"Scoring in the juniors is way down this year due to all the top level talent leaving to the SHL this season"

Against

Although many star players have left like Montreal's very own Willy Mack. I believe scoring is down because there are a lot of capped players and goalies on every team making the league much more defensive. This might be due to the large reddit draft that I was a part of. On top of that the established meta from experienced users is not known to all new users leading to some wild builds from new users. Further too this, the large reddit class would have made the bottom end of TPE much lower for all teams leading to a more Top 6 vs Bottom 6 league last year. This year it is more top 9 hockey with many reddit S46 rookies who stayed around hitting peak. Lastly, recency bias might take a part as Nickolas Klaus had a legendary season last year.
