This is a classic college hockey post. Everyone highlights the NHL prospects or the players playing for the top college teams. Some that are being overlooked:
Chris Moran, Niagara - leads all freshmen in scoring. I've seen him a couple times and he's looked very good. Gets overlooked because of the big guns on Niagara.
Brandon Wong, Quinnipiac - haven't seen him but I've heard good things. 10 goals in 12 games as a freshman speaks to that.
To be honest, the freshman class hasn't been terribly great this year to this point. They've had stretches of good play (Barriball started hot, Okposo consistent, etc.) but no one has really dominated. Alot of guys doing well.
I echo that, maybe we can get him to sign on after the Gophers season is over this year and get him some time in the AHL or even with the big club.
thank goodness, because we all know.. we are going to need him to save the Blues.

Perkovich is named CCHA Rookie of the Week
Rookie forward leads CCHA freshmen in goals scored
Nathan Perkovich
Nov. 20, 2006
FARMINGTON HILLS - Lake Superior State freshman forward Nathan Perkovich was named Central Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Week after picking up two goals and an assist in last weekend's 3-0 and 4-2 victories over Wayne State.
Perkovich scored the winning goal on Friday, and was named the game's first star Saturday after notching a goal and an assist. He drew the assist on Troy Schwab's 4-on-4 game-winning goal at 17:17 of the third period.
Perkovich, a 6-5, 200-pounder from Canton, Mich., is leading the Lakers (8-4-0) in goals scored with eight and has three assists so far this season. He is tied for first in the CCHA in power-play goals with five. He is tied for sixth in the league in goals scored and is ranked No. 1 among freshmen in that category.
Andreas Nodl is now leading all NCAA freshmen in points per game (1.50). Unfortunately for SCSU, he's already declared that his ultimate goal is the NHL and Philly is desperate for RW's right now.
