How about that Marchand guy, eh?

This kind of thing may interest only me, but I was really impressed with Marchand in the playoffs and especially the SC finals, and thought to myself "I wish the Avs had a guy like him. I wonder where he came from?" Turns out, he was drafted by Boston 71st overall in 2006, which was 12 picks after CO selected the esteemed Codey Burki with the 2nd-rounder they acquired from Calgary in the Alex Tanguay trade. I understand you can't go back and say any particular prospect would have developed the same way in one organization as he has in another, but it sure lends itself to a bit of "what if..." speculation.
