Now that the Washington Capitals ended the 2017-18 season as Stanley Cup champions, all attention shifts to the offseason and the 2018 NHL Draft.
All 31 NHL teams will soon make their picks on June 22 an 23 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, and as the first round quickly approaches, NJ.com took another crack at making the first 31 selections in our latest Mock Draft.
Top prospects Rasmus Dahlin, Adam Boqvist, Quinn Hughes, Andrei Svechnikov, Brady Tkachuk, Filip Zadina and more will have a case to be a high selection on the first night of the Draft, where the Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators and Arizona Coyotes, Detroit Red Wings, Vancouver Canucks and Chicago Blackhawks own high picks.
