I think there is actually a bit of good luck mixed in. Sam is still very slight... He also looked good enough to stay in the nhl skill wise which would have really ground him down. You never know what would have happened but even if he went to the OHL, i don't know if he would learn a lot more and he'll have a big target on his back. He'll probably be 10 lbs heavier this time next year and have a few less miles on the odometer than most of the other top young guys.
Just sad he will miss the world juniors.
Man the draft talk brings out the hissy fits. The abuse people take on the board for hoping for a higher pick is sad... Just take a breath and move along. Hope the oilers win the lottery for mcdavid? Give your head a shake.
