Because that is not the only factor. There are hundreds of guys that put up over 1 ppg in their CHL draft year... and guys like Lucic that are essential core players that had 19 pts in 62 games their draft year.
Ryan O'Rielly who the Flames wanted for their #1 C had 66 pts in 68 games his draft year.
Pts in your draft year in the CHL (or any year in the CHL) are not the only way to predict success in the NHL.
