In a draft where nothing is certain, Mason MacTavish and William Eklund are two forwards that seem to be consistently ranked in the top half of the first round (Eklund is typically projected in the top six). The Detroit Red Wings could be facing a tough choice at six, as there’s a good chance both will be on the board.
