There aren't many players
in college hockey who haven't been eligible for the NHL Draft yet.
Even most kids who go straight to college hockey out of high school
-- bypassing a year or two of junior hockey -- are old enough to be
drafted before they start college.
One of the exceptions to this general rule is Harvard freshman
defenseman Danny Biega. The blue-liner should be a second- or
third-round pick this summer, and he has only helped himself with a
steady first season for the Crimson.

Every Tuesday, FanHouse profiles the top NHL prospects playing
college hockey.
Biega -- who has two older brothers,
Alex (NHL rights: Buffalo) and Michael (undrafted), also playing
for Harvard -- scored two goals during a weekend sweep of Princeton
to start the ECAC playoffs. The Crimson, who finished tied for
ninth in the final league standings, won 4-2 Friday (thanks to four
third-period goals) and 3-0 Saturday to move into a quarterfinal
series at Cornell this weekend.
