Correct. I wasn’t talking about “drafts” I was talking about guys who make teams. Again, later bloomers typically go undrafted at various levels (ushl/chl, 40 man, nhl, etc) but they make teams. First rounders are first rounders, not talking about those types. I’m more talking about guys who develop later and make teams. I think hale fits that makeup. Again, he’ll need to pack some weight on. He’s skilled. Drafts are obviously beneficial, but they’re point in time markers.
After his successful year, I would be confused as to why cc would deco him, unless there was some sort of coaching change im not aware of.
