[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 351411, member: 122"] I'm not positive, but I'm guessing Johnson is 19. We do have AAA midgets here also, last I heard Shattuck was the #1 rated team in the country and earlier this year they were beaten by a MN high school team (they only play 2 games a year against h.s. teams). Crosby played at Shattuck a couple years ago; it's an excellent program but it takes some serious $ to go there. There are more and more players being drafted out of the US college system, I think the talent is very close if not equal to the WHL. The Gophers for instance have at least 15 players that have been drafted by NHL teams on their roster. I don't know how that compares to WHL teams. The WHL is a much harder grind than college though, but college give players a lot more practice and is also a good place to develop. I don't follow the NHL close enough to have any input on trades. I will watch the Wild when they are on TV and went to 1 game this year, so I guess they would be my favorite team. But I have 4 kids in hockey so I rarely get time to watch much hockey outside of my kids games. But Buffalo looks good, and I would probably go with Aneheim as Giguere will probably be tough to beat in the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
