very interesting read but it leans heavily on what some players did after the WHL.

Rob Brown for instance is listed at 21

I’m not surprised given the context. Online polls generally carry a fair amount of recency- and name recognition-bias.

As part of the Western Hockey League’s 50th Season celebrations, a panel of historians selected the top 125 players in WHL history this past September. From this list, WHL fans voted at Top50.whl.ca to select the Top 50 WHL Players of All-Time.

Strange pool. Marian Hossa at place 41. For only one, good but not spectacular season. Why not Ronald Petrovicky? And only 2 players from Europe (Pavel Brendl)?

Well his WHL career was second to none. Plus he had a pretty good NHL career too.
