Five years ago--- maybe even three years ago, he's a lock for a contract.
But like I said, we've got too many guys under contract as it is. That's another reason I'm not thrilled about signing Glendening.
Take a look at the percentage of kids getting contractsl
11 - 7 out of 8, with one (Hudon) still to be decided
10= 5 out of 6, with one (Marshall) still to be decided
09- 7 out of 7
08 - 3 out of 6 (only Nyquist appears to have a future with the Wings)
07- 3 out of 5 (Smith and Andersson left in the org)
06 - 5 of 7
05 - 5 of 9
04 - 4 of 8
03 - 3 of 8
02 - 5 of 10
01 - 3 of 7
00- 5 of 11
99- 1 of 6
98 - 3 of 11
Clearly -- we're signing more prospects than every before. Competition for contracts is more fierce than ever.
