The Wild selected Jason Zucker in the second round of the NHL Draft, making him the first person ever drafted from Las Vegas. "I might be the first, but I won't be the last," Zucker said. Americans were in remarkable demand during the weekend, starting with a record 11 U.S. citizens chosen in the first round. The 30 teams drafted 59 Americans, according to the NHL's measures of nationality, just shy of the 62 U.S. players chosen in 2007. "Hockey has really started changing," said forward Andrew Yogan, the NHL's first Florida born-and-trained draftee, chosen early in the fourth round by the New York Rangers. "I'm just excited to be the first one, and hopefully I'll open up a couple of doors for the guys after me. There's a lot of hockey talent in South Florida, and people don't know it yet."
