Keep updated here as we will update the draft picks (and the draft order, if there are any more trades) in real time.
While the very top of the draft is suspense-free, as the Buffalo Sabres are expected to take Owen Power, there is very little that can be confirmed after that in this year’s unprecedented circumstances.
The suspense will start with the second overall pick, which is also the first pick in Seattle Kraken history.
