Buffalo Sabres To Pick Second In 2015 NHL Draft

As announced this evening, the Buffalo Sabres will hold the second-overall selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

The Edmonton Oilers won the draft lottery and will pick first overall for the fourth time in six years.

Connor McDavid, ranked as the top pick heading into the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, is still in the midst of his season with the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League.

McDavid began his OHL career in 2012, at the young age of just 15 years old. He was granted exceptional status and permitted to play in the OHL before the age of 16.
