Gifford who was a senior at Moorhead last year was drafted in the 3rd round yesterday by the Penguins 85th overall.

I took this from POI

Name: Brian Gifford

Chosen: 85th

Position: Center

Size: 6-1, 173 Shoots: Left

Born: Nov. 12, 1985; Fargo, N.D.

2003-04 team: Moorhead, Minn. (high school)

Numbers: 19 goals, 37 assists, 26 penalty minutes in 26 games

Central ranking: 130th, North American skaters

Noteworthy: Another player who impressed Penguins at tryout. ... Father is 6 feet 7, so team is expecting he still will grow. ... Currently mulling four offers from NCAA Division I schools but could go to USHL.

Malone's analysis: "He's got good hands, and he's a really good kid who works hard at his game. His skating was a little off, and we saw him at the tryout, and it didn't look that bad. All of a sudden, we're sitting there going, 'Whoa.' "

He would be an awesome player to pick up.
