I wonder if 2011 will compete against '08. They got a lot of talent in that draft. ZBad, Noesen, Puempel, Prince, Claesson, and Pageau is a pretty impressive haul.

It's a bit different IMO just because they had more draft pics and moved out pieces to get those draft picks like Fisher, Kelly, ect. 2008 was just great scouting coming off a relatively good year. 2011 will be important though, no question.

Ridiculous draft for defensemen 2008 was. Best of all time no question.

Justin Schultz was picked just after Wiercioch. Will be very interesting to follow those 2

Right now it's hard to imagine Wiercioch coming close to Schultz if you look at their AHL and college numbers.

PW left UoDenver too early IMO.

I think it's more about the difference in strength. PW needed some muscles and he also had more injuries and a nearly life ending accident last year.
He's finally healthy and had a good training.
