F Gavin McKenna - Medicine Hat Tigers, WHL (2026 Draft)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

When you choose to ignore birthdates, you've already made a choice. The stats will, or should, always favor the older player. Particularly in the standard development chl model where some 1st time draft elgibles are 3rd year players, and some 2cnd year players. Thinking it's not a factor is just burying your head in the sand.

I don’t think I said ignore birthdates, so I’m not sure what you’re arguing against.

1G, 2A tonight. His goal was very nice, top corner. Should have had 2 more assists if Ritchie didn't miss 2 empty nets.
