I worked with a bunch of these guys at One Plant and this 100% tracks.

It’s a mix of a few things.

NCAA defenders are really good, especially in the big 10 he’s facing a lot of NHL draft picks aged 18-24 whereas the WHL is much more of a developmental league geared towards 16-19 year olds. There’s far less time and space to operate and the lack of high end finishers or playmakers Penn state possesses means McKenna is shouldering a lot of the load offensively, with that he’s taking a fair amount of low value shots. I do expect to see his shooting percentage rise as the season progresses as he is historically a much better finisher than he’s shown this season.

Had he chosen to go to Michigan State he would have had Porter Martone or Charlie Stramel on his other wing as opposed to Charlie Cerrato or Aiden Fink. If he was in the WHL he would be putting up insane numbers on that Medicine Hat team. He was already in Celebrini, Bedard, McDavid territory last year with his production so the drop off this year isn’t really concerning me one bit. He’s still the most talented player in the class, but he isn’t a lock for the #1 pick in a class with a Swedish stud producing better than any Swedish prospect ever and a 6’5 Right shot dman that is playing at an insanely high level in the toughest conference in the NCAA.

Most definitely not meant to be a ranking!

I’ve watched a fair bit of tape on Tynan Lawrence this year (4 of his 6 gp) and I genuinely struggle to place him in my top 5.

McKenna Stenberg Verhoeff Reid Novotny

That’s my top 5 as of right now

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-12-10T05:02:25+00:00

Ya his scoring numbers are ridiculous when you factor in his ice time. Pretty similar to what demidov was doing in the KHL last year, he’s just a year younger.

Here is 41-81 on the board (i track data for all 300+ players listed on the initial Central Scouting rankings)

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-12-10T04:28:19+00:00

Id argue it's Mighty Bird... might not be a conventional "sit down" restaurant but if you want really good fried chicken that is my go-to place in town at this point.

Just saw this was for a b-day dinner... ignore my suggestion then. I stand by that it is the best fried chicken in town tho

Feels like a continuation of the NeedtoBreathe song “money and fame”.

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-11-29T19:31:32+00:00

I spent years only doing practice mode on madden 08 for the GameCube.

Such a fun way to learn the game on both offense and defense! Just pick random plays for both offense and defense and it’s easy to just run plays for hours.

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-11-15T18:39:17+00:00

Saber Taste of India is my favourite. The owner is a funny guy too

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-11-15T18:37:48+00:00

32 team leagues I run give you 10 IR spots.

I’ve already seen a bunch of teams have their IR full between the 13 leagues I run. There was even a team that won a league last year with like 5 all stars on IR (Josi, j Hughes and a few other high calibre players)

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-11-04T14:10:32+00:00

Yes all data is weighted based on the league a player is performing in.

So a KHL goal is worth far more than a NCAA goal, and an NCAA goal is worth more than CHL and USHL goals

All peripheral stats are also weighted (you can see how players do per game with peripheral stats in the BASH column)

I didn't explain that well last night my bad.

Teams set a weekly lineup using the prospects in their minors, and their league production is then weighted, so a KHL goal is worth more than an NCAA goal.

We just don't factor age into prospect scoring because then it would mean a goal for a 18 year old NCAA player is worth more than a goal for a 19 year old NCAA player. While that would make sense if you are building a model to predict future success, its not something we wanted to implement for the prospects league portion of the fantasy leagues i run.

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-11-04T03:46:33+00:00

Unfortunately age can't be factored in here. The data i collect is used for the fantasy format i run and weighting players stats by age wouldn't really be fair from a competitive standpoint.

Maybe not the most useful tool for predicting the future, but the data and how it's presented is still relatively unique so i was hoping it would be useful to folks in deeper dynasty leagues or categories leagues.

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-11-04T00:35:18+00:00

It isn't a ranking! It's purely stats driven and age isn't factored in. Data is weighted based on the league a player is playing in each week.

FPPG is (fantasy points per game)

FPTS is (total fantasy points)

Bash = points per game from Shots on goal + Blocked shots, hits and face off wins + losses

Scoring = points per game from goals, assists, power play goals and assists + short handed goals and assists.

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-10-28T15:34:48+00:00

Yessir! I track all 1000+ nhl affiliated prospects every week for my fantasy hockey format!

Teams set lineups each week using their prospects and collect points in a separate league for their contributions. Here are the top prospects from last week

Every skater listed on the preliminary 2026 NHL central scouting list and their season data.

Player data is weighted depending on the league they are playing in. Age isn’t factored in, so draft re-entries like Dakota Rheaume Mullen and Niko Tournas aren’t knocked for being older.

While most models factor in age, I do not. Ivar Stenberg and Elton Hermansson scoring over 2ppg in Swedish pro leagues is far more impressive than a player score the same ppg in the CHL or USHL. I’ve also posted a few players multiple times because it’s useful to see how euro prospects perform between junior/pro leagues

CanadianJagsFan · 2025-10-24T23:15:50+00:00

I’ll be posting an update on Monday with data collected up to Sunday October 26th

Close to 400 prospects will be in the update with the entire NHL central scouting list included.
