Scheifele, outside of his actual numbers as he's pretty elite, is not some type of outlier.
Dominate in the OHL as a 19 year old. With a handful of games in the NHL as tryouts sprinkled in.
An uneventful but hopeful rookie season as a 20 year old where he was on pace for 44 points before he went down for the season injured.
60+ as a 22 year old. PPG as a 23 year old and now over PPG as a 24 year old. He's improved every year from a solid base as a 20 year old rookie.
