Tracking Last Season's Draftees

(Originally posted on Mile High Hockey on November 9, 2010.)

I gathered some information  you might find interesting.  And like those before me, I'm not coming to any conclusions here other than our boys are still tops in the league for players out of the 2009 draft class.  Duchene continues to lead in points, and O'Reilly leads for yet another year in ±.

Any player that played in at least one NHL game is listed. I included their stats from 2009-2010 and to date for 2010-2011: Games played, goals, assists, points and plus-minus.  I stopped looking at the players after Round 3 as it is unlikely that any of those players made it into the NHL either last year or this year.  (Only 1 goalie made it on the list, so I stuck to forwards and defensemen.)  They are sorted based on this year's point totals.

Discuss!
