CHICAGO — The Golden Knights were looking for size and strength in Saturday’s NHL Entry Draft and they found plenty of both on Day Two.
The Knights had three picks in the second round and set the tone drafting 6-foot-6 defenseman Nicolas Hague with their first pick of the second round at No. 34. They traded their second pick, the 45th overall, to Columbus, for 6-2 power forward Keegan Kolesar. With their third second-round selection, they chose Jake Leschyshyn, a 5-11 center from the Regina Pats.
In the third round, the selection was Jonas Rondbjerg, a 6-foot right wing from Denmark.
