Eric Cornel is our 18th best prospect.
Before getting to a guy some had as a first rounder in this draft.
...
I'm sure Edmonton had this same depth less than two years into their rebuild. That must be why people want to compare ours to theirs so badly lol.
Who had Cornel as a 1st round prospect if I am understanding you correctly?
Edmonton did not. Edmonton had high 1st round picks but they did not have nowhere near what Buffal has had in terms of high draft picks.
2012 2 high 1st, 2nd, 3rd
2013 2 high 1st, 3 2nds, 1 3rd
2014 1 high 1st, 4 2nds, 1 3rd. ( in 5 of last 10 drafts 61 was a 2nd so I am counting it as such)
2015 3 1st, 2 2nds
Buffalo accumulated 10 extra high pics.
Through trade they acquired Hackett, Larsson, Fasching, Carrier
What are the odds Compher goes pro after his sophomore season?
I thnk Compher turns pro 75% after this year 25% after junior year
Fasching turns pro 95% after this year 5% after junior year
I think the team also will be trying to get Florentino to turn pro after this year because they lack Dmen depth at AHL level
They want Hurley and Petersen to turn pro after their sophomore year. Both can pull the 30 day UFA stunt after their junior year.
They expect Possler in 2 yrs for 16/17 season
Bakes was using 24 years old and I think 70gms to graduate guys. At least thats what he listed (70gms) for Girgs graduating. Pysyk is right there with 63gms and would have graduated had he not been sent for that development stint last year.
Foligno seemed to have graduated....isn't he 23???
