VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- There are two completely distinct occurrences transpiring over the two days on any NHL Draft:
• The draft.
• The stuff people care about.
That's not to diminish the main event. The prospects chosen here, beginning Friday night with the first round, will make waves across the sport. This one will probably pick up on the opposite coast, mind you -- the Devils and Rangers go first and second and are expected to take exceptional talents Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko, respectively -- but it'll be felt everywhere eventually.
