Comments on: Rangers’ Gordie Clark doesn’t see much talent in the second half of 2012 Draft http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/21/rangers-gordie-clark-doesnt-see-much-talent-in-the-second-half-of-2012-draft/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 19 May 2013 06:07:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: lostpuppysyndrome http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/21/rangers-gordie-clark-doesnt-see-much-talent-in-the-second-half-of-2012-draft/comment-page-1/#comment-81776 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:23:48 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=778793#comment-81776 IMO, it might be a good thing that expectations aren’t sky high on a lot of these prospects. They’ll experience less pressure to make it from the get-go and consequently, I’d assume, be able to develop and improve without having constant media distractions surrounding them. There’s a whole bunch of good, hard-working kids this draft, as in every draft, and while many won’t pan out, there will be those who do. It’s presumptuous to call these guys a “sorry lot.” I know I’m excited to see what happens this year.

Most haven’t even played in their first NHL game yet. Look at the 2010 draft, there are several players missing from my list below that show good promise and still haven’t seen the NHL yet, will soon, or in the next 2 years

Granlund / Kuznetsov / Coyle / Tinordi / Bjugstad

Granlund, high prospect
Kuznetsov – top prospect, staying in KHL
Coyle – High prospect, deveolping
and so on and so on.

Let’s wait another 2-3 years before we say anything… The only draft we can start to look at is the 2008. Be patient, your not a scout and don’t see 99% of these kids play. Give them time to prove you / others they are quality players and their years draft was good or bad. Can’t just take the top guys who were busts or calder style guys

Isles already have three ELCs from last year’s draft, for example, and may have at least one more before the off season ends.

At least in Germany and Switzerland there are maximum numbers of foreign players per team/year in place…

That is where they will end up playing if at all.
