Some really good names being thrown around

He's taken a very similar path/jump to Tomasino. His draft year was also similar in his even strength production was very strong and he was looking at a big jump in minutes and role.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

He scored 46 and 47 tonight

Luke going for #50 tonight! Leads the OHL in goals. Dynamic player, you guys will love him. Just be patient.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Led the entire CHL in goals, shots on goal and in shots on goal per game this season

Is the season over for them?

I think they have one more regular season game and the playoffs after that. Last time I checked, the Knights were the 2nd seed.

London Knights STH here....
With Evangelista, you guys got a steal. This kid flew under the radar because he's not flashy. He should have gone 1st round.
He's a high-skill, never-quit fighter. Great in corners.
London's coach Dale Hunter plays veterans. Period. And yet Evangelista played first unit PK, which told us how much coach trusted him.
He's got great hands and his head is always up. Great vision and smart, smart, smart. A coach's dream player.
He plays tougher than his size and he is still filling out. A late bloomer.
Big thing we liked about him is that when he wasn't getting played in his first year (he was only getting into 1/3 of the games, and even then, only 2 minutes a game) he never quit. The offseason, he said he punched in and put in the work. And when he came back for his sophomore season, he was a beast out there.
Earned his way onto the top line of a team that had 9 NHL draft picks on the roster. Never saw PP time, but still was a PPG.
We love this kid - mature, positive, never quits.
In a couple years, y'all will be wearing his jersey. Enjoy.

This guy was onto something..

Hopefully he can snatch the Calder trophy out from under Bedard's nose next year.

They've already got that one stamped. It couldn't even be close for him to win it

Hey, Connor McDavid didn't win the Calder... they can unstamp it if needed.
