McNiven won the OHL goalie of the year with .915 and 2.30 GAA.
Hart had .927 and a 1.99 GAA.
Call me insane, but i bet if you put Hart in net next year, he would be better than any other goalie we start aka : Nuevy/Mason?Stolarz/FA singing. Remember Mason/Fluery's rookie seasons at 19? I say we let him compete for that spot. Obviously if he isn't 100% ready dont play him. But i think he definitely deserves a look.
And the WHL is a higher scoring league too than any other CHL league.
Incorrect. The WHL was once again the lowest scoring league in the CHL.
Really? Even though it has way more 90+ point-getters in the WHL this year? Were the bottom players that bad?
Barring something crazy he should win the CHL Goalie of the Year Award too. He'd be the first ever to do that.
Next year he'll be aiming to become the first ever goalie to win the WHL Goalie of the Year Award three times.
That would be pretty damn impressive. What's the list of names look like for goalies who won the WHL award back to back?
I desperately want a "homegrown" elite goalie. I hope he pans out.
Can't wait to see what Hart can do next year. Seems Sandstrom and Hart head a strong group of rookie goalies for the Flyers right now.
Anybody with an NHL comparison of Hart? I read Price a little bit on some of these pages, but I can't bring myself to get that hyped about a goalie prospect because I feel as though I'll be disappointed.
The kid is going to be special.
Stylistically, Price is a great comparable. So is Holtby, who has really quieted his body movement the last few seasons (albeit TOO quiet in the playoffs this year). This doesn't mean he will be as good as Price, as style is only one variable. Athleticism and mental strength play huge parts as well.

WHL plays 4 more games per season. The gap shrunk this year, but the WHL was still the lowest scoring league on a per game basis. The OHL actually edged out the Q (ever so slightly) for highest scoring league in the CHL this year.
Not that I doubt the statistics, but this seemed odd to me. I see so many Seattle/ Portland games that always end up being like 6-5, and Hart has to fend off both of those teams.
