Sleepers: North American forwards
Here are the best North American forwards available in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft after the first two rounds.
Draft profile: Olli Juolevi
With a combination of high-end skating, smarts, and skill, the puck-moving defenceman would be a welcome addition to the Montreal Canadiens.
Draft profile: Tyler Benson
One of the top prospects at the beginning of the year, there is a chance that Benson slips out of the first round altogether.
Draft profile: Vitali Abramov
If you're looking to add some offensive firepower in the draft, look no further than Vitali Abramov.
Draft Profile: Logan Brown
The 6'6" centre from the Windsor Spitfires is expected to go in the upper half of the first round this year.
Draft Profile: Sam Steel
The young Centre from the Regina Pats in the WHL has a penchant for putting up some pretty nice assists.
Draft Profile: Mikhail Sergachev
After coming over to the OHL from Russia, Mikhail Sergachev burst onto the scene, and now he's one of the top defenders in the NHL draft.
Draft Profile: German Rubtsov
The "Russian factor" seems to have had little effect on the rankings of the young centreman, who projects as a mid first-round pick.
Draft Profile: Kieffer Bellows
With all the tools of an elite sniper, Keiffer Bellows should be long gone when the first round is over this year.
