Scored 1G=1A in 3-0 Burnaby win over Surrey last night...now 50G+34A=84pts in 39GP for Burnaby this year...
This kid's the real deal. Best player to come out of Canadian Junior A since Dany Heatley.
Don't buy the "Well, it's only the BCHL" routine. When I look around the league, I see a lot of really good players who played Canadian Junior A hockey. He'll shred the NCAA next year.
When I see a 17-year-old kid put up 50 goals in a league where he's two or three years younger than a lot of players, I stand up and take notice. Imagine the numbers he'd have if he didn't lose three weeks of the season to the World Junior A Challenge.
I watched him in last year's RBC Final, and I watched him at this year's World Junior A Challenge. He is the best player in this year's draft.
