You forget Cale Makar came from that "development league" (AJHL)......so you can find talent there too...and of course many many stars of the OHL,QMJHL and WHL Nd USHL fail to make the NHL or are marginal if they do...Point is good talent can cone from any league...another point is that it is how prospects develop after the draft that determines their nhl careers or not ,so we will have to see if Hardibg continues to develop agaibst better competition...
But to offhand suggest just because he had to pkay in the AJHL to start this season makes him suspect as a prospect is nuts..
Let us just see how he adapts to the NCAalevel now before passing judgement...
But at least he has the potential given the size,and seemingly good scoring ability shown so far albeit at only the AJHL level.
Let us see how he plays at this next level..
