The Marlies are playing there 3rd game right now. And Voit has yet to play for them too. Cleveland plays there 4th game tonight see if DBB finally plays. It so frustrating to see teams get good players back year after year but we literally never do.
wow, I honestly compete forgot about Voit..... Just shows how hard it is to get the the NHL .... Interesting to see what will happen.
It's very rare for NHL drafted/signed forwards to return to the OHL for their overage year, too many other options. Has Sarnia actually been affected by this more than other teams? Players sticking in the NHL in their 19 year old season? Chychrun maybe? Anyone else?
Of course Erie scores immediately after posting this lol.
Goldobin ... yakupov ... stamkos ... Zacha ... you already mentioned chychrun .... im not gonna bring up the covid years because everyone got f'd by that... I have no clue what that compares to the league but when I look at London the only guy I can think of leaving early is Rick Nash.
Hahaha seemed like he has played well for them up until tonight. But I’m with yah, Surzycia is better already and was the right choice to keep easily lol.
Those are mostly players drafted through the CHL import draft. If I recall, Sarnia had a good stretch of recruitment, getting very high end imports to report. That could play into it.
ok but the question you asked was how many guys played in the nhl the year after they were drafted at 19 years old ..... the guys I mention all qualify.
im not sure what this means.
maybe I was wrong on Zacha I dunno I forget when he was born and drafted ... from what I remember people expected him back
Off the top for London......Sam Gagner, Patrick Kane, John Tavares, Matthew Tkachuk, sure there's more.
