The second day of the NHL’s Entry Draft proved another successful
one for BU as three incoming defensemen were selected in the third round and one
incoming forward and a 2018 blueliner heard their names called in the seventh
round.

Falls last season and won gold in the World Junior Championships, was selected
by Detroit at #71. Eleven picks later
(#82) Arizona grabbed Cameron Crotty,
the Brockville Braves defenseman voted the CCHL’s top prospect. NTDP U18
defenseman David Farrance went to Nashville at #92, joining sophomores Dante Fabbro and
Patrick Harper as Predator draft picks.
Logan Cockerill, one of three BU freshmen, along with
Farrance and Brady Tkachuk, who won gold in the World U18 Championship, was
selected by the Islanders at #201. Two slots later, 2018 recruit Ryan O’Connell,
a defenseman who will play in the BCHL for Penticton next season, was drafted
by Toronto.
