Today, Mike kicks of The Cannon's review of the top prospects for the upcoming 2015 NHL Entry Draft, and that coverage will continue daily until the draft kicks off on June 26 - 27 in Sunrise, Florida. (No crowd jokes, please. O.K., maybe just a few). While the stories of McDavid and Eichel are compelling and provide great hope for the fans in Edmonton and Buffalo, there will be approximately 209 other kids chosen over those two days, each one of them lusting after a long and prosperous NHL career.
However, for every one of those guys taken, consider the thousands of kids hoping to be drafted -- whether those aspirations are realistic or not.
