Those guys all saw zero AHL games and jumped directly into the NHL with the exception of Krieder who played in the NHL playoffs first and then saw some time in the AHL.
They aren't really accurate comparables. I did a post on this before. Its hard to find college guys who had a good season in the AHL at the age of 22 and didn't see any real NHL time.
