Overage WHL defenseman Eric Johnston's move from the Moose Jaw Warriors to the BCHL's Vernon Vipers raises some interesting questions. Is this a sign of a trend of WHL players opting for the BCHL in their overage season? Could this be a better developmental path for some players, offering more ice time and a different style of play? Or is it simply a case-by-case scenario based on individual circumstances? I predict we'll see more of these moves in the coming years. What are your thoughts? Is the BCHL becoming a more attractive option for overage WHL players? Share your insights and experiences.
