Grachev is playing with Hodgson and Duchene, though. And they're ripping it up.
Let's see...

Essentially, yeah, but more than just Sens fans are raving about Wiercioch's play.
he's also older than most prospects in the draft. I believe this was his 3rd time in the draft.And Zack Smith is, AFAIK, the only player outside of the first round to have made the NHL from this draft.
Euros have no place on the list. CHL and euro leagues are not comparable. And also how Ullstrom can be 0,00 if he has 13 pts in 14 games?

meh, its the other demers i'm more excited about. Julien will be in the NHL some day, mark my words.He's in Ottawa's system and I understand that he has more attention by you, but it was the same case for Demers. Also passed over twice, nearly passed over a third time, he's in the AHL now and has 10 points so far... he is second in points for d-men on his team.
Made the NHL? one game...
Jason Demers (7th round) in San Jose also made it in the AHL. They're overagers, so they could go in the AHL. I believe many 19 and 18 yo CHLers would have made it in the AHL without the rule.
It was only an overview and I did my best. If you're not happy, just make one yourself.
Oh no, not the "he's made it first he's better" all over again Damnit.
The problem with Ottawa this year isn't actual forward depth but scoring depth. The story's a little different if you're going by our forward prospect depth but becoming a top callup after being drafted this year and only just getting his foot in the door in the AHL is pretty impressive on any team.I don't know the guy and I don't want to judge him, but I'm not surprised he played a game in Ottawa. According to some people, this team lacks a bit of depth...
i think the most impressive thing with zack smith is that he was a guy that every team in the league passed over twice. Only after scoring 70pts in 72 games in his final whl season (he had 15pts the year before) did he even garner any attention. For a guy like that to be almost ppg in the ahl has to be impressive.
