To give an example from the CHL leagues based on data from : https://www.quanthockey.com/


in the CHL for 2017-2018:
- OHL: 49 players were at 1P/GP with 68 games in their schedule. Highest points was 115 (4 over 100pts)  ---> Scaled to 50GP = 84pts
- QMJHL: 36 players were at 1P/GP with 68 games in their schedule. Highest points was 116 (2 over 100pts) ---? Scaled to 50GP = 85pts
- WHL: 60 players were at 1P/GP with 72 games in their schedule. Highest points was 129 (9 over 100pts) ----> Scaled to 50GP = 89pts

For goalies (same season)
- OHL: 14 goalies above .900 sv% with 10 at 3.00GAA or below  (out of 36 goalies)
- QMJHL: 10 goalies above .900 sv% with 13 at 3.00GAA or below (out of 35 goalies)
- WHL: 17 goalies above .900 sv% with 9 at 3.00GAA or below  (out of 44 goalies)

Furthermore, the scoring leaders are mostly already drafted to NHL teams and have been tehere for 2-3 seasons in most cases.

I know I'm a bit late to the part here, but I agree with this a lot. I think if we are going to treat the SMJHL like a junior league and not like the AHL, somethings need to change. This is a big one
