swansee Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Are you just pointing out an observation or is there a point to this? Just an interesting observation mostly. I thought it might be interesting to keep track of alumni and highlite some of our farm teams successes in development. We do seem to be somewhat of a goalie school (ok some of them were Edmonton Bulldog alumni>>>>). Maybe just a small point of the role the AHL and specifically the Bulldogs have in NHL success.

So specifically, how playing with the Bulldogs has translatred into success at the NHL level for players that have ended up with teams other than Montreal. And by your observation, there seems to be a positive correlation. Hmm. Of course there are many other factors that can be attributed to it, but I see what you are saying.
