I have similar concerns about Sillinger. Jumping from major junior to the USHL is step backwards to me. It would be like going from the WHL to the BCHL. You should see some improved numbers and some dominance at the new level. Not sure there is enough there considering the change in competition. I would stay away from a guy who made that move IMO. There may be larger translation problems. To me, players should always be pressing forward to find success, not going backwards.
