With another draft in the books and unrestricted free agency still a few days away, I thought now would be a good time to review the selections.
I won’t be giving out grades since I haven’t seen all the drafted players but will take note of the six clubs who stood out in my opinion and did well in finding talent that will have a legitimate chance to play, and in some cases excel, in the NHL, especially since I’ve seen and studied up on all the 1st round picks with the exception of Ryan Johnson (BUF, 31th) while writing the draft preview pieces.
