Good read as usual Larry.

That 2016 WHL Bantam draft we knew was special at the time and we're seeing the fruits of that now going into the 2019 NHL draft to stick with your theme.

The WHL has some really strong talent leading the way for Canada which I'm happy to see after a down year from western Canada.
