"There are many exciting prospects to watch, but I would pay extra attention to North Dakota captain Dillon Simpson, an Edmonton Oilers draft pick who grew up in Edmonton."3.

"Minnesota goaltender Adam Wilcox has been turning heads with solid performances and some truly great numbers this season." ' ' '
