so then let me ask you, they where not passed over once, they were passed over 15 times.
every year there are players like that that get listed and posters say 'they are so good', well, im sorry but dating back 10-15 years, none of these players ever do anything in either the OHL or NCAA.
who was the last kid that became something in the ohl that was meaningful? 4 years ago with mangone? other then him? we may miss one player per year that ends up being a very good player, and thats a high estimate.
so all those players above, will they prove us wrong? or perhaps are there flaws in their game that parents and others cannot see that made them to be not drafted. i can name off some of them as they were in my area, why they did not make my list and i did not see them to be draft picks, but im not sure thats fair to the kid and honestly, im not sure that it matters, there will be another claiming bias or whatever. instead of seeing those flaws, its easer to complain, its sadly the mantra of parents these days. never my kids fault, even if it is( and fault is harsh, playing aaa at that level alone is one hell of an accomplsihment)
should some of those kids been drafted, sure i guess, would they have been ohl palyers in a year, very low percentage or they would not have been passed over as many times as they were.
your also falling down the same trap that parents do. being a 5'7 scorer in u16 doesnt mean lot to me in 4 years if you dont have any growth left to your game. if you look like your as good as your going to get, then im not hitching my wagon to you, id rather be wrong. projectable skills are the only thing your looking for after the first 5'6 rounds, and if your small and not growing with just good aaa skill, doesnt matter what your numbers are, you wont be high on the list.
like i said, lets see these kids prove me wrong and become ohl players, but based on every other year, its not going to happen.
