Why so few WHL kids?
6 of 24 forwards are WHL? (10 OHL players for comparison, 11 if you include Tavares; 6 from the Q)
5 of 17 defenseman are WHL? (8 OHL players for comparison)
That is a solid ~40% extra from the OHL over the WHL.
Is the WHL looking at a weak crop of players this year? I know the leagues each cycle differently from strong to weak and am curious if this reflects a weaker period for the WHL coming up? Or is it some other bias? Just random?
