A week old, but in case you missed this story...

Lots of SSMers and MSHSLers on the list.

Could be a record number of potential Minnesotans.

Of course the number of actual Minnesota selections would be limited by the NTDP regional allocations (direct or indirect)

Nice article. Although I would say it misses many high end MN boys.

I would agree. Which ones do you think they missed?

Of course, this is just *his* opinion.

I would bet the actual list is different.

I hope the *his* opinion is for the guy that wrote the article and not me Puck! But no 99 list is complete without the big AP from SSM. Anybody who skips his name is no hockey expert! My son has played with him many times over the years and he is a dominant player.

I am going to have to disagree with you Song... I have studied Pratt all summer and he is definitely an elite player but he is much more physically mature than all of his peers. He is an excellent power forward at this point. However, his style is typically not one that the NTDP generally goes after. I think Pratt would be much better off and I see him heading this route, to the CHL in Canada. His style will be much better received by coaches up there.

The opening of the article, as well as the title, makes it pretty clear that the list is limited to players that played in the NAHL Showcase, which Pratt did not play in.
