The draft is 9 days away and the sioux have 6 potential draftees and 4 that could be taken in the first 3 rounds or so. Here are the players and some new mock drafts from nhl.com and other sources. As of now it seems Hall and Seguin are locks for #1 and #2

June 25th in Los Angeles (Round 1) 7pm est on Versus

June 26th (Rounds 2-7) 1pm est NHL Network

HF mock draft

Forbort - 11th to Dallas - A 6'4 two-way blueliner who is expected to attend the University of North Dakota in the fall, Forbort should help replenish a defensive pool that has grown increasingly shallow.

Nelson - 20th to Pittsburgh - The Penguins lack a pure-finisher among their forward prospects. Nelson, a strong two-way forward who is scheduled to attend to University of North Dakota, could fill that void.

2nd and 15th picks...I like it! Forbot going 15th would even be better!

Forbort as high as 7th overall? That'd be neat, but something tells me that is a bit high.

It will be interesting to see where everyone goes.

Is O'Donnell in his draft year or is he eligible next year?

Posted

I love these mock drafts that have Cam Fowler going number 2 in the draft. The Bruins are either going to draft T.Hall or

T.Seguin...

TSN - Bob Mckenzie top 75 for draft

#11 - Derek Forbort

#34 - Brock Nelson

thehockeywriters.com - Derek Forbort #18

He has a bullet slapshot and can lug the puck out of his zone efficiently, if not elegantly at this stage of his development. He is a tremendous athlete who reads the game well.

Derek has committed to the University of North Dakota, the strong NCAA program, for the fall of 2010.

cbc - forbort #7

With more than a handful of skilled prospects up front (Drayson Bowman, Zach Boychuk, Jiri Tlusty) look for the Hurricane's to do something to shore up the backend. At 6'5, Forbort fits the bill. The big, strong defenceman turned heads this year, showing how well he could get around the ice with his huge frame. Described as still being "raw," Forbort reminds some scouts of Buffalo stalwart blue-liner Tyler Myers. Forbort is committed to North Dakota next season.

wch blog draft prospect profile - gothberg

There's a high amount of risk in drafting a goalie--especially out of Minnesota where the list of NHL goalie alums is very unimpressive--but Gothberg's talent will be too much for a team to pass up. The third round is probably the most earliest Gothberg could go, but he will most likely end up in the fourth round or later. Whichever team drafts him will end up with a talented player and they'll have the opportunity to let him mature and develop for a long time before having to make a decision on signing him.

I really hope that Danny comes to UND next fall (2011) and develops into an excellent 4yr player for UND.

He had so much potential in HS, and then has kind of fallen off the map in the USHL.

Perhaps this last year in the USHL will help him out...

Posted
Based on what exactly?

The NHL Scouts weren't too impressed with his strength last year despite being predicted to go in the mid to late rounds.

He's since had a rather subpar year in the USHL.

Unless something behind the scenes is going on (which I hope is true), I don't see Mattson getting drafted.

That being said, he'll have a strong 4 years at UND, get signed by an NHL team as a free agent, and go on from there. :D

Reminder, the draft starts tonight at 6pm central on Versus. It is 6pm to 9pm tonight and continues tomorrow starting at 8am on the NHL Network. For those of you with the NHL Network, they are having the NHL on the Fly: Draft Preview from 5pm to 6pm today and then tonight at 10pm until 11pm, the Draft Review...you can watch that until 3am! Plus they are showing the NHL Awards again tomorrow from 4pm to 5:30pm.

draft starts in 1 hour

about 3 minutes, and I am hoping the stupid thunderstorm does not knock the electricity out...or at least stays on for any sioux recruits....

It has been a horrible summer for storms so far.

Posted
yes it has and Forbort is picked by the LA Kings at 15th overall and UND is getting props

"No better place in college hockey than the University of North Dakota" or something to that effect. I like the sound of that.

UND recruit Forbort goes No. 15 overall to L.A

Forbort hugged his parents, walked on to the stage and pulled on a retro Kings sweater to loud cheers from the crowd. He took a couple of more pictures, while TSN commentators raved about the pick.

There's no better place to go and develop than North Dakota, commentator Bob McKenzie said. That place is a factory."

"It's the perfect place for this young man to go, Pierre McGuire added.

But not in a John Calipari Kentucky hoops kind of way. :D
