He was at 2.2 points/game going into yesterday's game. As WHLers go, if he were to keep up his pace, it would be one of the better WHL seasons in that regard in the last 15 years.
Edit - now down to 2.18 after last night's 2 assist game.

Small-ish sample size, but it's still the highest PT/G in the W this year. So, by definition, that's really good. The fact that he scored 5 pts in his first 6 AHL games corroborates that this is legit. As does the eye test. Very excited to see him at the WJC and next year.

Shame this kid was forced into the WHL this season. He's obviously ready for pro hockey, even if not quite ready for the NHL.

He has clearly outgrown his league, and epitomizes the glaring flaw in the CHL-NHL agreement regarding AHL eligibility.
So here we are hoping that our best major junior prospect's team has an early exit to their season so he can have a long playoff run with the Amerks. The selfishness therein is further evidence of the absurdity of the situation.

LBI and will be getting an MRI tomorrow. Canada fears his tournament is done.
This kid cannot beat the injury bug. I think it’s time to probably package him up for something out there.

Somebody in the replies earlier said something about him potentially getting injured in a celebration?
It certainly wasn't in the Sweden game. He has one assist - the play where Geekie scored here ( IIHF - LAT - CAN 27.12.2023 - 2024 IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP - Game Centre Play by play ) and there was no celly.
So I doubt it's an on-ice celebration.
Looks like it was getting a two-hander on the knee from Forsfjall in the Canada-Sweden prelim game that Savoie is dealing with. He might play.
NO IT MEANS HE'S INJURY PRONE AND LET'S DUMP HIM WHILE WE CAN
he’s my preferred trade chip whether he’s prone to injury or not so

My vote is to keep him. More strength. More gym time. More time. Not like we are competing this year anyways. Be ready to burst onto the scene next year... hopefully...

Savoie, Yager, Firkus and Mateychuk on the PP going to be pretty fun.

Can you imagine if they had been able to trade Benson, too?
Only one puck though. Having watched MJ in last year's playoffs, they gave the ICE their strongest challenge up until they hit Seattle in the finals.
Swift Current's deal to get Geekie is also a bundle -
