We’re days away from the 2017 NHL entry draft, and nobody really knows who will go first overall yet.

Oh, sure. It’s probably either Swiss center dynamo Nico Hischier or solid Canadian center Nolan Patrick. But let’s be clear: this draft does not have an Auston Matthews or a Connor McDavid or a Sidney Crosby. Nobody taken this year will save your franchise next fall.
Doesn’t that just make it more intriguing?
The lottery results do, too. The Devils, Flyers, and Stars all shockingly jumped into the top three ahead of the historically awful Avalanche and the expansion Vegas Golden Knights.
Anyhow, here’s the entire draft order, courtesy the wonderful CapFriendly. The NHL draft takes place in Chicago from June 23-24. The first round is on Friday and the final six rounds take place on Saturday.
