BUFFALO – The first round of the 2016 NHL Draft is in the books here at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York, and the Ducks came away with two selections at No. 24 and 30 overall, respectively. The Ducks opted to hold onto their picks amidst trade rumors galore, most of which came about yesterday.
The atmosphere was electric inside the arena, with a heavy mix of Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs fans voicing their affiliations in a rather boisterous manner. Of course, it was the Arizona-native Auston Matthews who was selected first overall by the Leafs – a choice that seemed set in stone when Toronto won the draft lottery on April 30.
