St. John did graduate Steve Begin, Blair Betts, Chris Clark, and Steve Montador so maybe it isn't the big names we should be looking at.

This is a good point. People often focus on the big number guys, but once you've been in the AHL a few years its highly unlikely you are going to be a top 6 NHL guy (really young European guys would be the exception here since they would be in junior if they were Canadian). Its those muckers like Hathaway who will probably end up having the longer careers in the NHL.
