It took a little longer than most experts projected, but DU hockey defenseman Zeev Buium’s NHL dreams came true Friday night.
Denver defenseman Zeev Buium skates during the second period of an NCAA hockey game against Boston College on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Chestnut Hill, Mass. LAS VEGAS — It took a little longer than most experts projected, but Zeev Buium’s NHL dreams came true Friday night.
Buium became the fifth player selected in the first round in DU program history and the first Pioneers player to go in the first round since Henrik Borgstrom in 2016. He had 11 goals and 50 points in 42 games for the Pios. Not only did he prove to be an offensive dynamo at the college level, Buium earned praise for his 200-foot game and ability to defend players who were older, bigger and stronger than him.
Renck: Everyone knew Nuggets were taking center DaRon Holmes. This boring pick will only make sense if he contributes right away.
