Konstantin Komarek undrafter? WTF guy played in Elitserien 19 regular season games and 12 playoff games. Last years WJC he scored 5 goals in 6 games...
I agree. Not had the best season but plenty of natural talent there.Viktor Berglind
Kuraly was drafted in the 5th round 133rd overall by the San Jose Sharks.
Roman Cervenka again undrafted ... he's by far the biggest name
Sometimes the scouts have off ice intel the rest of us are not privy to making it a shocker non selection when considering on ice performance only.
Well, from the last U-18:
Yarullin stats: 7 GP, 11 Pts (2nd of all D-men), +12 (best of tournament)
Nesterov stats: 7 GP, 4 Pts, +11
Pedan stats: 6 GP, 2 Pts, +4
Nope.Did Jonathan Parker get drafted? I know he was a '91 who had a big breakout year. I kind of wanted Detroit to pick him up and plug him into the AHL next season. I've read he has a great shot. Worthy camp invite?
Not end of world for kids undrafted
Will get invites to prospect camps and have possibility to sign ELC there
Ex. JP Anderson

This is a good point. I actually think it can be a positive motivator for them as well, aka I'll show you.
I've already read about a couple Greyhounds (Kantor&Miller) getting invites to LAK training camp. I've been scouring the net trying to find similar news, but I suppose it is a little early.
Hey RS, I'm a blades follower (also avs fan too, pumped about the Siemens pick) but I know you see them play a whole lot more. Why do you think Benson's stock fell so much? He was a high bantam pick, I know his couple seasons with the blades haven't gone quite as well as was expected but I thought he would for sure still go in round 5 or 6. Think he'll pick up his game more when a few of the older guys are gone next season?
Wow...I guess the last 24 hours have been one big nightmare for this guy.
Maybe so, but you have to think he has more to offer then some duds taken late
I'm going to throw in a little background here as I watched Benson some as a Bantam.
Benson played Bantam on a very strong Weyburn team. 94's Taylor Balog and Derrick Pouliot play on the same team. They were an awesome team as all thee were above average talent and much bigger than average for that age group. Big kids that could play!
It appears they were all early maturing. Benson and Pouliot have grown very little and Balog, once touted as top 3 in the bantam draft, was still playing Midget last year.
I just can't see Benson's type of game translating to the NHL level.
Unless he can put together the breakout year everyone has been waiting for he will play minor pro.
Jesse Forsbeg was another I watched a fair bit. I was disappointed to see he didn't get it together better this year. I wonder if he shouldn't leave the fighting to someone else as it may be distracting him as far as developing the rest of his game?
It will be Interesting to see if it puts a fire under brother Alex, as he also had a disappointing year.

I thought that was why the teams spend the big buck on scouting?I think this is one of the stupidest comments I've ever read, then it continued onto a second line. He is a '93 playing in the WHL - no one knows how any of these kids game will translate at an NHL level.
