First of all, thank you for listing this.
 
Secondly, isn't Kaj Linna too old to be drafted???
 
He has now graduated from BU.
 
What's the new rule?
 
In the past, players like he could only be taken in the
supplimental draft.
 
Although this is obviously an honor (being drafted), it also
inhibits his ability to choose to sign with the team that
might offer the best possibilities for advancement.
 
(Not to say that Ottowa is deep on defense, but now he can't
choose)
 
 
I was just a little surprised to see his name.

Former Ogre
 
 
PS - From the rumor mill:  An unconfirmed rumor says that BU alumni
goaltender Derek Herlofsky has been released by Dallas.  Any
confimation???
