DU Recruit Will Butcher Possible 1st Round Pick

(above) DU recruit Will Butcher checks a Swedish Player
It's been a month since the conclusion of the NHL Entry Draft, but talk has begun on next year’s crop of young players. Next year’s draft class has already been pegged as one of the best in recent memory with highly skilled players at every position. University of Denver recruit Will Butcher is getting some buzz as a possible late first round pick
27. Will Butcher – D – USNTDP - A very skilled offensive defenseman, Butcher has a great first pass out of the zone, hockey sense, and the ability to quarterback a powerplay with keen precision. He has great stickwork that gets him out of trouble and can turn on a dime and explode down the ice.

Lord knows DU has to make up for this year's pathetic recruiting class.

Lord knows, give the boys a chance before making asinine comments. Jerkwad.

I thought from the title that this was a story about how a DU recruit was gonna clobber some possible 1st round pick. But still, sounds optimistic...

cc fans definitely know something about freshman classes that contribute nothing, however this DU class will be fine (per usual)...

Roster is up for the season on the DU website. Missing in action are Arnold, Levin, and Olszewski. Anybody know what their status is? I'm assuming the Danimal is not coming back. Did Arnold and Levin get delayed a year?

DU can't post names on the roster until the players are enrolled in school. So, Arnold & Levin will likely show up on the roster once the Fall Quarter starts.

The other Freshmen already on the roster are probably enrolled in summer school.
