Summary
The NHL offseason exploded into action during Draft Week, with blockbuster trades, superstar trade requests, players refusing destinations they don't view as contenders, and draft picks changing hands at a dizzying pace. While the days leading up to the draft delivered plenty of drama, Draft Day itself was a little more predictable, highlighted by the Toronto Maple Leafs selecting Gavin McKenna first overall and the San Jose Sharks landing two potential franchise cornerstones in the Top 10. With free agency set to open on July 1, the fireworks are far from over as teams across the league continue reshaping their rosters in pursuit of Stanley Cup contention next season.
