In the WHL playoffs, he had 13 goals and 33 points in just 19 games.
And now in the Memorial Cup Playoffs, in just 2 games, he has 5 goals, 3 assists...including 4 goals yesterday's game to send Kelowna to the Memorial Cup Championship game.
Obviously it doesn't tell how good he is going to be in the NHL, but man. This 5th round pick looks to be a major major steal for the Stars.
Here's the story from last night's game.
