Allow me. Seth Griffith, two-time OHL Champion and just recently Memorial Cup Champion with the London Knights. 
When he was selected 131st overall with Boston's fifth-round pick in 2012 one could just hope that he turns out to be the sleeper gem of the 2012 draft class.
Voted into the 2011-12 OHL Second All-Star Team after a 85 point Regular Season and 23 points in the OHL Playoffs alongside Bruins Prospect Jared Knight, he caught Peter Chiarelli's attention.
Just by looking at his stats you could wonder why he got selected in the 5th round, Kirk Ludeke Boston Bruins Prospect writer for the New England Hockey Journal got an easy explanation for that 


The 5-foot-10 Center/Right Wing underlined last year's great performance with an even better 2012-13 season, when he registered 33 goals and 48 assist with a +18 rating in just 54 games.
At the end of the 2013 OHL regular season, Griffith was honored with the Jim Mahom Memorial Trophy for the OHL's top scoring right wing.
The 20-year-old forward’s 81 points ranked him 2nd on the London Knights, just 6 points behind Max Domi (2013 12th overall pick by the Phoenix Coyotes) who has skated in 10 more games.
In 2011-12, Griffith was a pure goal-scorer who's defensive play wasn't the best at all.
Last season he proved that he's more than that, when he reached almost the same ammount of points in less games and with more assists, making him one of junior hockey’s better playmakers.
On top of that, Griffith's 25 points (9 G and 15 A) in 21 playoff games lead the London Knights to their second OHL Championship in a row.
In the prestigious Memorial Cup, the Bruins prospect achieved franchise leading 6 points in 5 games ahead of this years top prospects Bo Horvat and Max Domi, resulting in the Knights first MC win since 2005.
At the end of the 2012-13 season he was voted into the OHL First All-Star Team.
Next season, the Winger will play for the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
For the second time Seth Griffith will be part of the Bruins development camp starting today at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, so if you have any chance to go there DO IT !

Just to show what Seth Griffith can do on his own
