The NHL Draft is just over two months away. It begins June 28 in Las Vegas.
Most NHL scouts have seen almost all they need to see before the draft begins. The last things left are junior hockey playoffs. Those will wrap up soon, too.

Thirteen locals made the final list, along with several other players with ties to the region.
Will they all get drafted? Let's discuss. Here are the biggest takeaways.
