In 2015-16 he scored 41 goals and 102 points in just 72 games, adding 13 goals and 30 points in 21 WHL postseason games. He helped Brandon to a WHL title before losing all three playoff games in the Memorial Cup, notching just one assist in those three. He built on his rookie year in 2014-15 where he scored 30 goals and 56 points in 55 games before contributing in the 2015 WHL Playoffs with eight goals and 15 points.<\/p>\n<p>This past season, a year in which Patrick was named captain, was a struggle for the 18-year old at the beginning considering his hernia surgeries that repaired at first the right side of his groin. Early in the season, a misdiagnosis omitted that the left side was also damaged. He only got in 33 games, scoring 20 goals and 46 points. This may have planted a seed of doubt in the mind of Devils general manager Ray Shero, who decided to go wth the rise of Hischer.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Changes Due to Winning the Lottery<\/h3>\n<p>General manager <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hextaro01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ron Hextall<\/a> <\/strong>must have great faith in Patrick, as it made <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/schenbr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brayden Schenn<\/a> <\/strong>expendable in a deal that netted the Flyers two first round picks, one of them being conditional in 2018, and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lehtejo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jori Lehtera<\/a><\/strong>.
