NHL Rising Stars: Top 10 Late Bloomers
Posted 11/16/2010 - 18:20 by HockeyPolls
I have written many articles this season ranking the best young players in the game today.
Many Web sites and pundits showcase prospects for the draft. On the other end of the spectrum, established stars get the NHL headlines. However, there is not enough publicity for the emerging stars of tomorrow.
The guidelines I use for these under-served players are two years of NHL experience or less or less than 160 games combined (with minor exceptions). The problem with these guidelines is that there are a handful of young players who have taken a little longer to develop.
As a tribute to these guys, I present the top 10 late bloomers emerging on the scene today.
