NHL Draft

Reece Willcox drafted by Flyers in 5th round, number 141 overall.

John McCarron drafted by Oilers in 6th round, 153rd overall. One might think the Oilers would be leery about signing Cornellians after they wanted to get Riley Nash to leave after his junior year and he refused (although he did leave after a trade to the 'Canes).

Joakim Ryan to the Sharks in round 7, 198th overall.

Mark Jankowski taken first round, #21 overall, by Calgary. In addition to all the other famous relatives listed in his bio, his father, Len Jankowski '82, played four seasons at Cornell, a fact that actually got mentioned on last night's broadcast.

Joakim Ryan to the Sharks in round 7, 198th overall.

I'm kind of staggered by how late he went—a steal for the Sharks.

As the last round was winding up I was already composing a tweet in my head about how a lot of teams would regret not drafting him when he enters free agency in 3 years.

Great talent but 1) is he big enough for the next level and 2) can he improve the defensive side of his game enough? Sees the ice really well and I like his confidence the few times I saw him.

It's the Sharks, so no one's concerned about him playing defense.

Zzzzzzzzing.

(The Islanders, on the other hand, may never draft another forward.)

The Ithaca Journal reviews the Cornell draftees this morning.

Staff report
Incoming Cornell hockey freshman Reece Willcox, along with Big Red sophomores-to-be John McCarron and Joakim Ryan, were selected over the weekend in the annual NHL Entry Draft.

Cornell was the only ECAC Hockey school to have three players drafted. That gives the 2012-13 Big Red eight NHL draft picks on its roster, the most it has had since the 2006-07 season.

They continue with a couple of paragraphs on each one, a breakdown of all eight draftees by position, and a one-sentence summary of last year's record.

I did not realize that fact.

Sucks will have nine on its roster. Another fact that I did not realize:

Robert S. Samuels
...the Crimson now has seven drafted players in its rising freshmen and sophomore classes.

It should make next season very interesting.

But I like the only comment to that story:

I'm not sure that I understand. These people have just graduated HIGH SCHOOL, and have already been drafted by the NHL?!

Are they expected to drop out of Harvard in order to play hockey professionally?

Or, are they being drafted 4 years in advance of the date on which they are expected to join their respective teams?

Probably from Harvard's best fan.

So, go with it.

Reminds of the Colgate fan site where fans (i.e. people tempted to attend because of free pizza) could ask the goalie (I think Dekanich (sp?)) a question, and one fan complained about Cornell having an easier schedule to finish out the year (this was January or so), and the goalie had to point out since we were travel partners that we had the exact same opponents remaining.

Maybe the fan had looked at the schedule and saw that in some of the weekends, Colgate played the harder opponent Friday and the easier one Saturday. That would mean that Colgate gets the hard opponent when they're fresh, while Cornell gets them once they've been tired out by Colgate (while Cornell, having played the easy opponent the night before, is relatively well-rested).

You might be overestimating the analytical abilities of Colgate hockey fans.

My first comment was meant as a joke-ish. Which is to say, I don't think the Colgater would have actually thought it, but the funny thing is that the goalie's dismissivness of the question could have also been wrong, though his dismissiveness of the questioner was almost certainly right. The second post was just nonsense.

More from Willcox. He will play in the Flyers Prospect Camp scrimmage tomorrow. I know that the Rangers streamed the scrimmage at the end of their camp, but the Flyers website is unclear whether they will stream their scrimmage. The scrimmage is Saturday at 9:00 am.
