Thanks for clarifying tips! And if I actually had that much time to sit and make a top 260 and attend games like these guys, I’d gladly make that list just for you princess! As for the “epic” career, how did that work out for him???! My point exactly!
The facts are clear. How many games have you attended this year and watched yourself? Did you actually watch 2 of the bottom teams play against each other? How many scouts did you see in the stands at that game? The Marlboros tournament is a prime example. Top teams play, everyone in the building is watching, including every scout. Great, you can evaluate top end talent, but the truly exceptional talent is playing elsewhere, not surrounded by a bunch of “superstars” or a Hall of Fame NHL coach or not having his parents slip someone an extra few K in the parking lot to make a team. I’ve been around this game for over 40 years and the process has changed drastically. It’s no longer about heart and talent, it’s about who can put more money in your pocket.
I appreciate the effort put in to the list, but what about the kids who are listed and suddenly gone?! You ever think about their feelings or how much this actually means to them? Or the emotion and excitement that’s suddenly ripped from under them thinking the might hear their name called?! Or you too busy researching and living in a reality world with Pamela Anderson?!
