List of 2018 NHL Draft Prospects

This Friday, June 22, 2018 marks the NHL Entry Draft taking place in Dallas.  Seems like an interesting draft this season as the concensus top pick is Rasmus Dahlin out of Sweden.  The Buffalo Sabres are slated to pick first (barring a trade). Here is a look at the top players eligible in this year’s draft.
