~~Keep~~ Delete Although it technically fails WP:NHOCKEY, he was 8 games away from the 100 game notability mark and, if football means anything, a 2nd round pick has some notability attached to it. Buggie111 (talk) 13:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those games he played were amateur games. He had to play 100 pro games to meet WP:NHOCKEY. And as far as draft picks go, only the first round helps you meet NHOCKEY. -DJSasso (talk) 11:57, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the first round draft pick part, but there surely must have been a lot of 2nds who made to the all-Star Game or Hall of Fame. Anyways, now that you clairify the type of game he played, I switch to delete. Buggie111 (talk) 14:53, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Didn't play professionally, wasn't a first rounder pick, wasn't a preeminent star at the junior level, no evidence of notability proferred. Highly unlikely he could meet the GNG in his own right. Ravenswing 10:13, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
