Another undrafted player highlights today's blog post. Clay Wilson has never fully been able to maintain a level of play that NHL teams look for. At the age of 29, Clay has four NHL teams under his belt and a combined 36 NHL games. It appears as if Clay's career is over, but it's not unheard of players coming back to the NHL when they're older. Thanks Clay!

Another return, recieved back in 2012, from Greg Adams. Greg was a former Vancouver Canuck that went undrafted. He got his first big break with the Devils, where in his second season, he recorded 73 points. Later he was traded to Vancouver, along with Kirk Mclean for Patrick Sundstrom and a 4th round pick. Thanks for the auto Greg!

A nice return from Al MacInnis, this one where he's donning the Red and White. Al MacInnis, definitely known for his powerful slapshot, regularly topping 100 miles/hr during the All Star games. I watched Mr.MacInnis back in the day, so I was ecstatic to receive a return from him. Thanks Al!

A great return from one of the great players of the game, Ron Francis. Having had played 23 seasons in the NHL, Ron was able to win 2 Stanley Cups during his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He was a major contributor during the 1995-96 season where he amassed 119 points. Usually you'd think 119 would be sufficient to win the Art Ross trophy, except two other teammates (Lemieux and Jagr) and Joe Sakic had more points than him that season.
