NHL Draft 2015: Day 2 TV, Live Stream, Schedule, Order and Predictions
Day 1 of the NHL draft is history, but there are still six more rounds to run through as prospects far and wide hope to hear their names called Saturday.
As expected, Round 1 was consumed by wheeling and dealing after Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel were selected No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively, by the Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Sabres.
The Boston Bruins encapsulated that spirit, trading for an additional two first-round picks after sending left-winger Milan Lucic to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for the 13th overall pick and Dougie Hamilton to the Calgary Flames in return for the draft's 15th selection.

Predictions
Philadelphia Goes for Goaltending

Steve Mason did a commendable job in net for the Philadelphia Flyers last season, posting the highest save percentage (.928) of his career while going 18-18-11.
However, the team has a desperate need for depth behind the 27-year-old.
"Over the past five drafts, the Flyers have selected just two goalies: Anthony Stolarz (second round in 2012) and Merrick Madsen (sixth round in 2013)," CSNPhilly.com's Tim Panaccio wrote. "Obviously, they need to fortify an organizational weakness."
With Mason under contract for two more years at $4.1 million annually, per Spotrac.com, now feels like the right time for Philadelphia to start cultivating talent in net.
"We need to get some depth there," Flyers scouting director Chris Pryor said, per Panaccio. "It’s something that we’re paying attention to."
In possession of some extra Day 2 picks—including Nos. 70, 90, 98 and 99 overall—after trading Kimmo Timonen, Scott Hartnell and Braydon Coburn, there should be opportunities aplenty for Philadelphia to target young netminders like Matej Tomek, Ryan Larkin and Nick McBride.
Pittsburgh Targets Defense

The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't make a pick in the first round of the NHL draft, but they are slated to select at No. 46 overall when the second round gets underway.
A quick scan of Pittsburgh's roster reveals the team may be inclined to target a defenseman when it's finally on the clock.
The Tribune-Review's Jonathan Bombulie explains:
"Most of the young defensemen the Penguins accrued under general manager Ray Shero have been scattered around North America by nine trades made since 2009, not to mention waiver claims and free agency. The only high-end, NHL-ready, Shero-drafted defensive prospects that remain are Derrick Pouliot and Scott Harrington. Brian Dumoulin also largely fits the profile, but he wasn't a Penguins draft pick, coming in from Carolina in the 2012 Jordan Staal trade.
In other words, the prospect pool on defense has grown perilously shallow.
"
While Gabrielle Carlsson would have been a target of Pittsburgh's had the franchise been selecting in the top half of Round 2, he was scooped up by the Columbus Blue Jackets at No. 29 overall.
With Carlsson off the board, the Penguins could turn their attention to solid prospects like Vladislav Gavrikov or Oliver Kylington. Now, picking up Kylington could require a move into the first few picks of the second round, but if Pittsburgh circles the Swedish defenseman, perhaps general manager Jim Rutherford can move up for one of the top remaining players on the big board of TSN's Bob McKenzie:
And according to Rutherford, the team's stability at other positions should make defense a priority.
"All or most of them are going to be with the big team now and at some point, you have to replenish," he said, per Bombulie. "We have some good young goaltending throughout the organization. It won't be as big a priority. But the other two positions, we'll look at."
Rangers Go After a Winger

As Blue Shirt Banter's Joe Fortunato recently explained, the New York Rangers don't have one glaring positional void they need to fill when the second round starts. And that's a good thing, because right now, the Rangers aren't slated to pick until No. 59 overall.
Like the Penguins, the Rangers didn't own a first-round draft pick. Therefore, they'll be forced to settle for what the second round offers them, assuming a drastic move up isn't made.
But that doesn't mean a solid prospect won't be available when the Rangers ultimately step up to the podium.
One potential youngster who could be available when the 59th pick rolls around is Russian winger Nikita Korostelev. At present, Korostelev is the 69th-ranked prospect on McKenzie's big board, and for good reason.
"Korostelev is very good at getting into prime offensive position to get shot off," McKenzie wrote. "Has a very good shot that can beat goalies from 35 feet and it can explode off his stick. Very good on the power play and is that dangerous player you have to be aware when he’s on the power play."
Projected as an eventual "No. 2 scoring winger," according to TSN Director of Scouting Craig Burton, Korostelev and his wicked right-handed shot should be a hot commodity when Day 2 of the draft kicks off.
