Cagnoni had one of the most productive post-draft seasons by a WHL defenseman in decades two seasons ago, putting up comparable or better numbers to names like Olen Zellweger, Josh Morrissey, Kevin Korchinski and Shea Theodore, the last three of which were first-rounders and the first of which was drafted with the second pick of the second round. In fact, he had the most productive U20 season by a WHL defenseman since 1995, almost 30 years prior, registering 90 points in 65 games. He then built on that with an excellent NHL camp with the Sharks and led all U21 AHL D in scoring with 55 points in 70 combined regular-season and playoff games while playing 20 minutes per game for the Barracuda.
