Casey Fitzgerald was selected 86th overall by Buffalo in this weekend's NHL Draft. Fitzgerald went un-drafted last year, but had an impressive freshman season for the Eagles.
As a freshman, Fitzgerald impressed with his quick adjustment to the college game. He scored 4 goals and recorded 23 assists. He was tied for 4th on the Eagles in assists - his brother, Ryan, also had 23. Fitzgerald also had a +/- of +27. Fitzgerald should be an even more important member of BC's defense next season following a summer of departures for BC. The Eagles will call on him to step up and take a leadership role over the young defensive corps.
