…and I’m pointing out that the organization that’s turning into one of the better ones in the league at creating quality players from mid-round picks probably knows what they’re doing more than us sitting on our couches with no idea what happens behind closed doors. They’ve went that route with two players and it has paid off in spades. Care to give examples of players who have received that treatment and fell off completely? People look at getting scratched like they’re sitting around in the stands eating hot dogs instead of improving. Ruzicka and Kylington were getting time practicing against NHLers under direct supervision from our coaching staff. They both came back looking better than ever.
…it’s pretty common knowledge the leaders are usually mid to late 20s AHL journeymen? The league leader put up 101 points in 70 games and has 4 NHL games under his belt at 28. For example, take last season. Do you know how many of the top 20 scorers in the AHL are up with their teams this season? It’s 6. Of those 6, only 2 are above the age of 22. So unless you’re still very young with plenty of natural progression left, the top of the AHL still doesn’t mean NHL caliber.
Regardless, it’s obvious neither of us are changing eachothers opinions on anything. No point flooding the pages arguing for nothing.
