He was nothing special. Same goes for Bobby Ryan the second overall pick by Anaheim after Crosby that draft year. He plays for Owen Sound, is a yankee, and is non-existent this year.
Really? Must be a different Bobby Ryan in the 'O' from the player I follow.
Just a few stats from this season to consider from this non-existent player:
-9th in OHL scorong
-averages 1.6 points per game
-named player of the week recently with 8 points in 2 games (4 points in each game)
-the guy is 'Jonathan Toews-like' on shootouts this season
-he is a force on the power play with 38 points
He was not on the USA world junior team because of political bullshit. He turned his back on the Under-18 team a couple of years ago but USA didn't have much of a choice but to select him for the 2006 team. It would make them look pretty stupid not to select the #2 overall pick for their team.
He may not be NHL-ready right now, but this kid can play.
