It’s the event that Anaheim Ducks fans have been waiting for since the season ended in April. The 2019 NHL Entry Draft is upon us, and two picks await us on Friday night during the first round with five more picks in rounds 2-7 on Saturday. For the first time, since drafting Hampus Lindholm in 2012, the Ducks have a pick in the Top 10. They also have the 29th overall pick acquired from the Buffalo Sabres during the Brandon Montour–Brendan Guhle trade in February.
Prior to the Draft, 104 eligible draftees were invited to Buffalo to partake in the Scouting Combine.
