For now, Alex Pietrangelo is honored just to have the attention.
The standout defenseman from the Ontario Hockey League’s Niagara IceDogs is one of the gems in a deep 2008 NHL Entry Draft class and is touted as a franchise-type player for whichever National Hockey League team snaps him up in June.
But right now, the humble giant is enjoying the praise.
“It’s an honor to be named with the guys like (Drew) Doughty, (Zach) Bogosian and (Michael) Del Zotto,” said Pietrangelo, who was rated fifth in the mid-term rankings of draft-eligible players released by NHL Central Scouting last month. “They are all great players and everybody knows that any team that gets one of the top D (is) going to get a fine player.”
