Dmitri Zavagorodny's stats aren't really that impressive for his size and age. I think CP overrates him a bit.
Phillips and Gawdin had much more impressive numbers during their last years in the CHL. Although Zavagorodny has yet to play his 20 year old season.
Poirier is as productive as Zavagorodny was at the same age, despite being a defenseman. However, Zavagorodny did look great in the training caps. Seems to be pretty clutch. Ryan Francis's numbers are better than Zavagorodny's if you account for age. I wouldn't be surprised to see Francis put up 100+ points for Cape Breton at some point.
