Early Draft Notebook: Matthews taken first; Habs, Blackhawks, Capitals trade with eachother

BUFFALO, NY -- As expected, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected Auston Matthews first overall in the 201 NHL Draft on Friday.

Patrick Laine was picked second overall by the Winnipeg Jets, and Pierre-Luc Dubois went third overall by the Blue Jackets, going against the possibility of Jesse Puljijarvi going third overall.

But after Matthews was picked, two traded occured.

The Montreal Canadiens traded Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals for two second-round picks in 2017 and 2018, and Andrew Shaw goes to the Canadiens from the Blackhawks.
