Thursday FTB: Day one of the NHL entry draft is here

The NHL Entry Draft is here! It is hosted at the Bell Centre in Montreal, the first draft to be hosted in person since the pandemic. It should be a fun affair, especially for the people who actually had flights successfully arrive in time — that apparently was a problem for many, including the flight taking the Stanley Cup there.

Here are the details you will want to know.

HOW TO WATCH

Draft Day One — Tonight, July 7th

  • Start time: 7 pm EST
  • Broadcasts: ESPN, ESPN+, Sportsnet and TVAS
  • Rounds: One, the lonliest number

Draft Day Two — Tomorrow, July 8th

  • Start time: 11 am EST
  • Broadcasts: NHL Network, ESPN+, Sportsnet, and TVAS
  • Rounds: 2 through 7

TORONTO’S PICKS

Going into the draft — as of writing this — Toronto will have three picks:

  • Pick #25
  • Pick #79
  • Pick #218

There is a chance that this list changes at some point in the next two days.
