A pretty uneventful first round as the only trades we saw were the two involving the Calgary Flames. Usually we see a little more action on day 1 of the draft but that wasn’t the case here. Also, not to many off the board picks either the only real out of nowhere pick was the Blue Jackets pick.
Rounds 2-7 of the draft will be tomorrow starting at 11:30am on the NHL Network. Don’t forget free agency opens up on Friday as well and I’ll have you covered with all the signings and trades that go down.
