  I believe the rule is that if a player is eligible but not drafted for two
drafts, he becomes a free agent.  So if teams don't notice him when he's 18
or 19 years old and he blossoms later on, he's free to shop the market.
  Bruce Hoffort and Dave Gagnon are two names that come to mind that had this
happen to them... (though they haven't made it).  Come to think of it, I
think Adam Oates as well...
