2012 TSN Midseason Draft Rankings

Not directly Devils or draft related but I thought this was rather interesting:

Buzzing the Net: College Hockey Inc. and the NCAA’s two-pronged tactic to stop summertime jumps to the CHL

College Hockey Inc., is working to enact legislation — either with the oversight of the NHL or through the transfer agreement between USA Hockey and Hockey Canada — to bar Canadian major junior teams from stealing a player who has signed a letter of intent until after the player's freshman year.

If this doesn't pass, there is the threat of declaring open season. North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol has been quoted several times about lobbying to re-open college hockey to former major junior players (remember, there was a time when someone could do each, before the NCAA enacted its short-sighted, self-defeating rule).

Future Considerations February 2012 Draft Rankings

Please please please I hope when the draft comes we draft this guy purely based on his name:

21). LW Stefan Matteau, USNTDP U18, USHL, 6-1.5, 210

Would love for him to score on the Rags in overtime in the playoffs sometime in the future.

I can dream.

Minnesota vs Denver is on NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus). In the 2nd right now. Good chance to get a look at Helgeson.

He almost got into a fight at the end of the 1st against Lee but neither player wanted to get ejected. He seemed really pumped up leaving the ice too.

I forgot to mention this game and also the Michighan-Michigan State game that was on BTN earlier. I'm pretty tired and have work fairly early in the morning so I haven't been watching these games as close as I'd like to.

Man I really hope Scarlett turns out to be a steal. I know a lot of people are pretty high on him. I notice a lot of his points come from the PP too.

Right handed d-man too, should be interesting to see if he can continue his PP success into the pro's. I'd love to see what he looks like on an average team or even above average team so we can see what his defensive game is really like. I suppose Swift Current trades him next year if they are horrible again.

The odds of having a poor team 3 years in a row is slim, they should be at least average.

Great article on Jon Merrill from the NY Times:

“As far as off the ice, I feel like it’s night and day,” Merrill said. “I’m just a really completely different person now. You don’t take hockey for granted, you get so close to losing it like that. I think my decision making is a lot better. I just wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize hockey anymore.”

A lot of quotes from his teammates and Berenson in there so I suggest reading the whole article.
