I believe he's no longer draft eligible. He should get a pro contract when the year is overIt still keeps baffling me, how he went 2022 and 2023 drafts undrafted, if he goes
undrafted even this year...
in his last 180 games or so, 50 goals, 125 assists, 175 points, +12,
115 penalty minutes, almost 500 shots on goal.
its not like he is some small o-minded d-man
5 foot 11 (181 cm), 195 lbs (88 kg)
in todays game, that's a decent size, bigger what both Makar and Hughes
sure those two are on a complete different level, but still, also
its not like he is a bad skater or his shot is weak
2022, 2023, 2024I believe he's no longer draft eligible. He should get a pro contract when the year is over
But he has gone undrafted in 2022 and 2023
Nope. According to the rules, if you're a late birthday North American, you're only eligible for 2 drafts. 2022 and 2023 for him.2022, 2023, 2024
November 2003 born, so his first draft was in 2022, his second draft year was 2023
and 2024 is his third
why? i have never heard of that kind of rule before. when did they implement that one?Nope. According to the rules, if you're a late birthday North American, you're only eligible for 2 drafts. 2022 and 2023 for him.
It's been the rule for as long as I can remember.why? i have never heard of that kind of rule before. when did they implement that one?
okay.It's been the rule for as long as I can remember.
You haven't been able to be drafted as an overaged NA player for a long, long time. The only way you can be eligible is if you were drafted your 1st go around and not signed, like Ben Roger was recently.why? i have never heard of that kind of rule before. when did they implement that one?

Other than Jansen Harkins (somewhat of an AHL\NHL tweener) few players have been drafted from Prince George.
Someone more familiar with the WHL could explain why.
Comparing him to Zloty? Not even close. Zloty only got assists and hardly scored. Thornton had more career goals in one season than he had in two years. Thornton is more physical and has better vision and an NHL shot! Thornton also defends so much better. Zloty just benefited from a stacked team while Thornton has put up numbers even when PG was weak. You may also want to compare his even-strength goals and assists before you just say he plays powerplay. Thornton penalty kills as well(zloty) NEVER... Thornton has pro potential and someone will take a gamble on him. Especially if he leads PG far in the playoffsI mean, that’s literally exactly what he is. The average NHL defender is 6’2 210. Just because you can find some guy that’s tinier doesn’t mean he isn’t small.
He’s a nice PP QB at this level but there are always a handful of this sort of player in the WHL doing this who just don’t really have much pro potential. Ben Zloty was ‘that guy’ last year.
When a small defender actually has real pro potential it just pops totally different, like with Zellweger the last couple years.
September 16*1980. It’s been the same forever.
Players born Sept 15 - Dec 31 only go through 2 drafts.
Hey George - minor edit here if you don't mind. Replace the word 'what' with 'than' in these sorts of grammatical situations (comparisons)bigger what both Makar and Hughes
