NHL Draft Mock: Final First Round Predictions

1. Florida Panthers: Aaron Ekblad

If the Panthers do end up keeping the first overall pick, than Ekblad will be a little too hard for them to pass up.

2. Buffalo Sabres: Sam Bennett

The Sabres are clearly in rebuilding mode and aren’t in a rush with their prospects. Bennett’s skill and a few years in the minors will make him the perfect guy.

3. Edmonton Oilers: Leon Draisaitl

Not entirely convinced the Oilers hold onto this pick as they are looking for a defenceman.
