Petan also seemed to regress in junior after getting drafted. I didn't see much of him from then aside from world juniors, but the numbers are weird: his scoring peaked at 17 years old, at 46 goals, and then he scored just 15 goals at 19 with the Winterhawks.
The dynamic of that team changed a lot in 3 years, as it usually does in junior. That last year was also when he scored his most goals in the playoffs
Dumais has already proven that he can carry an offense - Petan was only a high scorer alongside other top scorers and then fell off when they left. I'm sure we can find a better example though of an actually dominant junior player that didn't make it as a regular in the NHL.
