Five skaters using Memorial Cup to influence upcoming NHL Draft Globe_Sports
The majority of draft-eligible skaters in the Canadian Hockey League have run out of time to showcase their skills ahead of this summer’s NHL draft with playoffs finished and three league champions crowned.
The lucky few playing in the Memorial Cup have a chance to potentially alter their draft stock, either by gaining the attention or changing the mind of a scout in watching the four-team national major junior championship. This year’s event isn’t deep in high-end prospects and no one is bumping American Jack Hughes or Finland’s Kaapo Kakko from the top of the rankings. But there are two possible mid to late round first-round picks available and a handful of others that could hear their name when the NHL draft goes in Vancouver June 21-22.
