F Shane Wright - Kingston Frontenacs, OHL (2022 Draft)

[ijuka]

Wright is leading his team in scoring........ as a 15 year old. What more do you want?

Did you read my post? I think it was rather clear.

Lafreniere was 15 too, forgot?

A Finnish passport obvi!

Yeah, Lafreniere has one. As we all know.

Lafreniere started his rookie season at 15 and turned 16 shortly there afterwards. It's his b-day today, so wish him a happy b-day. He played 99% of his rookie season as a 16 year old.

Wright turns 16 in January. There's a big difference.

ssssh don't tell him that, he's trying to make a really dumb point about Lafreniere masked as a dig at Savoie/Wright that is really just about Lambert, who might be the best Finn ever. Just don't tell him he has a Canadian father. We all know where he got that talent from. Amirite? The first half Canadian, half Finn to kill Finland. Or really the first good player, because he's half Canadian to kill Finland.

I believe the QMJHL still generally has a higher goal per game rate then the other two leagues.

I am pretty sure the OHL is a higher scoring league then the Q at this point.

Some of the guys at the top definitely score more but overall it's a lower scoring league I'm pretty sure. Haven't seen a study done in awhile.

OHL teams averaged 3.7 goals a game and the Q teams averaged like 3.2 last year. It has been a myth about the Q for like a decade now.

All in all, this is just a three months difference.

A big difference? It's just 2 months and 3 weeks.

You consider an April birthday and a January birthday a big difference, too?

Even if the OHL is higher scoring, for whatever reasons, OHL scoring translates better to NHL scoring than the other 2 CHL leagues historically. Probably due to the fact the OHL tends to have the largest pool of players given the size of Ontario, the States it has the rights to, and the likelihood of those American kids reporting compared to the WHL and QMJHL.

Even if that's the case pretty much all equivalency projects project OHL and WHL scoring as more directly translatable to the NHL then QMJHL scoring. All the leagues tend to have ebbs and flows of talent but more often then not the QMJHL tends to have the lowest.

I feel sorry for Wright. Kingston's track record for developing high-end prospects is pretty ... uh ... dreadful.

 

[93LEAFS]

All in all, this is just a three months difference.

Since Canada does leagues by birth-year it does impact the competition these people played at early on until someone like Wright was bumped up a year.

So was Erie's (Basically ROR and Boyes prior to McDavid). Once McDavid came there they pumped out a bunch. Strome, DeBrincat and Dermott. Not that Wright is likely to be McDavid tier.

Didn't Erie actually make a conscious effort to improve in that regard? Not to mention, Erie's had strong teams in the past with guys who became NHL regulars on their roster prior to McDavid. I look at Kingston and I see the same complacent ownership/management group that's been there since forever. Every so-called "high end" player who has come through Kingston turned out to be much less than what he was supposed to be (Bennett, Crouse, Gudbranson, A. Stewart, Emmerton, etc.).

If Wright becomes a star NHLer, he'll have done so in spite of who he played for and will have bucked a massive trend.

what is all this posts about Lambert? I do not think he is anything special

Erie's had the same ownership for years. Taylor Hall refused to report there which is why he slipped to 2nd Overall.

Kingston has been disappointing, but things can quickly change. But I agree, their high-picks have not lived up to expectations considering the best of their top 5 picks has been Gratton who was a good player but never really got past being a 2nd line center and spent most of his career as a 3rd line center.

2 goals tonight including the overtime winner for Kingston's first win of the season

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Almost a ppg start for his OHL career as a 15 year old rookie. Holy hanna!, he really is the real deal.

+ 11 SOG and was a 4/7 in the dot.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

2 pretty dang sweet goals against Niagara. I like his play making skills too, a lot.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

4 goals, 2 assists, 6 points in his last 5 games.
At Face-Offs: 8/14, 4/8, 4/14, 9/15, 4/7 = 29/58 (50.0%)

 

[Artorius Horus T]

1 primary, 1 secondary assist in period 1. +1 and 3/4 at face-offs.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

1.00 ppg player at 15 in the OHL... not bad.

Savoie has 0 points in 3 games and -3 thus far. Shane has 4 goals 5 assists in 9 games now. We can start to understand why the CHL decided to grant only one exceptional status. Shane is more mature and was ready to do this full time. CHL is the best league in the world and it takes a special talent to be able to do what Shane is doing. Today he had 2 assists in a very crazy game vs Ottawa losing 8-7 in OT but what a game !!
