Vancouver has a player who is following a development curve.
Alex Grenier
Drafted 90th Overall in 2011
Played his 1st pro season in the Austrian League (4 games @ AHL)
Over to the ECHL for a season
Played the last 2 years in the AHL
Lots of people think he could earn an NHL spot next year, and Canucks management have been high on him as of late.
My concern: The ECHL is full of guys riding the bus/long shots to make the NHL. I think you would need to have a good leadership group in place with your ECHL affiliate to help groom these players into professionals, and help groom them for the AHL essentially.
