That was one interesting first round of the NHL draft -- fitting for a Las Vegas show.
Everything from Beckett Sennecke going No. 3 overall and swearing on TV, to Celine Dion and Michael Buffer's surprise appearances, to Zeev Buium falling into Minnesota's laps at 12. Plenty of pick-swap trades, as expected, but nearly every lottery pick stayed put.
The use of technology inside Sphere with player mosaics was different and cool, allowing for innovative graphics, introduction videos and in general an immersive experience.
Centralizing the draft in Vegas at Sphere was a fun and unique approach given how different it is from an NHL arena.
