Hey, in Florida, if you come across a dead alligator, can you take it home? Or do you have to tell your natural resources people about it first.

There's tons of examples from 30-40 years ago, when Europe and the USSR were opening up guys to play in the NHL.

Tanner Pearson is the easy answer as a guy selected early that was an overager. He had a good career as a mediocre 2nd liner and decent bottom-6 guy. But that philosophy is pretty funny. It was also really good because it was the new "era" so the media were being cool about it.

According to the Googles, David Perron is another good example:

Probably the best outside of goalies because they are (frank)ed.

I think Perron is likely the best example. I believe Danton Heinen is another.

Igor Korshkov.

And we only had to use the 31st pick to grab him!

- Atomic Wedgie

Korshkov is averaging a goal a game for his NHL career!

Interestingly enough, Perron was overlooked twice before being drafted into the QMJHL.

Definitely think this guy is the winner.

There are certainly cases where over-agers have played some NHL games, but I'm looking for over-agers who were drafted high and ended up being more than replacement level players.

Perron is an excellent example (D+1 I believe, and 27th overall).

Legally? Not sure.

In practice, it's your's.

Is that bacon, or just the way the skill splits on the BBQ?
Either way...count me in.
