The NHL Draft is upon us. Here is where teams start to chart new paths and where optimism is born again for those picking early after tough seasons on the ice. For the kids who will have their names called, this is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication paying off as they arrive on the biggest stage.
And, ladies and gentlemen, we hope to have some trades to announce, and analyze.
Coverage of Round 1 begins at 6:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and you can follow along here for all the picks, news and rumours as we analyze whatever unfolds in Montreal, as everyone returns for the first in-person draft in three years.
