With the first pick of the second round in the 2016 NHL Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected Russian for forward Yegor Korshkov.
When Lou Lamoriello and Brendan Shanahan spoke following the end of the first round on Friday, they spoke of their selection of Auston Matthews as just the beginning. After they dealt their 30th overall pick as part of a package to acquire goaltender Frederik Andersen, their first round played out rather predictably.
But they expected Saturday's rounds 2-7 to be busy ones.
"As far as moving picks, I think you'll probably see some of that tomorrow because there will be certain types of players that might be on one team's sort of priority list that is available and they might feel as thought they might lose him," Lamoriello told reporters.
