The Gophers have eight defensemen on the roster next season. All eight are NHL draft picks. Never leave us, Mike.

Did Bredstedt get drafted? (Too lazy to go through all the drafts.)

Nope. Collins (2nd - Columbus), Glover (3rd - Winnipeg), Johnson (4th - LA), and Ramsey (7th - Chicago) did.

Would be nice to have the reassurance that scouts thought enough of him to draft him. Also, if he has an awesome year in the first couple, he has more reason to take an offer.

BC seems to be stacked with high draft picks and future high picks. Will be interesting to see if they get hit by too many early departures as many have been quick to jump on tDon for recruiting too many in the past. Tuch going to the Wild has to make fans there happy, as they are prospect heavy.

Supposedly only three players under 5'9" drafted. Sheehy in the same boat.

how tall is Cammerata again?

About 5'7". I don't know how many under 5'9" were drafted last year, but I'm just saying obviously height was important this year.

I know, just saying if a player is really special, they will still take him. I don't know that the value of size would change that much in one year. The Rangers have some pretty small guys who did pretty well.....

Bristedt may have a better freshman year than Cammarata. We'll see. If he tears it up, he can still get taken in the next draft.

I don't see why it is a big deal. NCAA fans get too caught up in the draft stuff anyway. Kloos went undrafted too. I'll take guys like that any time.

Re: Minnesota Gophers Offseason Thread 2014 - Quick, Reload!

As the only undrafted Mr. Hockey since 2004, Justin Kloos is a full-on anomaly. This kid has a huge upside and why he's not drafted is a bit of mystery to me. Based on what I saw last season, Kloos has the ability to accelerate around defenders with elusive speed, has excellent puck and playmaking skills, and I think he's a natural goal scorer. Kloos had a better frosh season than Haula, Budish or Bjugstad, and nearly matched Rau's freshman season G total (18) with his 16 Gs. He had an excellent regional game against SCSU and was chosen Most Outstanding Player in the West Regional. He's on my list of players to watch this coming season.

You an NHL GM or something? Shouldn't you be watching every player on the Gophers?

Just...nevermind. Your gene pool obviously doesn't have a deep end.

Re: Minnesota Gophers Offseason Thread 2014 - Quick, Reload!

So now we're counting them out if they don't get drafted? I only wish the Union players knew their proper roles last season.
