thoughts on finnie from anyone who's watched him lately? saw a few clips, but mostly stat watching. strong finish to the season,
having a good postseason, has the memorial cup ahead. possible sleeper with a good amount of growth ahead?

Talk about a late-bloomer! He wasn't having a very good D+1 season but has exploded. He has a 10 game point streak, and just got 4 goals tonight.
I'm not going to get excited about a draft+1 7th rounder yet by any means but it does make you wonder if this is a guy who could be a late bloomer with time missing from covid and everything.

Kid wasn't even ranked in 2023 (If someone can verify, that would be nice). I guess he impressed at the Memorial Cup.

He's the hottest player in the WHL right now. And you're playing with house money with a 7th rounder.

All that crazy scoring did start, when he was converted to wing.

23 points at 34 games (and -23) as a Center. (0.676 points per game)
22 points at last 11 games (and +5) as a Winger (2.000 points per game)

There hasnt really been any discussion about this kid, but hes exceeding where he was drafted big time. Signed really early for his draft year, and accoring to some announcers in the WHL, is on Canadas radar for the WJC despite how stacked the team is.

8th in points, 7th in goals in the WHL, great defensively and one of the best face off guys in the WHL. I'm curious what WHL/Kamloops fans think of his game this year
