AIH did a lil comparison of production for all Jets at or under the age 20, for WHA, 1.0 and 2.0, and they use regression to negate differences caused by how scoring was different in different years/leagues.
20 year old Burmi was 7th in production (the top 3 were all Hawerchuk seasons and 4th was this year for Kane) and 2nd for +/- (Kane this year being tied for 1st with 82/83 Mullen)... To me that shows he has potential (doesn't guarantee it, obviously). Oh PS this puts him above 19 year old Doan.
Also, they compared all D regardless of age... And it put in perspective how really good Entsrom and Buff are in production and +/- relatively speaking.
I don't think top six, bottom six, matters. I think this team will be running four potent lines. I don't think we'll have a line with an all star on it...outside of Kane and we don't need one if the team is built right.
