Well for most it is, but for two 18-year-olds &amp;#8212; Nick Leddy, who will attend Minnesota this fall, and Louis Leblanc, who's heading to Harvard &amp;#8212; that dream is a reality because the number 16 and 18 draft picks, respectively, now belong to their hometown NHL organizations.

            <description>MONTREAL &amp;#8212; College hockey quickly redeemed itself at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday with 10 college freshmen-to-be becoming NHL property in the second round. The onslaught of college players came a day after only seven collegians were drafted in the opening round and none among the top 15 overall picks.

            <description>MONTREAL &amp;#8212; The Edmonton Oilers made one of the most interesting selections on Saturday when, in the third round, they called the name of Troy Hesketh. Hesketh is committed to attend Wisconsin but won't do so until September of 2011. He is heading next year to play junior hockey in the U.S. Hockey League. Hesketh was not ranked by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau yet ended up the 71st overall ...</description>

            <description>MONTREAL &amp;#8212; There's no doubt that the pressure that is placed on 18-year-old kids at the NHL Entry Draft is unmatched, maybe even unfair. These kids trade skateboards and roller blades for business suits, sit through difficult job interviews with countless NHL general managers and have a media spotlight shone on them for three straight days. For college kids, that pressure is even stronger ...</description>
