C Tyler Seguin (2010, 2nd overall, Boston; traded to Dallas)

What I don't get is how seguin was chl player of the year last year. Hall had just as many games, with playing seven less games. Plus Hall was on the WJC team. Add those 11 points he would have had 117 points.

Seguin was not the CHL player of the year, Eberle was. Seguin was OHL player of the year.

Star prospect on a stacked junior team means you get more skilled linemmates. Prospect playing on a stacked NHL team means you're buried in the depth chart. I don't see how this is hard to understand.

Were Hall's linemates more skilled or did he just get more out ofthem? Shugg was drafted 105th overall in 2010 and Henrique went 82nd in 2008.

It's not like Hall was playing with players that are someday going to light up the NHL.

Hindsight is always 20/20. If teams could see the future, I'm sure Skinner and Fowler would be in the discussion for #1 overall. As it is, the teams took the best player they thought was available. Nothing wrong with that, especially since Seguin (and Hall) both look promising.
