  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Hard to imagine he was drafted prior to the Covid shutdown. But why was it his career trajectory did not go as expected?

Or did it?

Something went very wrong

0 goal in 37 games this year and he is not a goalie
 
Neeed to be back in the OHL for the full 4 years. I know players want to move up as quickly as they can (and I’m not opposed to them playing some AHL games for the experience and development in their D+1 and D+2 years) but many are not properly prepared for the jump. Covid really hurt him when he should have been returned to Sarnia.

Jacob Perreault, Jean-Luc Foudy etc more examples of such cases

I wonder did the lacerated kidney mess up his development in his last OHL season. Also, I don't think he needed extra time in the juniors he lit up the league in his final year, no point in staying. Anyway, the kidney doesn't really make sense because his had like 42 points in 60 AHL games. I feel like the minor league fiasco between the Wolves and Canes messed up his development.

He was really good in his 18 year old season, but didn't absolutely dominate it to the point of where I thought he was too good for the league (like Stankoven was back in the Dub in his 18 year old season). Going back to junior for one more year wouldn't have hindered his growth IMHO.

This was once Craig Buttons dog in the race. Although for valid reasons. I recall him hyping him up during world juniors of course and after.

Oh I think the issues with Chicago absolutely messed up any chance for the kid. I thought he might be able to make it as a 4th line energy guy since he played that style and the Canes had invested a ton into him at the minor league level prior to that season. Being loaned out to another AHL team that had no reason to gaf about his development stifled any further room to develop.

The AHL fiasco, covid and some injuries certainly didn't help but honestly if the kid was meant for the NHL those would only be small obstacles that would've delayed, not prevented, him from making it.

I remember watching the Wolves win the Calder cup in Springfield a few years back and sitting near Rees' family who were all incredibly supportive of the kid. It's too bad it hasn't worked out. At 24 I don't think it will but we've seen crazier things. Rooting for the kid.
