Agreed those write ups were pretty old, pretty much the opposite (excluding mantha) actually occurred as far as the years each of those players actually had. Gersich was not that bad but I thought he had higher offensive talent given the team he played on....that team scores like 5 goals per game. With another year of juniors I think poganski and Wilkie will be nice.
I actually witnessed a game where schmaltz was loafing big time, however the offensive talent is very apparent. He needs a ton of work in his own zone though.
