  • Agostino & Hanowski were in college, Wotherspoon was in the WHL
Add in another good college season from Gaudreau, Arnold and Gillies and Jankowski moving to centre (and taking a step forward) and a lot of good things have happened in this organization for the future (to offset Sven's downturn)
I'll add -- Ramo was playing in Russia and Ortio in Finland; both were considered unproven (at best) at the NHL level.
