I just received a copy of John Gilbert's article on Jason Botterill
that appeared in COLLEGE SPORTS [thank you Justin D!].
 
The article also contained the following lists which I don't
remember seeing on Hockey-L.  [Apologies if this is
repeated info.]

  * Players who were not drafted.  Some may be selected in
    the NHL Supplemental Draft.
 
Jeez...maybe they should have called the list the top 25 free agents
from the CCHA, WCHA and Mass-Lowell. :-)
 
Of course, Lacher and Beddoes have signed with the Boston
Bruins and several of the other free agents still have collegiate
eligibility.  And, Morin has transferred to Clarkson since the
demise of Kent State.
