Just for fun I wanted to look at similar performing AHL players and the opportunities they've had.
Over the last three seasons (19/20 to 21/22) here are the PPG scoring leaders in the AHL for U-25 players that have played at least 40 AHL games, and scored over .825 PPG.
Drake Batherson: 1.227 - 93 NHL Games
Josh Norris: 1.089 - 87 NHL Games
Alex Barre-Boulet: 0.974 - 31 NHL Games
Lane Pederson: 0.962 - 35 NHL Games
Logan Brown: 0.947 - 39 NHL Games
Noah Gregor: 0.930 - 79 NHL Games
Riley Damiani: 0.915 - 1 NHL Game
Justin Bailey: 0.887 - 15 NHL Games
Jack Dugan: 0.875 - 0 NHL Games
Owen Tippett: 0.870 - 78 NHL Games
Thomas Novak: 0.868 - 27 NHL Games
Tyler Benson: 0.867 - 24 NHL Games
Matthew Phillips: 0.863 - 1 NHL Games
Taro Hirose: 0.859 -33 NHL Games
Janne Kuokkanen: 0.857 - 85 NHL Games
Gabriel Vilardi: 0.848 - 71 NHL Games
Michael Bunting: 0.845 - 61 NHL Games
Julien Gauthier: 0.841 - 71 NHL Games
Cole Perfetti: 0.837 - 3 NHL Games
Glenn Gawdin: 0.835 - 9 NHL Games
Morgan Geekie: 0.825 - 72 NHL Games Played
There is a longer list of guys if I included guys that only played 20-30 AHL games but most of them are NHLers now, which is why they played so few AHL games.
The only guys that have played fewer than 10 NHL games with that type of point production in the AHL playing 40 or more AHL games.
Riley Damiani: 1 Game - 21 years old - 60 AHL Games
Jack Dugan: 0 Games - 23 years old - 48 AHL Games
Matthew Phillips: 1 Game - 23 years old - 161 AHL Games
Cole Perfetti: 3 Games - 20 years old - 49 AHL Games
Glenn Gawdin: 9 Games - 24 years old - 167 AHL Games Played
But yeah he's had ample NHL opportunities to make an impression.
