NHL Draft Eve buzz centers around several prospects: Daniil Prokhorov, Alexander Zharovsky, Semyon Frolov, Will Reynolds, and Vaclav Nestrasil. Prokhorov is expected to go in the first round, while Zharovsky and Nestrasil could be late first-round or early second-round picks. Reynolds' late-season surge has boosted his draft stock. The Penguins are reportedly very active, potentially trading up for Porter Martone or James Hagens. Hagens' stock may have slipped from earlier predictions, and Malcolm Spence's draft position is affected by an injury. Last-minute draft rankings tweaks place Cullen Potter lower.
