The first round and first day of the draft is done and not too many trades happened either. First off the Leafs selected Auston Matthews first overall which was no surprise, and he is the first American born player since Patrick Kane in 2007 to be picked first overall. Then right after that the Canadiens made two trades which had Lars Eller go to Washington for a 2017 and 2018 second round pick. They also got Andrew Shaw from the Blackhawks in exchange for the 30th and 45th overall picks for this year. Only 3 other trades happened after this so I'll just tell you guys now. The Blues traded Brian Elliot to Calgary for the 35th overall pick in this year's draft and a conditional 2018 3rd round pick. The Red Wings traded their 16th overall pick and Pave Datsyuk's contract to the Coyotes for their 20th overall pick, the 53rd overall pick, and forward Joe Vitale. The Last trade had the Devils trade their 11overall pick to the Senators for the 12th overall and the 80th overall. Anyways the Jets picked Patrik Laine 2nd overall which was no surprise, but the Blue Jackets surprisingly picked Pierre-Luc Dubois instead of Jesse Puljujarvi so the Oilers took him for the 4th overall pick. The Canucks picked 5th overall, Olli Juolevi ho will be a great skillful player for the Canucks.

Side note: This was the best draft for Americans since 12 of them got picked in the first round, and those people were Auston Matthews, Matthew Tkachuk, Clayton Keller, Logan Brown, Charles McAvoy, Luke Kunin, Jakob Chychrun, Kieffer Bellows, Max Jones, Riley Tufte, Tage Thompson, and Trent Frederic. Will any more trades happen? Will there be any surprises in day 2? Will these players become what they're expected to be? stay tuned....
