why didnt he play in the whl instead of the bchl?
Why do people keep bringing up his size as an excuse? He was picked two spots after Patrick Kane, who looked like he was 12 when he was drafted.
That said, I also agree with the people preaching patience. Not every prospect is waiting to hop into the league and be the next Ovechkin. He was rushed, but now his development track seems to be straightening out. He still has plenty of time to get it all together.
Just love posts like yours, champ. Keep it up.bust.
might carve out a decent nhl career, but for a top 3 draft pick... bust.

Bobby Ryan was drafted 2nd behind Crosby and was buried in the ducks AHL for a couple of years.
For a 2nd overall draft pick, Bobby Ryan is a bust.
i dont see the logic in calling a 30+ goal scorer in both his first 2 nhl campaigns a bust at 2nd.

the only other player that anyone could say deserves to have gone higher is Anze Kopitar. no rookies this year with the exception of hornqvist (played 2 games over the rookie min last year) have scored 30+........i would say Ryan was a great pick at 2.
