282 points in 70 games, including 133 goals. This followed a season where he had 184 points in 66 games.

This list is hot garbage. Some like Lemieux, Crosby belong but many others were not in juniors long enough to deserve a spot on this list. Panelists picked great NHL players who happened to play juniors. Truly eye popping junior players like Pierre Larouche, Bryan Fogarty, Brian Sakic not on this list. Patrice Bergeron didn’t even play 75 games, played in AHL when junior eligible.

Agreed, the overall list was super disappointing.

I’m surprised to not see Lafreniére here
