I'm interested on final thoughts about Justin Lemcke if anyone cares to chime in.
He wins the "sounds exactly like Chris Tanev" award. McCann's partner:

Players essentially get the same thing from the WHL, though.
For each year a player plays in the WHL, the league pays for a year of post-secondary education at the school of their choice. So for most guys who play 4-5 years, they get a 4 year degree paid for if they don't go pro.
Pretty much every WHL player either goes on to a long professional hockey career or continues on in Canadian University to get a degree.
Wow, I just saw that prospects camp highlight package. Shades of Vanek the way Boeser shoots that puck.
Gonna be a very good sniper

Yup. CIS hockey is pretty much full of guys who played major junior. Lots of guys don't even play their overage year to go to cis.
Reid Gow was playing CIS this year and finished the season with Brandon.

The thing I don't like about the NCAA is they're too restrictive. A kid plays one exhibition game as a 15 year old with a WHL team and he loses any NCAA eligibility.
I'd like to see them loosen that rule.
Comparable or better shot than Virtanen and McCann?
Better than Virtanen, not sure about McCann. Virtanen's shot seemed to be 'off' after his shoulder surgery.

McCann had a harder shot than Boeser and a quicker release. Although Boeser has the ability to find the soft spot in the zone to unleash his quite accurate shot.
