In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord ServerWatched Yager in Brandon a couple of weeks ago. The kid is light years ahead of his peers on the defensive side of the puck. Great reads, always on the right side of the puck, etc. I left wondering whether he will score goals at the NHL level. He'll be a decent playmaker, but will he score goals. If he was pushing 40 goals this year, I'd say not worries, but he'll be lucky to get 30. He really wasn't a threat to score that game and muffed a few of his opportunities.Yager just keeps plugging along, another 2 assists last night. He's essentially pacing the same points per game on auch lowering scoring team in Lethbridge that he was on the offensive powerhouse that was Moose Jaw last year.
I am not. Both are having better than expected seasons. There’s still room for growth and development with both as is the case with all prospects. I take the positives they’ve shown and continue to build on that going forward.Are we concerned that Walton and He have cooled down a lot?
True, and He especially has game that's very suited for the pro leagues in his ability to forecheck, win puck battle, drive possession, etc.I am not. Both are having better than expected seasons.

Now Barzal wasn't a prolific goal scorer in jr hockey either, so he might be ok, but it's the one thing I'm hesitant about. That, and is weight. Will need to fill out a bit. But his play with and without the puck is elite at the jr hockey level.
He definitely didn't show an elite shot that night, though maybe he's battling an injury or something that could hinder his shooting.Yager's shot/release is elite. I don't think he'll have problems scoring in the NHL
I note on eliteprospects that he is not signed for next season in the KHL. Hopefully he’s thinking about coming over here.
I think he makes the team before next season's playoffs.Not much need for him on the Jets and he’s not leaving the KHL for the Moose so I imagine he will stay in Russia.
