Unfortunately Budish has moved to the "Players You Can't Watch" list as a result of the ACL tear. Anyone know of a precedent? Does he get taken in the 2nd, or is he now more like a 5th rounder? He should recover, I'm sure, but so many people won't see him play.

I think Everson and Lee were draft-eligible last year as well.

I think he gets taken early in the second round and will be considered a steal.

College and beyond will be little affected by this setback. I think the most difficult aspects will be missing the Eden Prarie football game, the hockey season, the potential shot at the state title (how bittersweet would it be if the Hornets won it?), and having no shot at Mr. Hockey.

pitlick is too young for this years draft. the cut off is 9/14/91
he is born in november 91 so he misses the cut off so he will be on the list next year.
