The NHL Draft is here, which means we finally get to learn where both Nico Hischier and Nolan Patrick will land.
The Draft can be a night filled with tension for the young players involved, but at this point in the process there’s not much left they can do to change teams’ minds, so it’s good to shake the nerves and think about less stressful matters. Like what a player is going to wear to the Draft!
