Does anyone have highlights from his last two WHL matches?

Kid is going to be a star, PPG next year isn’t out of the question.

15 years and late birthday. Looking forward to seeing what he's capable of at WHL in 24/25

Already has 3G, 2A in 2 pre-season games. He may have a massive year.

I could see him scoring 50 goals and having 100+ points quite easily he is electric out there and is just a guy who produces a ton of points.

He looked really good this afternoon and makes so many smart subtle plays. Little bit of Benson to him

 

[macbowes]

He has sky high potential, could be the best 2008 born player if he can grow to 6'+.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

How tall is he right now? How does he skate? And does he play center?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Hes around the 5'10 mark. Great skater and NHL level release and shot. He does play center but it wouldn't shock me to see him play on the wing during the season

As someone with absolutely no bias on this matter, WHL is starting to become the best league for Canadian talent over OHL the last five years. Seems like there’s a new kid every year, whether Bedard or McKenna or now Jacobson. Q is far far behind and it’s getting sad at how few players they’re producing.

And it won't get any better. It's a vicious cycle where Q kids don't have anyone to look up to, and subsequently don't want to be hockey players. They haven't produced a top goalie in a decade, and with MAF retiring, closes a chapter on always having a great Q goalie for Canada.

It's kind of shocking how little the province has done to support junior hockey development.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't know if this is going to be a hot take, but I'm not that impressed. Passenger type of floaty winger. Has some scoring skills, but size/skating are only okay. He'll probably be a late first or early second round pick after scoring a million junior points, but I don't see a player who looks like a future early first round pick from him.

 

[Bubbles]

3A tonight. Starting to heat up. More impressive that he and Turko play on essentially their 3rd line.
