I don't think it's logical to consider any 15 year old a non-prospect if you are a general hockey fan on a message board. Now if you were an agent whose livelihood depended on making sure the player could make you money in the future off of playing hockey at the pro level, I could to some extent see the logic in saying "I have no time for X kid because he looked bad in WSI", but I still think you'd be ruling out a kid who the eye test shows is clearly talented. it's one thing to talk about kids at 15 as potential pro prospects, whatever. It's another thing entirely to dismiss them off stat-watching as 'non-prospects' particularly from over-hyped tournaments you haven't watched when many of them aren't even done with puberty
I don't know, whether WSI is overrated or not, but even if we ignore it, there are probably a few dozens Russian kids, who have better PPG in Russian major U16 (for 2004 kids) leagues, than him, and I'm sure, those leagues are at least on par with that HPHL league.
