Does the BCHL produce a lot of NHLers? Or do guys in the BCHL generally use that as a springboard towards the Dub or NCAA (ie Zajac)

Wiki has a list of alumni. It's mostly a springboard.

Matteau with 4 pts in 2 games!

Matteau with 4 pts in 2 games!

He is a bust, didn't you hear? 3 points in 5 preseason games proves this.

Something like a football player going to junior college? Trying to find a comparable.

Sadly, 4 points in 2 games isn't far off from what he should be doing there. I'd want him to be a 1.2-1.5 PPG player, assuming his team is of average strength.

From what I've heard, his team is supposed to be a top team in the Q

Hockey Prospectus just released their Top 10 Prospect list for the Devils. I've been looking forward to this since Corey Pronman uses his own valuation of possession and other skill sets to rank his prospects, thus his list often differs greatly from the general media. A couple of things that stood out to me immediately:

1. Gelinas ranked 2nd. He had a huge 2nd half for Albany last year and clearly Pronman likes what he/other scouts he corresponds with saw.

2. Gavrus ranked 6th. I didn't expect to see him this high, if at all in the top 10. Given his injury history and the fact he may have just left the OHL makes me question ranking him this high over prospects like Pietila, Boucher, or Coleman.

I highly suggest checking out the full article. Its nice break from the lock out articles.

Random note:
2 time Devils prospect camp invitee J.T. Barnett suffered a knee injury in his first game with Kelowna. I figure he may be a guy to keep an eye on to see if he gets an AHL try out down the road.

What I find interesting is that Urbom's offensive skill is often criticized. While he has not had much of a chance to prove himself at the NHL level, both of his goals were very impressive. I guess I would have to watch more AHL games, but his offensive decision making seemed to be very appropriate in the (NJ) Devils games I've seen.

Yeah, I like his goals too, but you have to admit that shots from the slot aren't likely to be a defenseman's bread and butter when it comes to offense.
