When we were comparing Oleksiak's stats to other defenders, I never really considered breaking down his season like Farkas did:

He has 21 points and a plus-27 rating in 28 games with Niagara after just 11 points in 31 Saginaw games. He seems to be growing as a player by the day.

Farkas seems to insinuate, I think, that Saginaw didn't want him joining the rush, and Niagara is a better team overall where collecting points is probably a bit easier. Still, that's an impressive jump in production regardless of the possible advantages he received in Niagara.
I'm really stoked about Oleksiak in the OHL playoffs.
