He's a good player but how does a team draft a kid who has never played AAA?

Beating the odds. Caught someone's attention to take a chance on him. Can't bash him for that.

Not bashing. I like the kid.
Just don't understand how a kid who hasn't played against the best players gets drafted? I know he works hard, but he doesn't play on a stacked team.

He was a no brainer pick. The kid has much better skating than a majority of AAA.

For this draft class the rules were broken. It was so weak that they needed more options and this kid was the gem in the rough. VP is also an exception as they win every year. That team could’ve went to AAA and would’ve been competitive.

AA 2009 = Select Tier 3 from generation before Covid.

VP AA 2009 was the one exception.

Tier 3 is being very generous. This 2009 group is probably tier 4

From what I heard, everyone is very happy and congratulated him. It was a team effort getting him drafted from the coaching staff to his teammates. Their culture is about the name on the front, not on the back. They only keep players and parents who have the same mindset.
