It is the moment we have all been waiting for.

The first round of the 2021 NHL Draft got underway Friday with the Buffalo Sabres currently holding the first-overall selection.

Ahead of Friday’s festivities, 162 players from across the Canadian Hockey League have been listed in NHL Central Scouting’s Final Rankings, headlined by Peterborough Petes centre Mason McTavish who ranks second among all North American forwards. Edmonton Oil Kings right-wing Dylan Guenther, Barrie Colts defenceman Brandt Clarke, Flint Firebirds left-wing Brennan Othmann, and Medicine Hat Tigers centre Cole Sillinger round out the top-10 rankings.

Following opening-round action Friday, the 2021 NHL Draft will continue Saturday to complete rounds 2 through 7.
