(same with Hart and Lewington) and not with becker or Koules<br /><br />(Just think of it as September 15- Dec 31 players fall back a year.)<br /><br />Its why some players are drafted during their 17 year old seasons, and some players are drafted in their 18 year old seasons.<br /><br />Also Becker and Koules are still eligible for the draft but players not picked the first time around are usually written off unless exceptional play takes over. Teams don't want to waste a draft pick on a player with a tougher road and will instead invite them to training camp and if they play well they might sign them when they are 20.<br /><br />Also I completely forgot Gavin Broadhead on the list<br />TigerTurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359764110928059937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-73622522315914219722012-11-21T09:38:31.266-07:002012-11-21T09:38:31.266-07:00Many of the players listed above are 95's and ...Many of the players listed above are 95's and will only be 17 at the time of the draft.

I like Becker's offensive contribution. He sure looks mobile walking the line and you can't argue the fact that he is one of the top two scoring rookie defenseman in the entire league. His reduced point production and minus games directly correspond to the change in d pairings mentioned by an earlier poster. I'd like to see Becker be given the opportunity to play once again with a veteran instead of having to play with the other rookie of Stanton/ Staples. Let the Veteran D men take some of the grooming responsibility.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-78649738888447247362012-11-20T18:18:30.980-07:002012-11-20T18:18:30.980-07:00Inside Scoop: Although this does not pertain to ou...Inside Scoop: Although this does not pertain to our Tigers.

A yell...I agree. I just think he has more to give.<br /><br />A yellow flag on becker would be his mobility, and their were a few games where he looked slow. <br /><br />TigerTurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359764110928059937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-84292207565726359882012-11-20T16:21:14.406-07:002012-11-20T16:21:14.406-07:00Becker, a first year player, has been paired with ...Becker, a first year player, has been paired with either Stanton or Staples, also rookies, since Jensen has moved up to play first line duties with Busenius. Lewington is also paired with an experienced D man in Ryckman. Becker hasn't got the benefit of playing with a veteran to build his confidence and cover for his inexperience. He has been given the responsibility of covering other rookie's inconsistent play. He looks pretty good when you put his assigned role into perspective.

I think he has been either fighting the puck or getting slightly complacent.<br /><br />When he is able to get te puck and make a solid first pass out of the zone he looks like a defensive stud, but their are games where it's not all their.TigerTurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359764110928059937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328410439347632491.post-22929709429217811012012-11-20T12:15:13.296-07:002012-11-20T12:15:13.296-07:00Only 94's born between Sept 15th, and December...Only 94's born between Sept 15th, and December 31st are 1st year eligibles.<br /><br />He had a great start to the year.
