Who else?
Are you sure about Michael Sit?
The 25 man roster is supposedly the final roster. I forgot to mention that Steven Fogarty is also on it.

It looks like both of them are on Muskegon's 35 man roster, which may or may not mean they'll be on the "final" 25 man roster released July 1st. I'll hold off adding them to the list until then. Grant Besse was also on the 35 man roster.

I think that is right. I doubt any of the MN kids selected by the USHL will play there this year which in addition to the kids above includes
Reilly - Sioux Falls
Controneo - Waterloo
Welinski - Green Bay
Everson - Waterloo
Molenaar - Green Bay
Rudnick - Fargo
Boyd - Green Bay (NTDP)
Reid - Omaha
Frawley - Green Bay
Labate - Waterloo
Schutt - Lincoln
Horn - Omaha
Camerenasi - Waterloo
Erickson - Sioux City
Zajac - Waterloo
Rau (directly to MN in 2011)
Bahe - Sioux City
Wilcox - Green Bay

Are you talking about drafted or rostered? The two Edina boys are on Chicago's 25 man, season opener ready roster. I suppose that could still change, but it would mean Chicago is bringing back somebody they've already cut or will be have to find replacements from some other source.

Don't they have to trim rosters from 25 to 23?
After the showcase... yes. But why would any of us have reason the believe that THOSE two will be THE two?

My only point is that based on past history... the odds are against MN High Schoolers leaving for the USHL. I have no doubt that these two or any of the kids on my above list are qualified to play in the USHL..

Fair enough. My criteria for including anybody on the list is that it's been reported by a credible source or they're on a 25 man roster. Seeler, Bullock, and Besse aren't on the list because they've only been named to a 35 man roster.
I have no doubt that the majority of Minnesota high schoolers who are good enough to play in the USHL next season will choose NOT to do so. Personally, I'm a college fan first, all things state of Minnesota second, and all things hockey third. So I'll be honest that it doesn't bug me too much when high schoolers leave for juniors. It bugs me more when they leave for AAA programs, as I don't feel (in most cases) that it will significantly help them get to college, and it uncecessarily dilutes the MSHSL.
Some of these rostered players might be planning to do a "before and after" type thing.... Play in the USHL until Novembe HS practice starts, and then go back to the USHL once their team is eliminated.

I would not be so sure on Brady Skjei at this point. He has had a tough week in Rochester. Unless they locked him into a spot prior to this event, he is going to have a difficult time making the team.
