W Zac Funk - Prince George Cougars, WHL (2021 Undrafted; signed by WSH)

[Artorius Horus T]

i thought he had a thread, weird, but https://forums.hfboards.com/threads/consolidated-prospect-list.2764521/#post-172316932 showed no such thing... anyways...

20 (turning 21 later this year) triple over ager, became the first player this season to hit 50 goals in the CHL/WHL - i know a random, nobody player (probably), who also probably goes to either USports or to ECHL/AHL but yeah


51 goals, 90 points, +40 in 53 games for the Cougars. - leads the WHL/CHL in goals and is second in points

that 51 goals has really come from out of nowhere, considering.. prior to this season,
he didn't even have 50 career goals in the WHL.

for Calgary Hitmen (drafted #43rd overall)

0 goals in 4 games
0 goals in 8 games
4 goalis in 21 games
22 goals in 63 games
11 goals in 33 games, 12 goals in 31 games = 23 goals in 64 games

He split last season with Calgary and Prince George

3 fights this season

most of his 206 penalty minutes have come from 10 min misconduct, 5 min fighting major

Not really.

There's always an overager that has a fanastic final year. Ironically, Chase Wheatcroft was on the same team last year and did the same thing. Dallas signed him.

Before that,, Arshdeep Bains did the same thing and the Canucks signed him. I think he's making his debut this weekend.

So I definitely see an NHL team throw a contract at him. You're getting a free asset and if it works great, it works. At worst you have a guy that can play on your minor team right away.

Another Westerner signed! Good to see more NHL teams take gambles like these.
