Day 2: The Penguins actually get to draft

The first round of the NHL draft last night was fairly quiet and went off about as expected. There were no major trades during the event, outside of Calgary twice moving back in the first round and collecting some extra draft capital.

Today at 11:30 the NHL will get Rounds 2-7 going, with the Penguins finally scheduled for their first pick at No. 77 overall, barring any trade moves they pull. Pittsburgh picks in rounds 3, 4, 5 and 6 this year, with various trades taking away their picks.

Last night, the Pens would have had pick 15, had they not traded it for Kasperi Kapanen.
