Every CHL defender taken between pick 25 and 55 :
27. Nicolas Beaudoin - 21 points in 19 games.
31. Alexander Alexeyev - 30 points in 26 games.
36. Jared McIsaac - 21 points in 20 games.
37. Jett Woo - 20 points in 22 games.
41. Bode Wilde - 22 points in 21 games.
53. Calen Addison - 30 points in 28 games.
My comment wasn’t negative at all. He’s doing what he needs to do to justify his draft position and remain a solid prospect. If he can’t score 50-65 points as a two-way defender in his draft+1 year, he shouldn’t have been a high 2nd round pick.
But that's too simple of point of view to just look at stats to assess their d+1 progress.
Beaudin and Addison are both smaller d men who are much likely to depend on point production to make the NHL.
Both McIsaac and Wilde are imo performing better than most people expected.
Wilde on the prospect board is being called a steal.
Woo is having a very good season.
I would say even defenseman drafted in the mid to late first (15 to 30overall)
If they score ppg after draft that's more of less in line with expectations.
Thing about Jett Woo is that he's not even supposed to be a high point getter in the pros. If he becomes a 20-25 pt d man who can defend and offer a physical presence that's a decent 2nd round pick.
Right now he's showing there 'might' be more to that ceiling.
