Notes
Seventy-three points, 18 goals and 55 assists, in 63 games as a 16-year-old defenceman, then 23 points in 18 playoff games as Everett won its first WHL championship and reached the Memorial Cup final. Four assists in the gold-medal game of the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in August. He was granted exceptional status to play in the WHL at 15, the first defenceman ever given it, then left for the University of Michigan a year early. The clearest number-one defenceman projection in any class since Schaefer.
