The thing about the points is not that it projects to scoring in the NHL, it shows a semblance of having ability with the puck.
You see this with Breen when he plays with the Flames. He's big and can skate decently but he can't do anything with the puck so you can never get out of your own end.
You look at Warrener as discussed above... he was an offensive zero at the NHL level but back in his junior days he put up 26 points at age 18 and 39 at age 19. You can give a bit of a pass to Seiloff since he only played one year of junior and could have jumped up in points at 19 if he had played down there (or anywhere) this year, but it is still very concerning.
