BUFFALO --
Each has joint citizenship in the United States and Canada, is the son of a former NHL player (Jeff Chychrun, Jeff Brown) and is in the top 10 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters (Chychrun is No. 4; Brown is No. 7) for 2016. And they're roommates in Buffalo as they await the first round of the draft Friday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, SN, TVA Sports). Rounds 2-7 will be Saturday (10 a.m. ET; NHLN, SN, TVA Sports 2).
"Jake Chychrun and I are roommates this weekend here, and we were sitting there last night and out of the blue he said, '[Logan], we're getting drafted into the NHL tomorrow night,'" Brown said Thursday during a prospect event at the Buffalo Erie Basin Marina.
