No Tyler McCracken on 16's is an absolute crime, kid is a top 5 D in state for 08 class

[westsidescout]

For 16's the following kids have a waiver to national camp via making NTDP 40 man camp back in March:

Dakotah Bailey - F - Gentry Academy
Jimmy Egan - F - Mahtomedi
Nate Pederson - F - Shakopee
Nate Celski - D - White Bear Lake
Kaenen Smith - G - Duluth Marshall
Xavier Wendt - G - Shattuck St. Mary's

I'll be curious as to how many other MN kids get at-large bids as we all know MN kids should be dominating in terms of numbers

Only 2 kids on each team I disagree with, think evaluators did a pretty good job this year.

Hard to believe Casey was not also taken as a 17 goalie.
He was #1 last weekend followed closely by Conway .
They were neck and neck last season as well. I guess they could only take one , very hard choice

Ironic they both rotated in goal in the regular season , and will likely both rotate again next year . Kerr and Cruitt are both fantastic also , (Cruitt got the nod for the 16s camp. )

I thought Casey was 55-45 over Conway based on last weekend...both certainly deserving. i still think Krey is going to be the best in that 07 group over the long run.

Cruitt is fortunate that Wendt, Smith & Carrithers were all invited to NTDP camp and opened up a path for him. On paper he was outplayed by Finn of Rosemount and Schreiber of Mankato West last wknd...but they're both like 5'9" and Cruitt is 6'4" so I get why he got the nod.

Yeah size matters. Cruitt was 4th out of 6 last weekend in sv% and 5th in GAA

Aside from the McCracken snub at 16's I thought Liam Schultz (Ashton's little brother) deserved to go, he looked good all wknd. I have to think McCracken gets an at-large bid.

The good thing about Minnesota sending 14 to NTDP camp is that it opened doors for a lot of really good players who may have been stuck behind them in previous years.

I was surprised Mason Minor didn't get the nod at 17's on D

For 17's - Minor will get a USA Hockey invite. As will Mason West.
