I've asked this before, not to be a wise guy, but because I seriously don't know:
Who was the last Dman taken in the 2nd round, that played in the NHL in his draft +2 year?
You are asking him to do what guys like Hamilton and Trouba did, and they were taken very high in the 1st. You just don't see 2nd round Dmen in the league. The closest I can think of is Mirco Mueller who was taken around 20-25 I think, and it was a bad decision that has hurt his development.
not typically no, but from what I`ve been reading about Carlo, I wouldn`t be one bit shocked if he, maybe an O`Gara makes the big club. Now, I wouldn`t put them anywhere other than a 5th/6th spot and I also would expect the prospect to sit upstairs from time to time.
Just wouldn`t shock me at all, but I am one who believes, when the puck drops for the 2016/17 season, we will NOT be looking at close to the same bodies on D that they have now
As for your question about 2nd rounders playing in year 2, no idea, there has got to be someone who has however, you look at Parayko for the Blues, not 100% sure but I thought I heard in the broadcast the other night, them mentioning he`s played less than 25 AHL games, he`s a 3rd rounder I believe?
