Even in this hypothetical scenario I wouldn't want to lose Duluth and Denver. After Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, nobody else in the BIG means anything to me.
What's the old saying? Don't put your fate in someone else's hands. UND needs to make it so the committee has no choice, but to put them in the playoffs.
Stewart and Gonslaves never became as good as I had hoped they would. Stewart was the fourth overall pick the year he was drafted and Gonsalves was a top 3 prospect for the Twins at one time.
When you've played less than twenty percent of your total professional games in the NHL I would not classify you as an NHL player. This is just my opinion. I also did not do the math on the percent of games played, but I'm sure I'm pretty close.
One could argue that as it currently stands Jordan is a bust. Only two first round picks from that draft have played less games in the NHL than Jordan. While a number of players taken after him have played more games.
He has very few games played in the NHL, especially as a first round pick.
Here are the numbers for the 2012 draft class:
