We’ve almost made it: everyone of note in the NHL is making their way from Las Vegas to Chicago today, preparing for the start of the 2017 NHL Draft. Tomorrow night, 31 players will hear their name called, walk up on stage, shake Gary Bettman’s hand, and pose for some really odd publicity photos.
As is tradition here, our staff has done a mock draft of the first round. Kevin and Justin, who have been splitting duties profiling some of the prospects that the Carolina Hurricanes could target with the 12th pick in the draft, have put together their idea of how the first round could go tomorrow night.
