Lubo was a great draft pick. Lead the team in scoring for a couple of years.

Those two seasons in a row when he scored over 15 goals. His shot was deadly at that time. Best I have ever seen him play.

Looking back on the draft, Team USA could be a real force in the Olympics or any other international competition in which NHL players compete in 4-5 years. Looking forward to seeing that happen as well.

USA has had great prospects for a few years now. True sign of hockey reaching into more markets in the US. Given the population base in the states if the NHL can grow the game in non-traditional market the US prospect pool and international teams should benefit greatly.
