We haven't had a ton of prospects in the CHL in recent years, I think is part of it.
Othmann, Cuylle, and Garand are having very good years. Korczak has been inconsistent, Grubbe has been okay, Vierling has been meh, and then Rempe and Boyko I just don't see it, LOL. But Othmann, to me, looks great, and Cuylle has an impact every game. Garand plays for a stacked team but has still looked terrific when they need him to be.
The past few years I've basically only watched the AHL and NCAA (and the Europeans to an extent), but this year I'm watching a ton of CHL games. The CHL guys, Berard, and the AHL from time to time.

Checked Wikipedia—Jared Ross played 13 regular season and 9 playoff games for the Flyers.
Yeah the second paragraph I was just talking about the CHL guys. Berard is doing really well, too. Kjellberg and Kempf are also having nice seasons relative to expectations in the NCAA.
Brody Lamb had 2 assists which were his first points in several games. He only has 8 points in 16 games in the USHL which is disappointing. He's still young for the league by about a year relative to average, and he's a project, but I was still hoping to see him scoring at a better rate than that.

Othmann, since returning to the OHL, has 24 points in 16 games, contributing to 42.8% of his team's goals.
For reference: Connor McDavid in his final OHL season contributed to 37.4% of his team's goals.

Is this factoring in McDavid playing 20 fewer games than the rest of his team because if not, c’mon man

Of course not. Just trying to start a debate

Thanks for the update. I've been interested in Lamb's progress since he was picked in the draft.

This is a bad hockey team.
Very unlikely. He's not the kind of prospect that should be rushed. He's a fifth rounder who just turned 19 two months ago.

Berard's progression to this point reminds of Jones'. It's seemingly exponential.
First year they had minimal roles but made big impacts and made WJC teams that they really had no business making.
Second year they become way more effective on teams that are much stronger, culminating of course with Jones' team winning the NCAA championship with him in a leadership role.
Third year remains to be seen for Berard of course but Jones is laughing at the AHL and the only reason he isn't in the NHL is that we really want our best trade chip to get his game going
Idk just me noticing parallels where they aren't lol

Talking to scouts and people close to him, I think the "secret is out" so to speak and we might see him turn pro sooner than expected.
Berard himself though, is really excited about playing with his brother Brady who joins Providence for next season. Berard staying his junior year always felt like the obvious choices but it's hard to turn down that ELC with a juicy bonus.
Jones was smart by negotiating them having it kick in immediately, giving him 185,000 dollars in signing bonuses alone in just 3 months. If Berard can be persuaded the same way, don't rule it out.
The biggest difference between the two is their age though. Jones was an early birthday and among the oldest in his draft class, while Berard is one of the youngest. Berard is roughly the same age as Jones was in his freshman year.
Berard is one guy I wouldn't worry about staying an extra year. It's an extra year of physical growth for him before making the jump.
This changes if he pulls a Stepan and just demolishes college hockey the rest of the way.

On Berard—the openings are going to have to be there for him and for the next couple years anyway I don’t see how he fits onto the Rangers as a winger when you see guys like Gauthier and Hunt starting to contribute—and Blais returns and when a Pajuniemi is beginning to put up points in Hartford and when you have others like Othmann and Cuylle who will also be knocking on the door. Berard is going to have to fight his way past a lot of competition.
Othmann had a goal and two assists. His team lost 4-3 but he was the first star. Nine SOG. He's up to 14-13-27 in 17 games.
Yeah it's really crazy. Get the guy a big time center and he'd be a top five scorer in the OHL easily, IMO.
he’s tied for 7th in points per game in the O with out a top center so he’s basically already there.
