Kyle Turris no longer a Badger - heads to NHL

We were all afraid this would be the case, but the kid is just spectacular and we had to know he wouldn't last long at UW. Congrats to Kyle!

Posted: March 31, 2008

The Phoenix Coyotes signed top draft pick Kyle Turris to an entry level contract on Monday.

The 18-year-old center was the third overall selection in the 2007 draft. Earlier this month, he was ranked as the second-best prospect in the National Hockey League by Hockey News magazine.

Turris just completed his freshman year at the University of Wisconsin, where he was the Badgers' leading scorer with 11 goals and 25 assists with 38 penalty minutes in 36 games.
