  1. I just noticed that Andrej Palat was the fourth LAST player taken in his draft year. It amazes me when you look at his draft year numbers the guy fell to almost being undrafted. Perhaps he was tiny and grew? What a steal! http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2011e.html

      And Hornqvist was taken last in the 2005 draft while Crosby was taken first. Now they're on the same line and just won the cup. 

      Amazing.

      I get why players from Europe drop - teams have a tough time evaluating how their play will translate here, but Palat played junior in canada! So it was an apples to apples comparison for him

      I believe our boy Hansen was a 9th round(!) pick too. Good players can come from anywhere.
