Then it goes right back to George McPhee and the Vegas Golden Knights.
The first National Hockey League draft in Chicago began with another 18-year-old forward, with Swiss center Nico Hischier going No. 1 overall to the New Jersey Devils.
There was a lot of pressure on Devils general manager Ray Shero to make the right decision with the franchise's first No. 1-overall selection in the National Hockey League draft. "It'd be an honor (to go first overall), but at the end of the day I don't care if I go one, two, three, four".
But this is, I think, once the dust has settled now with expansion in terms of Vegas making all the selections or trades, whatever theyve done, it really puts into focus again OK, the draft itself, which is important for every team..
In many ways, the New Jersey Devils at No. 1 will determine who the Flyers will get at No. 2. With so many picks to use this draft, expect Vegas to stock up on franchise talent for the future.

Mr Corbyn said it also includes the Muslim leaders who immediately sought "to support the community and bring about peace". She told The Sun: "My son is no terrorist - he's just a man with problems and I don't know how to cope with all this".
McPhee continued his moves Thursday, swinging two trades to add draft picks in place of claimed players who might not have made the Golden Knights' roster.
Defensemen Alexei Emelin (Montreal), Deryk Engelland (Calgary), Jason Garrison (Tampa Bay), Brayden McNabb (Los Angeles), Jon Merrill (New Jersey), Marc Methot (Ottawa), Colin Miller (Boston), Griffin Reinhart (Edmonton), Luca Sbisa (Vancouver), David Schlemko (San Jose), Nate Schmidt (Washington), Clayton Stoner (Anaheim), Trevor van Riemsdyk (Chicago).
Glass was selected by the expansion Vegas Golden Knights with their first-ever pick Friday night, going No. 6 overall as part of a parade of forwards at the top of the National Hockey League draft.
"When you have three picks, it's a lot to manage". He's more of a pass-first player than a shoot-first player, but he doesn't seem to lean on one single tendency within games - which makes him tough to anticipate in the offensive zone and creates headaches for defenders. "Our guys, our amateur staff, if you look the last three or four years, they've done a really good job. But it's a good problem to have". Patrick, whose father, Steve, and uncle James both played in the NHL, held the top spot in the NHL Central Scouting Departments final rankings in April.
In his first, and probably only, season with the Halifax Mooseheads, Hischier registered 38 goals and 87 points in 57 games while leading them to a surprise playoff berth. They now have 13 draft picks for the upcoming draft, including three in the first and three in the second. "So it doesn't matter to me". No, there wasn't a Connor McDavid or an Auston Matthews on the board, so this year's class doesn't have quite the pizzazz the last two groups offered. "Obviously it was a tough year for me, but I think it makes me stronger as a player".
