Puempel is doing just fine. Only 2 rookies have more goals than him in the AHL.
I expect him to have a big season in the AHL next year and maybe earn a call-up in the second half of 2014-15.
That 2011 draft is looking pretty fruitful:
Zibanejad
Puempel
Pageau
are all almost sure-fire NHLers
Claesson is looking better and better.
Prince is still a solid looking prospect and Dzingel and McCormick are both looking like they'll at least be good for Bingo in a year or two.
I feel that draft will be one of the most successful ever for a single team. Zibanejad Noesen (not on the team but will still make it to the NHL) puempel prince pageau claessen mccormick dzingal..and then fransoo is the one that didn't work out. Seems as though mccormick and dzingal will both be playing for Bingo. Having a whle draf class turn pro is pretty special. All have an impressive skill set.
