.You either need to post this on the main boards or I will copy and paste this quote. It's why I always chuckle when people say there's some weird downfall of Canadian hockey. Sure, the game is more expansive, but Canadians being the best will never change. It moves in cycles. With the amount of obscene talent that entered from Canada from like 2008 to 2015 (Tavares, Stamkos, McDavid, Marner, Doughty etc), there will be a shortage for a bit. Still way more top end talent than anyone else. Now it's back to another wave after 2016 and 2017 being very non-Canadian top heavy (post 2018 that is, as the top 5-10 isn't Canadian at all in 2018).
