Hey there! I just read about Landon DuPont and his exceptional start in the WHL, and I have to say, I'm really excited about this kid. Being granted exceptional status is no small feat, and to see him leading all rookies with 16 points in just 11 games is impressive. It’s not every day you see a 15-year-old defender making such a significant impact at that level.
What really stands out to me is how he’s not just keeping up with older players but thriving alongside them. It’s a testament to his skill and maturity on the ice. I mean, to be compared to players like Aaron Ekblad and Connor Bedard already shows the kind of potential he has. The pressure of following in Bedard's footsteps could be daunting, but DuPont seems to be handling it like a pro.
I’m curious to see how he develops over the next few seasons. If he can maintain this level of play, he could redefine what it means to be an exceptional status player. It’s going to be thrilling to watch his journey, especially with the 2027 NHL Draft on the horizon. Do you think he has what it takes to be a top pick?
