Brian Gionta was drafted 82nd overall in 1998. Nathan Gerbe lasted until the 142nd selection in 2005. Martin St-Louis wasn’t drafted at all. Rocco Grimaldi isn’t bigger than any of those NHLers, but his impressive play this season means he’s bound to hear his name called during the first round at the draft.

The 5-foot-6, 161-pound center for Team USA was the star attraction for the national team development program this season. In 50 games, the pint-sized producer threw up 34 goals and 62 points, including 13 markers on the power play and five game-winners, leading his team in each of those categories.
