Klimchuk has 49 points in 39 games after coming back from an injury. Curtis Lazar who is seen as "ripping it up" in the W for a 19 year old has 54 points in 38 games. I would agree Klimchuk is not dominating the WHL but he is having a great season all things considered.
Jankowski you are spot on.

How do you find minutes (ice-time) for the juniors? Do you mean games played? I would hope and think that he would be playing 20+ minutes a game as a 19 year old 1st round pick.
Baertschi had 94 pts in his 47 games as a 19 year in juniors and added 34 pts in 22 playoff games.
That was dominating. Poirier is 28 pts behind what Baertschi was doing after 47 games. Baertschi was on a better team.... and would not have been being relied on as much as Poirier.
Love the PIM and that he might thrive on the physical stuff.
