Day 2 of the 2015 NHL draft is in the books in Sunrise, Florida.
Another 181 players were selected in rapid-fire fashion, including some highly regarded players that could turn out to be potential second- and third-round steals.
The tradewinds also continued to blow, especially on the goalie front, where Cam Talbot, Eddie Lack, Anton Khudobin and Antti Niemi all changed teams.
In addition to acquiring Talbot, the Edmonton Oilers also traded away defenseman Martin Marincin and replaced him with Eric Gryba, while the Anaheim Ducks and New York Rangers swapped restricted free agents Emerson Etem and Carl Hagelin.
Though the draft is complete, the wheeling and dealing will almost certainly continue over the next several days. Trades still need to be made, and teams have the opportunity to court players who will become free agents on July 1.
As expected, Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel grabbed the headlines as the top prospects in this year's deep draft class. Expect to see plenty of other players from this group making an impact at the NHL level in the not-too-distant future.
