NHL DRAFT MOVES ACCELERATE

Teams were active in the NHL draft's opening hours, with the Carolina Hurricanes bracing for a significant blow as top scorer Seth Jarvis likely faces 4-6 months out following shoulder surgery, potentially impacting their ability to defend their Stanley Cup title. In a move that signals a rebuild, the Detroit Red Wings traded goaltender Sebastian Cossa, a highly touted prospect, to the Utah Mammoth for the 23rd overall pick in this year's draft. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks continued their shake-up by dealing center Mason McTavish to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for the 15th and 29th selections in the draft.
