Maybe it's just me, but what does this mean? Does that mean you're not impressed by what you've read on HF or THN Future Watch? Are you underwhelmed by theur stats?
Neimsz is a good solid two way forward with a big frame, good hockey sense, good hands and solid work ethic and leadership. He's not ever going to be a superstar, but there aren't that many players that are drafted in that range that are. If you can get a Mike Knuble, Brian Rolston type of player (ie good enough to play top line minutes at both ends of the ice, but not going to carry a line by himself) that's a very solid pick.
Wahl, I haven't seen a ton of, but I have an acquaintance that is a Chiefs' STH and he has nothing but good things to say about the kid. He's a solid two-way playmaking centreman in the WHL, and while he hasn't shown the kind of explosive improvement that Neimsz had shown, he's well over a PPG, has shown the ability to put the puck in the net a little more and still holds a gaudy +42.
