NHL Draft: Sützle in Draisaitl's footsteps - Rossi drafted 9th

The NHL draft was for hockey talent Tim Stützle For a few minutes it was as exciting as a quiz show - until host Alex Trebek of the legendary program “Jeopardy!” said his name and he knew: the Ottawa Senators were his new team. The 3-year-old attacker was selected by the team from Canada's capital in third place and thus as early as the currently best NHL professional Leon Draisaitl six years ago. “That was great, he said nice words,” said the Mannheim player early on Wednesday morning in a video press conference, connected from Mannheim. There, together with his family and teammates from Adler Mannheim, he followed the allocation of rights to the talent in the strongest ice hockey league in the world. Just seconds after the decision, he had put on a Senators jersey with his name and the number 88 on the back over his stylish white shirt with a black bow tie. ICE striker still has to be patient Contrary to hopes, the German was not selected in the first round John Jason Peterka , who is currently causing a sensation in the ICE Hockey League for Red Bull Salzburg. The Minnesota Wild are the future club of Austria's great ice hockey talent Marco Rossi . The former club of Thomas Vanek and Christoph Brandner selected the 19-year-old from Vorarlberg at number 9. Rossi is the first Austrian since Michael Grabner and Andreas Nödl in 2006 to be drafted by an NHL club. Only Vanek, who was selected number 2003 by the Buffalo Sabers in 5, was drafted higher than the center. Lafreniere wins the race As expected, the New York Rangers were number one in this virtual draft Alexis Lafreniere decided. The Los Angeles Kings then secured it Quinton Byfield . In the annual drawing, the 31 NHL clubs secure the rights to 217 global talents aged 18 and 19. The draft continues at 17.30:2 p.m. Central European time with the 7nd of a total of XNUMX rounds.
