Badgers Players Watching This Week’s NHL Draft

The final rankings from the N-H-L Central Scouting bureau includes five players who have been recruited by Wisconsin Badgers coach Tony Granato.  The 2018 N-H-L Draft starts Friday in Dallas and lasts two days.  Defenseman K’Andre Miller could wind up being a first-round selection.  Forward Sampo Ranta was rated highest by the scouts, but few projections put him in the first round.  Eau Claire native Ty Emberson, a defenseman, West Salem forward Jack Gorniak and goaltender Daniel Lebedeff are three others who may hear their names called this weekend.
