Thought Danis and his 9 goals had a chance...oh well =)

There is a sidebar poll on McKee's Rookie of the Week page. I'm not surprised that Moulson has the most votes for the Most Underrated player. I don't understand why he was picked in the 9th round of last year's NHL draft, while Hynes was drafted in the 3rd. I think that both have the same chance of getting into the NHL. While Hynes definitelly has the benefit of his size, compared to Moulson, I think that Moulson is a little better overall. We'll see the stats as the season progresses.

Size is very important in the NHL draft.  That alone explains a lot.  There's also the question of NHL potential  While Moulson may be a better college player than Hynes at this point (and I'm not expressing an opinion here), Hynes may project as a better pro player.

Besides, NHL draft position is a very imperfect metric of ability.

[Eric \'04]

You're right, there were plenty of 1st rounders, including 1st overall picks that never really did anything in the NHL.

Not to mention that Moulson has had the advantage of playing on a line with Vesce.
