It’s time for the SB Nation 2018 NHL Mock Draft to get underway. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to kick things off. So without further ado...
With the first pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft the Buffalo Sabres select defenseman from the Frolunda Indians of the SHL, Rasmus Dahlin.
Not a lot of suspense this year in the first round for the Sabres. They finally got the ping pong balls to bounce their way and have the luxury of selecting first overall. The luck continues this time around as one of the best defense prospects to come out in a very long time happens to be the unquestioned top pick in the draft.
