There's really only two North American development paths: NCAA or CHL. All these feeder leagues into the NCAA are just that. Definitely the NCAA is really good at developing NHL players, and so is the CHL. The NCAA route gives NHL teams more time to decide on prospects, which can be beneficial for late round guys like Ben Merrill.can't say I understand the faith the management team has placed into the BCHL to develop prospects
Other than Newhook and Jost I can't remember any other recent picks that turned into NHLers
