The 2020-21 season is going to be a pivotal one for forward Jayden Halbgewachs.
At 23 years old, Halbgewachs has yet to make his NHL debut. It’s not like the clock is fully run out or anything, but Halbgewachs is going into his sixth season out from what would have been his draft year, had he been drafted. He put up just eight points that season for the Moose Jaw Warriors.
Instead, he returned to the WHL for three more seasons, improving to 41 points the following season. As an older player, he put together back-to-back seasons of 101 and 129 points.
