Players Taken in NHL Draft with Wisconsin Ties

In last night's NHL draft, several players were taken with ties to Wisconsin. They are:

#51 Nigel Williams (COL)-USNTDP-He dropped much lower than any pre-draft rating I could find. Will attend UW next year.
#56 Blake Geoffrion (NSH)-USNTDP-Is from Tennessee so he'll eventually be playing close to home. Will attend UW next year.
#63 Jamie McBain (CAR)-USNTDP-Carolina has several older defensemen so there should a good amount of turnover there in the coming years. Will attend UW next year.
#116 Derrick LaPoint (FLA)-Eau Claire North H.S.-Will likely play in USHL next season, and has verballed to North Dakota.
#157 Brent Gwidt (WSH)-Lakeland H.S.-First round draft pick of Indiana Ice of the USHL where he will play this season. Potential UW target for 2008 or 2009.
#192 Chris Hickey (MIN)-Cretin Derham Hall-Has a chance to play for the hometown Wild. Verballed to UW for 2008.

One surprise was that UW Freshman Ben Street was not drafted. He had been ranked by several publications.
