false

True. Both in their 2nd year eligible (without the excepional status) season.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

True. Both in their 2nd year eligible (without the excepional status) season.

False. McDavid had 99 points in 56 games in his draft -1. Lafreniere has 92 in 50 in his draft -1.

False. McDavid had 99 points in 56 games in his draft -1. Lafreniere has 92 in 50 in his draft -1.

True. McDavid was an exceptional status player playing in the OHL as a 15 year old. His 2nd season in the league was at the same age (16) as Lafreniere's 1st.

Lafreniere is a late birthday, he's going to be a 2001 born player (like Cozens, Dach, Newhook, etc.) drafted next year with the 2002's because his birthday fell after Sept 16th.

McDavid
15- OHL
16-OHL
17-OHL
18-NHL

Lafreniere
15-Midget
16-QMJHL
17-QMJHL
18-QMJHL

 

[Patmac40]

McDavid was only 3 months older than Lafreniere in his draft -1 season. It’s a pretty close comparable for each other’s each statistically at least

 

[Thebesthockey]

should be

Lafreniere
15-Midget
16-QMJHL
17-QMJHL
18-Europe

 

[ricky0034]

Yep, that's why it really isn't even comparable. 1.5 PPG at O is probably worth at least 2 at Q.

the Q has been a lower scoring league than the O for 3 years in a row now

 

[ijuka]

the Q has been a lower scoring league than the O for 3 years in a row now

And Liiga has been a lower scoring league than NHL for even longer than that. Your point?

Just compare the type of players scoring high in OHL vs QMJHL and what comes out of them.

Overagers?

OHL top 5 in scoring: 4 overagers (3 undrafted), 1 late 1st round pick in his D+2 year

QMJHL top 5 in scoring: 3 overagers (undrafted) 1 late first round pick in his D+1 year, Lafreniere

I've watched him a lot. He doesn't stand out as much as a McDavid MacKinnon or Hall. When those guys had the puck there was a wow factor. It's just not there with Lafrenierre. YET. But at the end of the game he has four or five points. Kid is gonna be great but when he's in town you have to look for him on the ice. Rimouski has a good team overall. They could upset some bigger teams if Lafrenierre and Ellis are at their best.

So a french Canadian forward ,likely going 1OA to Ottawa,what could go wrong.....lol

Thats an apt description for Taveras when he was in junior. No highlight reel wow factor, just consistently getting to all the right places and knowing what to do.

I get where you’re coming from, but I seem to have a lot of memories of Tavares turning guys inside out and upside down. JT definitely had some flair.

What I meant more was the speed flair that the oft quoted MacKinnon and McDavid had. It always came across as "quiet" points.

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

and there it is, 100 points, 102 actually with 3 assists so far tonight. 57 games to hit 100, not bad for someone not even eligible for another year

 

[Jabba11]

I would pick him 1st overall this year as well. Over Hughes and Kakko.

This kid is a gamer.

Don't understand the French Canadian part of this statement?

I think he’s referencing Daigle?

 

[canuck2010]

I think he’s referencing Daigle?

lol thank you.

 

[Bob Barker]

If he says something about no one remembering who is drafted after him, I'm thinking the Sens trade down or just pass on him

Anyone can find a link for that? I can't seem to find any video where Daigle said that. Was that recorded?

"doesn't stand out as much as...", euphemism for; didn't skate fast enough for you around the ice

- "jokes" aside, he isn't flashy & super speedy type of highlight reel machine, doesn't need to be with his high hockey IQ and skill level.

Can't find a video but there are tons of articles referencing that quote.
