Oh how time changes ever so quickly?

Question

I was going through some of my old fantasy teams, looking at the drafts and here's what I found.

In a 16 team league:

I got Brad Richards in the 17th and final round.
Jonathon Quick in the 9th round.
Henrik Sedin in the 5th round.
Took Pekka Rinne in the 3rd round.
Kiprusoff in the 2nd round.
Actually drafted Jason Williams too, I don't remember which round.

All I can say, what a difference a couple of years make.

As for a question, when it comes to draft picks, which styles do you like better?  Ken Holland it and let them get experience in the minors?  Or would you rather bring them right in the NHL?

I know goalies and forwards are totally different, I was going to use Howard/Stamkos as an example but that wouldn't be fair at all.

So, when it comes to the youngens of todays game, let 'em learn in the minors, or bring 'em to the big league?

I'd put them in the minors for a year or two. It's a good place to adjust, and a coach in the minors can influence the player's style for his career. So if you have a good coach in the minors who emphasizes hard work, they will work hard. Let them learn systems in the NHL, I'd try to implement a certain attitude and playing style as soon as possible. In NHL Be a GM mode, as a rule of mine, all draft picks must spend at least a year in the minors.
