![]() ![]() Even Mitch Marner and Johnny Gaudreau have been 30+ goal scorers in multiple NHL seasons, while they were also much better at scoring goals in junior/the NCAA than Voit has been in the OHL. Goal scoring will never be Voit's strength, so that's not the biggest problem, but a mostly offensive skilled player is not going to be given much of a chance in the NHL if he flat out cannot score goals. First, Voit actually had fewer goals (24) than the previous season (26), despite being a year older and "better", and despite firing 26 more shots on net in the same amount of games. There are a couple of specific stats that it's worth pointing out. Here are all 24 goals and notable assists from Voit's huge Draft +2 campaign. Finished the regular season with 24 goals and 105 points in 67 contests. #LeafsForever prospect Ty Voit cracked the century mark en route to finishing second in OHL scoring. He was still playing on the top line and top powerplay unit, but the linemates Voit could sling passes to were much better at finishing. While he improved his point totals by 25, he was also playing with a much better supporting cast around him. They had a breakout from Nolan Burke, who led the team in goals, finished 2nd in the league in goals (50), and earned an NHL contract from Washington.īut this all hints at some of the context it's important to keep in mind when talking about Voit's gaudy point totals. Through the season, they also loaded up on top OHL stars like Christian Kyrou, Ethan Del Mastro, Luca Del Bel Belluz, and Sasha Pastujov. They brought in a pair of solid additions from the CHL import draft, and bumped Voit to the wing – his more natural position. Sarnia had their eyes on being competitive for the OHL championship. He had a breakout season in the OHL after being drafted, and got invited to Team USA's World Junior camp – though he didn't make the final cut. Ty Voit's 2022/23 season is a lesson in contextĬoming into this season, Voit had a lot going for him. The thing is, as often happens with prospects, the hype got a bit ahead of itself. ![]() That's a slight exaggeration, but you get my point. ![]() He was another hidden gem that Kyle Dubas had unearthed in the draft, a testament to his drafting genius. The end result of his first full OHL season was a good amount of hype from Leafs fans. On the other hand, Voit can handle more of the perimeter with intelligent reads, stick checks, speed and playmaking to get those two the puck. In an ideal world, Voit could play on the wing with players like Matthew Knies and Fraser Minten who are bigger, able to take the physical brunt of forechecking, offensive zone cycling and in the defensive zone. At PPP, we bumped up his T25U25 ranking from 18th to 12th, and this is what I wrote in his profile: The hope with Voit is that his skill with the puck is enough that he can provide value on, say, a third line in the NHL one day. He was primarily a playmaker, slinging passes and creating scoring chances for his team with his puck handling. That was good for 8th in the OHL, but he finished a bit better when it comes to even strength and primary points. He also had a breakout season with 80 points in 64 games. He became their #1 center, he led their top powerplay, and he played a lot on the penalty kill too. The following year, he was the focal point of a rebuilding Sarnia team. Voit played a bit in a little tournament meant for OHL prospects, and he did well but not among the very best. This was the season where the entire OHL was shut down the whole year because of the pandemic. He was picked by Toronto in the fifth round of the 2021 draft. Let's establish where Voit began this season as a player. A recent history of Ty Voit going into this year ![]() Let's look back at Voit's full 2022/23 season and talk about how he has developed as a hockey player, and what that might mean for his future as a Maple Leafs prospect. So that must mean he took a big leap in his development to earn that huge increase in points, right? That is a 25 point improvement from the previous year. This past season, Ty Voit finished second in the entire OHL with 105 points in 67 games – which also led his whole team by 23 points. ![]()
