Tracey is interesting for a couple reasons IMO.

1 - A little younger for this draft year being 17 for pretty much the entire jr. season

2 - Crazy numbers for what was really his rookie season in the WHL, usually take people some time to adjust to a new league.

His 1.23 PPG placed him 2nd in the WHL for U18 players but most of the other guys were in there 2nd WHL season at least.

Cozens - 1.24 PPG - 60 WHL Games Prior to this season
Tracey - 1.23 PPG - 5 WHL Games Prior to this season
Dach - 1.18 PPG - 77 WHL Games Prior to this season
Bryam - 1.06 PPG - 60 WHL Games Prior to this season
Krebs - 1.06 PPG - 63 WHL Games Prior to this season

Rest of those guys are ranked in the top 10 and from a pure production standpoint Tracey is right there even though he only had played 5 WHL games coming into this year.

Think the biggest concern with Tracey is how much was driven by his older linemates - 80 of his 81 points were generated with Almeida and Langan on the ice.
