I thought I would look at NHLe of the current top guys in their D+1 years (NHLe derived from Dobber's Frozen Tools);
Z Parekh (as of today) NHLe = 46
Q Hughes = 28
C Makar = 39
R Dahlin = 20 (He didn't have a D+1)
A Fox = 26
L. Hutson = 40
Z Werenski = 27
E Bouchard = 31
V. Hedman = 24 (He didn't have a D+1)
J. Morrissey = 20
In short, I've decided to be pretty excited.

Parekh did this in his 18 year old season. I cannot stress how impressive this season has been. You are right to let yourself be excited.
