An upcoming superstar has just broken Jonathan Toews record
Among the deepest drafts in 20 years, this one promises to be one of the best. Among the first 10 picks, there will be so many future generational talents, including the Chicago Blackhawks. The world now knows that the Blackhawks will select Connor Bedard as the first overall pick in this year's draft.
Another player who will be a household name for another team is Adam Fantilli. The six-foot-two 187-pound centre who is from Nobleton Ontario Canada, is expected to be drafted in the top three. Currently, with the University of Michigan, Fantilli played 36 games, scored thirty goals with 35 assists for 65 points and had 67 penalty minutes.
After Canada won the gold medal today against Germany, hockey Canada tweeted out that fan Tilly surpassed former Blackhawk captain Jonathan Toews as a Canadian who won both the World Championships and the world juniors in the same year.
It's an exciting time in hockey, with the Stanley Cup final on the horizon and the NHL Entry Draft at the end of June.
Many teams in the NHL jockeyed themselves to be in a spot to draft one of these talents. It's going to be interesting to see how they all pan out in the years to come.
