You monster
Pretty bad and pointless, but whatevs.
Although neither one will likely ever do much in the pros, it's kinda funny/sad to see Wesley get a contract while Kyle Jenkins who has a better skillset, and has been constantly better in the same league, gets sent back into the draft.
Shame he didn't fall a little closer to the tree. A Glen Wesley type of player would be a really nice fit on this team right now.
Lots of posters here had a negative opinion of this kid from the get-go...many simply because of his name.
I know people feel he was drafted because of who his Dad is...and this maybe/probably played a part...but all the pissiness over the drafting/signing is over-done.
He finished 111 in central scouting his draft year...so the 4th round pick wasn't some crazy over-reach.
I'm looking forward to see how he does next season.
No one is being pissy. He simply hasn't been very impressive since being drafted. What kind of reaction do you expect?
