At first glance, there isn’t anything overly impressive about the season that Matt Bradley is putting together. The Canadiens’ fifth-round choice in 2015 has 66 points in 59 games—about on par with what you’d expect from a fourth year junior.
Furthermore, Bradley’s team, the Medicine Hat Tigers, are second-best team in the WHL after Regina, in both points-percentage and goals-per-game. He has points in 22.84% of his team’s goals, which is 6.5% behind the team lead. Chad Butcher (undrafted overager), Mason Shaw (2017 draft eligible), and defender David Quenneville (2016 seventh-round pick of the Islanders), are the unquestioned leaders of the Medicine Hat Tigers.
