Looking to most productive players in WHL and comparing them to QMJHL and OHL, it seems, that talents level is down in WHL. Is that true?
The WHL is a much more balanced, physical and more defensive league than the other 2(especially the OHL) which results in less goalsLooking to most productive players in WHL and comparing them to QMJHL and OHL, it seems, that talents level is down in WHL. Is that true?

The Whl is dead last in producing top end talent. Most of the busts in the last 10 years are whl players. The ohl, the q, ncaa and Europe all produce far better talent than the whl.
2 out of the top 30 scorers this year are former whl players. One of them is leon draisatl, hardly a homegrown talent. WHL is deadlast in producing top end talent, yet everybody likes to beat up on the q.That's an interesting perspective. The WHL had more picks than any other league in last year's entry draft, including 7 in the first round.

Too bad the whl has never really been viewed as the top league. The us will produce a generational talent before the whl does.Points certainly are one indicator of "talent".
Maybe. 2 of the consensus top 6 or 7 prospects coming into this season were also from the WHLToo bad the whl has never really been viewed as the top league. The us will produce a generational talent before the whl does.
Who is the best whl prospect in the last 15 years? I couldnt even name it?Maybe. 2 of the consensus top 6 or 7 prospects coming into this season were also from the WHL

The Q league the last 5 years oozes great defencemen. Just about every team plays a tough defensive system here. Coaching has become the top quality. Showing great results. How is the coaching out west?Absolutely not true at all.
The WHL typically has more defensively responsible and physical players. The OHL and the QMJHL often times are played with no defense and are offensive affairs where goalies are left alone on constant odd-man rushes. The WHL every year has just as many and often times more NHL draft picks and free agents than the OHL, and certainly many more than the QMJHL.
Looking at points and final scores are probably the worst ways to judge league quality.
