I skipped over last month, what with the NHL trade deadline and all, but we are now just three months away from the NHL Entry Draft, and plenty of services have dropped new rankings on us, so it’s a fine time to take a look at how the first round is shaping up.
Of course this article is going to be of special interest to woeful teams like the Canucks and, for the first time in basically forever, the Red Wings. But that doesn’t mean that playoff teams like the Oilers, Flames and (probably) the Leafs should be neglecting the NHL draft, especially since all three of those teams still have their first round selections.
