A 19 year old in the NHL is a rough equivalent to a 15-year old in the OHL, so it has been interesting to watch the relative progress of Morgan Reilly and Sean Day.
Sean has 2 goals and 8 assists and is -26 with Mississauga Steelheads (Team +/- is -51 GF/GA), while Morgan has 1 goal and 10 assists in 31 games with the Leafs, and is a -6 on a team with a -6 GF/GA. As a Reilly comparison, note Seth Jones (Popeye's son) of Nashville also has 11 points, and is -14 in 38 games. Jones has played more minutes but also been on the ice against tough competitors.
Look for both Reilly and Day to lengthen their stride in 2014.
