Hey, all! We are hurtling faster and faster toward the i) NHL Expansion Draft and ii) NHL Entry Draft, so this preamble is just to advise you that we will have tons of coverage for you on both these topics over the next few weeks.
Firstly, our Scouting Profiles will continue highlight ten prospects we feel could be selected by the Winnipeg Jets on June 23, 2017 in Chicago, IL. This series will run Monday to Friday ending next week. Additionally, we will have a few rookie mock drafts for you as well as a mock draft for the Expansion Draft once teams have submitted their protected lists.
So, yeah, stick around with us for the next few weeks!
