Pu dropped.

Forgive my ignorance, but are all those players either in the league of sure to make it soon? Or are some just flash in the pans?

I think the previous 5 years top 20 would be more indicative of NHL SUCCESS.

Here is 2005-2006 OHL LEADING SCORERS. Looks like a lot of also rans and never wases.

Here are the top 15 names that appear on the list at least once:

 

Too soon to know:   Raddysh, DeBrincat, Bracco, Pu, Mascherin,

 

In NHL: McDavid, Dvorak, Marner, Labanc (I believe playing on line with Joe Thorton), Connor Brown, Tkachuk, Domi, Ryan Strome (though may be a disappointment), Trocheck, Konecny

 

Not sure: Andrew Mangiapane - has 12 points in his first 14 AHL games though.

What were their ages? Because a 18yr old scoring a ton is not the same as a 20 year old scoring the same ton

why would you choose 2005-06?

 

seems like ancient history compared to todays scouting? look at the draft back in those days way more hit and miss compared to today.

now that I had to go back and do the work right back to 2005-2006

 

Here is the list of players who outscored Pu at the same or younger age (in no particular order)

 

1) Connor McDavid

2)Taylor Raddysh 

3) Alex Debrincat

4) Mitch Marner

5) Dylan Strome

6) Matthew Tkachuk

7) Patrick Kane

8) Sam Gagner

9) Bryan Little

10) Taylor Hall

11) John Tavares

 

in the famous 2005-06 year only Rob Schremp, Wojtek Wolski, Dave Bolland and Dylan Hunter scored at a higher PPG ratio than Pu and all were at least 19 when the season started. 

 

Schremp turned 20 January of that year, Wolski turned 20 in Feb, Bolland was 19 for the entire season and Hunter was a true overager 20 for the entire season (a Sabres draft pick). 

 

Pu will turn 19 next summer

 

Bottom line is I like his chances to be an impact NHL player for the Sabres.

I think these guys can still be asked to play if there are injuries or whatnot.   Doesn't really mean anything in my book, Team Canada selection process is poisoned by politics.

Agreed. Some of the players invited won't be allowed to go because of their NHL teams.

Might want to check out who Sportsnet feels is the biggest snub amongst the players left off Canada's WJC Camp Invitation

 

http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/wjc-power-rankings-nine-team-canada-selection-camp-snubs/

I liked what they had to say about Pu in the comments section. Can't wait until we are taking advantage of that speed.

I'm not sure what the consensus is, but he's looking like he's got a shot to be your dream bottom 4 defenseman.

Correct. I was simply snarking the "he would have made the team but for injury" meme that emerged over the course of the last year, leading people to think he could be our top-4 LHD answer this season. People got way ahead of themselves with Guhle is all. The concept of Guhle, if you will.

Yes indeedly.

Ok, now That sums it up nicely.

he's actually scoring slightly above Reinhart's draft year pace.

Please, sir. That would be the (inish capped) Concept of Guhle.

 

(Or, maybe, the Guhle Hypothesis?)

The concept of Guhle. And we shall call him Robert.

I watch the London vs Owen Sound game the other day on the NHL Network. He looked pretty good; has some speed, played both special teams, and create a bunch of good opportunities. However, I doubt this kid is NHL ready. He reminds me more of Nylander vs Reinhart. Sadly, he is probably ready for the AHL, but is stuck another year in Juniors after this season because of his age.
