Most of the league talk about rookies involves Meuller, Armstrong, Boychuk, Stevens, Sutter, Undershute, and a few others. These guys obviously deserve the talk that they get because they are great players.
I think though that Levi Nelson and Raniel Rakos are just as impressive. Nelson has 26 points , Rakos has put up 24 points. They've managed to put up these numbers on a team that's not known for scoring a lot of goals and are near the bottom in the standings. Also something that doesn't help these youngsters put up more points is that we kill A LOT of penalties, 5th most pims in the league. Way to guys and keep up the hard work, like Moir as a goalie you guys are underrated rookies in this league. :thumb:

Agree that the bronco youngsters are getting over looked, but they really have no hype coming out of swift (yeah its a media thing). Also you mentioned Rakos and Nelson, i also have to mention Bortis and McAvoy as their play has improved for the most part over the course of the season. It isn't much of a mystery that this team will be good when the current 17 yr olds are 19.
