MN high schoolers on NHL All-Minnesota team
Bjugstad, Martin, Leopold, Oshie, Lee, etc., etc. they all stayed through their senior years. Interesting read about a roster of current players made up solely of guys who came up through MN youth hockey and/or played MN HS hockey:

Surprised they included Leopold instead of Goligoski.....Sartellcelly wrote:Bjugstad, Martin, Leopold, Oshie, Lee, etc., etc. they all stayed through their senior years.

Forwards
W-Zach Parise Bloomington Wild
C-David Backes Spring Lake Park St. Louis
W-Dustin Byfuglien Roseau Winnipeg
W-Blake Wheeler Breck Winnipeg
C-T.J. Oshie Warroad St. Louis
W-Nick Bjugstad Blaine Florida
W-Brock Nelson Warroad N.Y. Islanders
C-Anders Lee Edina N.Y. Islanders
W-Kyle Okposo St. Paul N.Y. Islanders
W-Derek Stepan Hastings N.Y. Rangers
C-Matt Cullen Moorhead Nashville
W-Ryan Carter White Bear Lake Wild
Defense
Nick Leddy Eden Prairie N.Y. Islanders
Ryan McDonagh Cretin-Derham Hall N.Y. Rangers
Matt Niskanen Virginia Washington
Jake Gardiner Minnetonka Toronto
Jordan Leopold Robbinsdale Wild
Paul Martin Elk River Pittsburgh
Goalies
Alex Stalock South St. Paul San Jose
John Curry Breck Wild (AHL)
Leaving off Justin Faulk is definitely an error. Some others to consider include Alex Goligoski, Erik Johnson, and Matt Hendricks. In total, 39 players born in Minnesota played in the NHL at some point this season and that doesn't include Oshie or Goligoski.
EDIT: Comment from the columnist "u dont need to be born in MN to be on the list. youth/HS hockey roots are qualifications"

Long drive today so I did some research the bride drove.
Of the 40 players to play in the nhl this year, All but 3 played HS hockey at some point. (Parise, Byfuglin, Okposo)
Only 1 played major junior during HS (Byfuglin). The only other player to play in the whl at all was Pitlick and he played after he completed HS and a year at Mankato St.
27 of the players played HS hockey their senior year*
*could be off by a couple since I couldn't find info going back that far on a few players.

You could throw Braun on San Jose into that Mix. Eric Hartzell in the AHL also in the goalie mix.The Exiled One wrote:Forwards

There may be a few current NCAA kids that could push some of these guys within a year or two.
