This isn't really relevant -- they'll get as much of a chance as any drafted
player.  Someone will invite them to camp, and we'll see.

I don't buy it --- If you want to hear St. Louis and Perrin talk about it
themselves, listen to Week #2 (September 30) of Around the Rinks. Both St.
Louis and Perrin talk about playing separately and getting a chance in the NHL,
among other things.
 
Both have said that if they are in a situation where they are being called up
and down, with a chance to prove themselves, they would stay in the AHL -- but
they wouldn't spend their careers in the minors, instead opting for Europe.
From a selfish standpoint, let's hope that doesn't happen.
