I did have him in the early stages of the second round on my final list though, because of how high the scouts had him projected. The kid really does skate and stickhandle like a dream though.
I’m still shocked at how poor his numbers are this year, even despite the fact that he’s probably not getting much ice time on a stacked roster.

I watched him fairly closely in Manchester playing against Denver. There really isn’t much there to like except being tall. BC actually doesn’t have a stacked lineup aside from its first line. That was one of DU’s big advantages, actually, was their depth. Despite the shallow lineup, Letourneau was on their fourth line and they got beat by DU’s fourth line quite badly. Looks like a bust to me unless he develops very late which I suppose is possible for someone his size.
