You can also include Slaf in the 2022 and 2023 season. I have not seen many 18 years old kid finish a NHL season with a injury.

Jack Hughes didn't have any injuries in his 18 year old season, but then...

To be fair that season was cut short and he hasn't played a full season since lol

This is why the Sharks are load managing Smith and Celebrini... Just haven't seen it with Celebrini since he already got injured, but we'll see him on development days through game 41.

Same as Carlsson last year... Makes sense, and data shows teenagers can't handle 82 games right away.

Exactly, playing in the NHL at the age of 18-19 is very hard. You also don't want the kid to have a major injury.
