Cole O'Hara, Preds 4th round pick, who was UMass leading scorer over Suniev, was signed and sent to the AHL. He won't even get a chance to play in the NHL this season

Same with Dans Locmelis, who was Suniev's linemate. Signed by the Bruins and sent to the AHL.

Suniev gets to be in the NHL now and will likely get 1 or more NHL games, which is more than every recent college player who signed that is not a first round pick. Suniev is not getting some raw deal here
