I'm not doubting the kid's skill or abilities. The clips I have seen of him are very impressive. But playing 70+ games of major junior + tournaments has a different effect that playing 48 games of Tier II against weaker competition + tournaments.
Yes, full agreement there. The WHL is easily the better league than the BCHL. The league doesn't make the player.
I'm saying that Jost is a better player than every draft eligible from the WHL. Playing in the BCHL has no effect on this, it's extremely apparent.
He's currently 1 point away from being the top point producer in Canadian U-18 history, on a team where the rest of the guys from the CHL look 3 steps behind.
Jost and Fabbro went so high in their bantam draft, even with their plans on going the NCAA route, because they were heads and shoulders above their peers. (With respect to Bean)
