NHL Draft

Recommended Posts

This season, assuming no one turns pro early the Sioux will have five NHL 1st rounders - Zajac, Stafford, Lee, Oshie, and Finley and a likely 2006 1st rounder in Toews. Have they had this many first round picks on one team recently or ever ?

Its fun to make up your dream lines for next year, I do it too.  But at least know the postitions of the players. Know if they are a center or RW or LW.

The difference between this class and 2001, This class has 5 guys that may be drafted in the first 2 rounds if the NHL gets its stuff together. Possibly 2 first rounders.  Guys like Duncan and Miller will be big time producers when they are juniors and seniors (hopefully earlier).

I guess that I was off on this prediction back in may.

What a great day for Sioux hockey thus far!

Well, it's official: UND's recruiting class:

3 1st rounders

1 potential 2006 first rounder

2 2nd rounders

Through 2.5 Rounds anyways.

Better than UofMN. In some respects, better overall than Michigan's. Those three schools are the only ones that are really close to UND.

The Sioux have now had as many first rounders in the past three years (6) as in the prior 35 years combined. I think that is evidence of the quality of recent recruits as well as the cosmic shift in the willingness of NHL GMs to look outside the CHL for players.

Watkins goes 5th round (#160 overall) to Dallas.

How come he didn't get his own thread?

Greg Beller went 178th in 6th round to the Rangers. This kid is so underated. Some school should pick him up. How about UND...............

Obviously NHL scouts and GM's should have talked to you rw77.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You're damn right they should have! Do you think the Rangers or the Panthers would be as crappy as they are if they would have given me a call before they made their decisions?

Ok, well, with the Rangers, I suppose they'd have to call PCM on those matters, but still! I'm NEARLY as good as Conte (NJ) at scouting! I'm the top armchair scout in my apartment community! :ohmy:
