There have already been a couple of posts about incoming Freshamn being selected in the recent NHL draft. I can add one more name, Mark Murphy, frosh-to-be at RPI, was chosen in the 8th round by Toronto. I am confused. (So what else is new? :-) ) I thought that incoming freshman could not be drafted unless they declared, but this would make them not eligible to play in college. Is it connected with their age perhaps? Does anyone know why these incoming freshamn could be drafted, but many more could not? Ralph Baer RPI '68, '70, '74 Oh yeah. Mark Murphy used to play for the Redskins (Washington, not Miami) and thus was draft-eligible,. :-)
