Still I believe in those players. Can't believe Coyle went ahead of Nelson.
Nelson and Pitlick were both late birthdays, some teams knock those players down a bit because they have an extra year of development over guys that may only be turning 18 in the summer. Nelson is more like the 172lbs that TSN had than the 205 that THN has him listed at.

Probably stems from Gonchar looking for a 3 year deal at 36. Players signed after 35, if they retire with an active contract still carry a full cap hit.
