Is Dunn AHL eligible next year? Or is it back to the Q?
Definitely not AHL eligible. He was almost the youngest player selected in his draft year. If he were born two days later, he wouldn't have even been eligible for the 2013 draft, and would have been in the 2014 draft class. He's not even 19 years old yet, despite being drafted last year.
I love taking the super-young kids with later picks. I find they're valued a little less because in many cases they're being compared to kids who are almost a year older than they are. Give some of those kids (like Dunn) a chance to catch up developmentally, and they can often turn into steals.
Where would Dunn have been drafted this year, in such a weak draft year? Probably a lot better than the 5th round pick we used to get him in 2013. Maybe 3rd round?
