he mentioned NTDP guys who are "under the radar". The implication is that high-mid first rounders are off the list. Going further than that is dumb and he knows it. Both Peeke and Morrison have been there three years - same as Lee. So I'm not sure what point you're making here.

I think he especially means one-and-dones or players who never make it to college hockey


Yeah - as I pointed out, both Peeke and ...

Morrison have done three. Not seeing the connection involving late round 1 - Round 2 guys.
