NHL Draft 2016: Updated Order and Mock Draft After Stanley Cup Final

The NHL's focus shifts to the offseason now the Pittsburgh Penguins have been crowned champions after edging the San Jose Sharks in the Stanley Cup Final. The first major stop on the road to the new season is the 2016 NHL draft, starting June 24 in Buffalo, New York.

It's a well-rounded class of incoming prospects. Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine are the most promising players in terms of their potential to make an instant impact, but there's also plenty of depth when it comes to players who could become valuable assets with a few more years of seasoning.
