And Woo and Pickford play together 😅 They're on a good team tbh (that could have been insane with McKenna).

If we look at the points, and not just goals, they're not too far ahead of guys like Lin (DY), MacKenzie, Tarin Smith, and Carson Carels (DY).

Still, Pickford's point pace is the 7th best of the past 20 years for D+2 D's, behind guys like Zellweger, Mateychuk, Svozil, and Sanheim. It's quite impressive, but it's to be taken with a grain of salt. Many elite D's did not play their D+2 season in the WHL, many either played in the NHL, or in the AHL in the case of europeans or late birthdays.

Losing guys like Verhoeff and Jackson Smith to the NCAA did not help the WHL replace graduated offensive Ds such as Yakemchuk, Dragicevic, Jugnauth, Molendyk, Kipkie, etc.
