sort of like Baertschi and Backlund the season after they were drafted They were in the top 3-4 forwards for a very successful playoff run to the memorial cup. I think that it is important to have the ability to contribute at a high level in important games.

Top players from top programs.... Hudler, Gaudreau, Yelle, Tanguay, Bouma Kris Russell , Brodie (last year in Jr.) rather than players from the Leafs and Panthers.... Hagman, Stajan, White, Bouw, Jokinen, Stempniak

I feel that is 90% of the CP love for Jankowski, Gillies, Hickey players that were important to teams that were doing well in important games.

Somehow the love skipped Arnold and Gilmour

Agreed. Monahan and Bennett's junior teams sucked so 90% of the CP hates them.
