Message: [QUOTE="RSTuthill, post: 2083847, member: 7322"] NHL clubs always think they can develop a player better than the NCAA. So this is no surprise and in fact I called it. Same route as Ron Hainsey who was drafted 11th I believe and left UML after 2 years. Is it the best route? I simply don't know. A year or two more putting on muscle mass in college would be very well spent. It took Ron several years to reach the NHL permanently and it only happened when Montreal put him on waivers to go back down and Columbus grabbed him. But you gotta think Tage has the best advisor in the business in the person of his Dad. Yeah, I think it is 50/50 whether or not Letunov leaves. Slightly different situation. Maybe he stays one more year. Depends on what his club wants. [/QUOTE]
