You turn pro early, you get more experience than if you stayed in college? In the past two years for Dave LeNeveu:
Springfield 37GP 2157:23min 16-18-3WLT 99GA 2.75GAA
Cornell BR 32GP 1946:19min 28-03-1WLT 39GA 1.20GAA
Okay, so 60 times more he got the exercise of turning and fishing the puck out of the net.
Not that he shouldn't have takent the money and run ... I think he likely had one of the highest starting salaries (including bonuses) of any Cornellian whe entered the work force a year ago.

That Springfield team isn't exactly the who's who of NHL prospects. He played behind a lousy team and still put up a .917 SV%. He and JMP would be quite the tandem on a decent AHL team.

Don't forget in last year's stats the games he played at the juniors. That narrows the difference even more.

I was nostalgic, watching the Saturday championship, and thinking that this year's offense and defense, plus LeNeveu in goal (with McKee finishing up his Junior B prep year and heading for Cornell this coming fall), could have taken Denver or Minnesota. I mean, we can score one and maybe two goals against any team in the country.

Couldn't agree more. Springfield's defense is limited -- at best.

He may have only played 10% more minutes this season, but the opposition was certainly more talented (AHL vs. college, let alone ECAC). So I'm sure the suits in Phoenix feel that this makes for better experience.

Can you tell how many shots he faced each year?

Wow. I guess we need to change the subject line to show the true difference a year makes.

Only 10% more game experience, true. However, he practiced and was with the team for a 70+ game season (plus preseason NHL and AHL camps). It's a long and grueling year. That's the question pro scouts want to address: Can a College still put up numbers at the end of the season?
