Some players to keep an eye on as the selections continue to come off the board are winger Mathis Preston, center Yegor Shilov, and defenseman Xavier Villeneuve. Preston (5-foot-11, 176 pounds) is as electric as they come with every offensive tool in the toolbox, but didn’t produce as much as expected in his draft year. Shilov (6-foot, 177 pounds) is a calculated, play-controlling center who may lack the top-end pace desired by many. Villeveuve (5-foot-11, 162 pounds) is an offensive dynamo from the backend, but frame and projectability like his has caused many of his ilk to drop to the second round.
