Sticking with Arnold ...
the biggest change to me in the last few years is the fact that so many draft picks in each of the last 5 years are still a discussion. Often you pick 7 guys, never get to know 4 of them, and cut many loose. Two years later you look at the names and they never amounted to anything.
Tod Button seems to be on a roll in finding "interesting" players deep into the draft.
2011 - all 5 guys have played
2012 - Culkin, Kulak, Gillies and Sieloff still in the discussion
2013 - Kanzig and Rafikov still in play
2014 - all 6 players on their way, two with WJC chances
Really adds some girth to the prospect list. Don't see a lot of Trubachevs and Shastins
