No prospect is a bad prospect. Zetteburg was a 5th round draft pick...

Datsyuk was a 6th round pick and went undrafted in 96 and 97.


Both those guys were once in a blue moon type players though

Ryan Miller was a 5th round pick.

Datsyuk was a small guy and was still doing great in the RSL.

He wasn't drafted mainly for his size because he is, or was a tiny guy at the time. But you see how he is now.

If it furthers his playing career and makes him even better, this will be a great move then.


I guess, but how great can he be if he just quits instead of fighting for playing time and more importantly, earning it? So, the kid was faced with a bit of adversity so he packs his bags and jumps ship? I love the fact that he's doing to the WHL because it's a elite league and much more physical then college hockey but the reasoning behind it i don't like.

trying to maintain civility, but fuck off

Everyones chest thumping that this is such a great move, when reality he's not a big deal. I pay just as much attention as you do to prospects -- yes it is possible, but saying its common place for a good prospect not to get playing time in college isn't saying hes a good prospect. I'm not neglecting the news, thanks for it phil, I was trying to explain to some why this is no blockbuster move.

I dont think anyone's really chest thumping about this move but I like it cause now he'll play more minutes in a better league that plays more like the professional leagues tha he will graduate too. Also now I can see him play up to 20 times in the next 2 seasons. Even more if I feel like making the 2 hour drive to the loops. So I like the move. But I dont think anyone thought it was a "blockbuster" move by any means.

I think, and I believe we all agree with this, that's he'll most likely never be anything more than a career AHL player. Do we all concur?

So, we're gonna lose him in a trade to Vancouver and he'll just wallow in their system? ;)

How many years before Brian Campbell made his $7M a season that is at the heart of the the Hawks being dismantled?
