[Saywhat?03]

How many Minnesotan's, excluding shattuck, got drafted in the NHL draft last year? I know its early. But I personally think it might be a stretch that all the minnesota high school players listed in the A/B group, and more looking at the B group that would even get drafted by a club.

.1 Nick Bjugstad
.2 Brock Nelson
.3 Zane Gothberg
.4 Mark Alt

2 for the Gophers- 2 for NDSU in my opinion......

[my2cents]

You can watch virtually all of these listed players in one location at the upcoming Elite I Invite playoffs in New Hope. It is one place where you can see how these guys stack up against top talent, rather than watch them rack up points against lower HS teams.

[smalltownhockey21]

When is this upcoming even My2cents?? I would really like to know would love to go watch these guys play.

[scoreboard33]

Anyone notice the size difference between A players and B players?

Thoughts

[BBB]

Thoughts?
Pro scouts like guys 6-2 and taller

[bstarr15]

small town, Goggle upper midwest elite league and you should be able to find the schedule for games and location,times etc. If your interested in some good hockey action that would be the place to be.

[wblhockeyfan8]

Well, I know for a fact that Ben Marshall has received scouting from Tampa Bay.

[O-townClown]

Well, I know for a fact that Ben Marshall has received scouting from Tampa Bay.

B players are scouted by every team.

[5thgraders]

Now That is funny

Had they scouted the C class or Clown class

You actually might have made it..

[toptitty96]

Herbert should move up into A when the new list comes out. He's really improved over the summer and I believe he leads elite league in points, and despite his size I see him being a really solid D1 player and a good recruit for an NHL team. He could very well lead the state in scoring this year for AA if he isn't taking penalties every game. He shdoul lead the Jags in the right direction.

[dangles23]

Not to take anything away from Herbert, but i would have to think Benik will lead the state in scoring.

[Prodigy Project]

i personally dont see gothberg as high as everyone else sums him up to be. remember hes playing in single A and hasnt faced to much of a compotition with thiefs schedule. When he brings the Prowlers to state then we can talk but I see the garentee warriors making another trip to the dance.

He plays 50% AA in the conference and non-conference game and he is the real deal.

[Toews is god 19]

This is a pretty early preliminary view. There will be players moving up and down as the season progresses
