Hey there, time traveller!

Tyrel Seaman is telling the truth when he says he’s not focusing on the National Hockey League Entry Draft right now.
As evidence, the Brandon Wheat Kings forward was unaware when NHL Central Scouting released its preliminary rankings on Thursday and he was on the list.
The initial rankings group players by league and the 6-foot-2, 207-pound centre was rated 17th among Western Hockey League skaters for next year’s draft.
“It’s always good to be acknowledged on the level that they’re at, so it’s pretty exciting,” said Seaman, 17, who was ranked 54th among all players by the independent Red Line Report last month.
Wheat Kings forward Alessio Bertaggia was ranked 25th among WHL skaters by Central Scouting, while Corbin Boes was fifth among WHL goalies. Both are 18-year-olds who were not selected in this year’s draft.
Seaman has had a bigger role in the offence in his second season, with five goals and 12 points in 22 games and he could work his way up the draft board if that continues. But Seaman said he’ll worry about his game and not the draft.
“You can’t let that stuff get to your head, you’ve just got to go out there and play,” he said. “… Just do what you can and you can’t worry about anything else.”
