Blake had a terrific first season, but had turned 21 two months into it.<BR/><BR/>Bogosian will have a very difficult time succeeding because every single 18-year-old blueliner has as a rookie. Even the best of the best are generally held out until they're older and more experienced.<BR/><BR/>I believe Rostislav Klesla was the last 18-year-old defenceman to play in his draft year, although I may have missed someone. He ended up going back to junior after eight games.James Mirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221488913251638181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-52549517602471075512008-09-22T23:45:00.000-04:002008-09-22T23:45:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.James Mirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221488913251638181noreply@blogger.com
