Most college draftees are either freshmen or havent even started their college season's yet.
By the time they are Juniors or Seniors, their games may have taken big strides. It's prudent to check every talent pool. If ego about not noticing him at first causes them not to look at a guy again, that's a problem.
It makes me happy that college free agents are getting more attention. It shows young kids that they can keep working towards their dream even if undrafted, and that college is as good of a path as any to the NHL.
