Don't recall saying every 4th or 5th rounder have to be an impact NHLer, but would be nice to see them in the system as legitimate prospects. Apart from Brodie/Aulie, we seem to have very little to show in the pipeline when compared to other teams that can find these diamonds in the rough. Did review the 4th/5th rounders in the 2009 draft specifically as this is when we picked Bjorklund/Bennett, and there are prospects/players there that are in their respective teams' farm systems. Would like to see more home grown talent on the club and I am hopeful that Feaster will focus on player development.
