NHLDraft: Nagelvoort drafted by Oilers
Zach Nagelvoort taken #111 overall (21st pick of 4th round) by the Edmonton Oilers.
Congrats Zach and good luck down the road. You'll need it in Edmonton in 3 years unless all their #1 or #2 picks finally pan out.
Is he at risk of being plucked early by the OIL?
Doubt it. Goalies take longer to develop as it is and its not like he was a 1st round pick like Jack Campbell.
I wouldn't worry about him leaving early. Goalie development is a slow process.
Didn't even occur to me that he might get drafted
Nagelvoort was ranked 20 on the CSS goalie rankings in North America and off the top of my head, around 20 goalies were drafted today. Hayden Lavigne was 26 and was not drafted.
MSU commit Ed Minney was #7 and was not drafted either.
