He has dominated with poop linemates.

He also grew a ton and added weight since his draft year.

And his weakness at the draft was his shot...and since his line mates are poop he was forced to use it and now has a pretty lethal release.

Wait until him and Amirov poop on teams together at the world juniors.

All jokes aside, it'd be interesting to do a comparison of the major junior leagues per NHL conversion rate.

I was hoping this would be a comical post, but it's not, it is a sad reality... Trump will win in 2024.... Tumbleweed's will unite.

I’m not sure it will work (more young, educated voters every year), but another four years of Trump as President would have (frank)ed that country over bigly.

Meh, then it becomes the Gretzky(OHA, now OHL) vs Lemieux(QMJHL) debate again

Nah. This isn't about subjective "quality". This is about objective numbers.

It's pretty simple:

QMJHL provides the goalies.

OHL provides the forwards.

WHL provides the defencemen.

At least that's how it worked 30 years ago.

ok, but for what time period? Are you talking about players that played more than 1 game in the NHL? More than 100 games in the NHL? More than 1,000 games? Players that scored more than 1 goal in the NHL? What about goalies?

I'll hang up and listen. Thanks for taking my call

Not quite a Gretzky v. Lemieux debate any more, is it?

How about these data points:

- From 2000 until present day
- Players must have played more NHL games than minor league games combined (e.g. NHL > AHL + ECHL + Euro)
- Players + goalies

Awaiting your return call.
