NHL
As expected, the Maple Leafs opened the NHL Draft last night by selecting Penn State forward Gavin McKenna. The Sharks followed by taking Swedish forward Ivar Stenberg.
The Red Wings opened the day without a first-round pick, but gained one by trading goalie Sebastian Cossa to the Mammoth in return for the 23rd selection. They used that to take forward J.P. Hurlbert, who led the Western Hockey League with 42 goals and 55 assists in 68 games for Kamloops last season. He’ll join the University of Michigan hockey team this fall.
Rounds two through seven will take place today. Detroit will have seven picks, beginning with number-47 overall in the second round.
