NHL Draft

[Rita]

FWIW, USA Today has an article written by former NYI prospect Justin Bourne on the pros and cons of being drafted.

FWIW, the first season since 1998 no Cornellian or future Cornellian was taken.  26 were taken in those 11 intervening drafts.

That's true for today, but how can you tell who might be a future Cornellian?::whistle::

True, but have we ever had a guy commit after he was drafted?

Ken Dryden, for one.
I'm not sure about Dan Glover, but he was drafted a year prior to enrollment.
We've had a few others drafted a year earlier than enrollment, such as Greening, D'Agostino and Gotovets - but I think all of those were already destined for Cornell.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Iles and Cole were eligible. The balance are eligible for next years draft.

Watertown Daily Times article, via ECAC site, on Islanders picking Clarkson's third string goalie in the 7^th round.

Rosen, who is 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, was selected by Snow because the Islanders GM saw many similarities to his own beginnings.

Like Rosen, Snow was a third-string goalie early in his college career at Maine. But he went on to help the Black Bears to a national title in the 1992-93 season, as the team finished 42-1-2.

WTF?::screwy::or::stupid::or::demented::

And he turned out to be a crappy NHL goalie whose best skill was slashing.  So, uh, good luck with that.

Ice time shouldn't be at a big premium in Madison next year.  Wisconsin has lost a few great players from last year's NCAA-runner-up team.

[Drew]

Yes, Wisconsin did lose some players late to the NHL. However, it is interesting, Wisconsin went after Dartmouth recruit, Lindblad.  Seems that the Badgers like to go after Ivy recruits that don't sign LOI's.
