Krygier is a surprise omission no?
From what I saw at the YOG, IMO yes.
Krygier is a surprise omission no?
Also surprised at no Krygier and DeRidder. They were both excellent at the YOG. Two Minnesotans in goal, so they weren't options for the YOG, and they're both bigger than DeRidder.
biggest omission for me is Brinkman as from everything I heard this kid should be a top 4 on this team. very confused on this one to be honest, but still loaded overall like the 92 blue line was a few years back.
Krygier is a bit shocking due to his YOG performance but only so many spots to go around and you likely had to pick both Samuelsson kids and not just one- package deal (though both deserving).
lots of great forwards and only so much room for them.
and I would like to reiterate again, Blade Jenkins is the real deal!
YHH has learned that three players declined their invite - Ben Brinkman (Edina HS), Gavin Hain (Grand Rapids HS) and Jaxon Nelson (Luverne HS)
I don't get why you would go to this camp if you were planning on turning the offer down...seems weird to me. these kids knew this group would be loaded so if you had any feeling you wouldn't get a top role, then why go unless you want to stay in good graces with USA Hockey and just show up and go through the motions.
To see where you stack up against the best players in the nation?

Package deal? They aren't brothers.
their fathers are brothers and they are cousins...not far fetched for them to say if you want one you pick us both...purely my speculation but I couldn't see just one making it to be honest.
Ulf and Kjell aren't brothers or even related.
Full NTDP roster announced!

That top-6 is stacked and the D is incredible.
Gotcha. Do you know where they plan to play?
Nelson will play with Sioux Falls in the USHL.
Brinkman is only a ninth grader and he's a three sport athlete. Apparently he wants to keep playing all three sports so I think it's a safe bet he'll return to Edina.
I would imagine Hain will return to Grand Rapids.
Saginaw and Sarnia went pretty heavy on US kids...London does their usual few US kids and eve Hamilton went pretty solid with US kids.
I have been talking about Blade Jenkins as one of the next bright ones, but even I am shocked he went 4th with his USNDP commitment. Pretty crazy, then Saginaw follows that up with Bode Wilde..could be a special draft if they get both to come at some point. Two very high picks on US kids with the USNDP. Same with Weiss at 15.
Surprised Krygier went as low as he did, he likely reports but still shocked there...kind of like how low Cam Dineen went which made no sense to me either at the time.
