There has been so much talk about the top two prospects in the upcoming NHL draft -- Windsor LW Taylor Hall and Plymouth C Tyler Seguin. All season long, we've wondered who'll be taken with the top pick.
Well, we won't know that until June 25, when the NHL draft opens in Los Angeles, but scouts that are still trying to separate the two talented teenagers will have an excellent opportunity over the next several days. As fate would have it, Windsor and Plymouth will meet in the second round of the OHL playoffs. The series will open tomorrow (Thursday) in Windsor. The Spitfires and Whalers will alternate home dates throughout the seven-game series.
To read more about the pending playoff matchup and get some notes on a former draft prospect emerging in L.A. just in time for the NHL playoffs, you must be an ESPN Insider.
