Sanguinetti named to US U-20 National Team

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes, reports that Rangers 2006 1st-round pick Bobby Sanguinetti, a New Jersey native, has been named to the United States Under-20 National Team...

"...Nineteen-year-old Bobby Sanguinetti---who was born in Trenton, and was the team's first-round pick in 2006 (21st overall)---- has been named to the United States Under-20 National Team to play at the 2008 IIHF World Junior Championships in the Czech Republic, which begin Dec. 26.

Sanguinetti has 17 goals and 23 assists in 28 games for the OHL's Brampton Battalion. He leads the league's defensemen in goals and points (40), and is 14th overall in scoring..."

...this kid is absolutely tearing it up in Juniors right now. Not sure how his defensive abilities are, but his offense looks amazing.

...put this kid on a d-pair with a stay at home defenseman and you could have your next Leetch-Beukeboom pairing.
