stoneySIOUX Posted June 26 Posted June 26 I don't know about you guys, but I frickin' love the NHL draft. We've got some potential first rounders, too! Do Boisvert and Emery get picked in round 1? Whom else gets picked?? Does Liver get a pick on his last go around? Here are UND's guys to watch for: F Sacha Boisvert (2024 recruit), first or second round D E.J. Emery (2024), first or second round F Will Zellers (2025), mid-rounds F Mac Swanson (2024), mid-to-late rounds D Sam Laurila (2025), late rounds or undrafted D Jake Livanavage, late rounds or undrafted G Caleb Heil (2025 or 2026), late rounds or undrafted F Carson Pilgrim (2025 or 2026), late rounds or undrafted D Keith McInnis (2025 or 2026), late rounds or undrafted 1 Quote

I recently saw a mock from an internet scout that had him going late second. But third isn’t out of the question. But more likely 5-7. Quote

He's clearly done well carrying a massive chip on his shoulder with that small frame of his Typically if you are smaller and don't have elite skating ability, getting drafted high would be an exception, but who knows there could be a team or two that values hockey sense and think that minor skating issues could be overcome. We saw teams try to sign Kawaguchi, even though I had misgivings about him making the NHL without elite skating ability. Hopefully he gets someone to believe in him, and if not, I certainly would take a 4-year Kawaguchi type career at UND. Quote
cberkas Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Probably a unpopular opinion but since the NHL is decentralizing the draft, they should just hold it permanently at the Sphere. 1 Quote

tnt Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Does Emery go to the new Ottawa, in Carolina? With Blake and Perron and Emerson, oops, I mean the first two anyway. Quote
stoneySIOUX Posted June 29 Author Posted June 29 What a day for our program. I love hearing the analysts talk about UND as a hockey factory. Plus, Emery to my Rangers!!! I'm so pumped. Get that dirty JT Miller taste out of my mouth after more than a decade. Quote
