But he's very thin ... not going to push G-L dudes around that are 24-25 and full of muscle with college and/or European pro-league experience. Even if he survives, the D-L draft stats are not glistening ... a total of about 30 guys get a call-up every year from all 26 teams. That gives them about a 1-10 chance. Going from college ... not only is it a far nicer experience, but about 140 players declare and +/- 20 are drafted (1-7 odds). And that's without considering playing for a well-respected college coach in a high-profile program that makes a deep tourney run. Even losing 5 or 6 spots could cost you a million or more per year. So something else is afoot here. [/QUOTE]
