Doug Grimes – The Process (Updated 11/5/2020)
Neutral Zone had seventeen right wingers who are 6’2″ or larger on our 2020 draft list. Four (4) of them were potential 1st rounders, two (2) we projected to be selected by the end of the third round and three (3) that we didn’t think would be drafted. The rest are long term projects who we feel have the potential to mature into legit National League prospects. This is why we will continue to track Doug Grimes during his first season in the USHL.
