Maple Leafs meeting with draft prospects.
Hanifin among the last players invited back to visit Leafs in recent days. Strome says he did not meet Leafs since NHL combine.

Gabriel Carlsson met with Toronto and Anaheim today. Leafs have that second first-rounder, Ducks love Swede D (Lindholm, Pettersson)

Blue Jackets and Coyotes
Kekalainen said he’s contacted every team ahead of #CBJ on draft board, but would not specifically speak to talks w #Coyotes at No. 3.

#CBJ have expendable roster forwards if #Coyotes want immediate help. Anisimov makes sense, as does Atkinson.

#CBJ have plenty of forward prospects to dangle, too. Rychel’s name is out there, of course. But there are others.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) June 25, 2015
With No. 8 overall pick, #CBJ could keep #Coyotes in top 10, assure they get top prospect. CBJ have 34, 38, 58, 68, 69 picks as sweeteners.

In summary, hard to imagine a club better poised to jump to No. 3 than #CBJ. And the target is believed to be D Noah Hanifin.

@Aportzline Center is a bigger need for ARI than defence IMO..makes sense on several fronts. At least one of Zacha/Barzal will be there.

Jets could look to trade up.
Cheveldayoff: “If there’s an opportunity to trade up substantially to get a player that we would target, I would certainly look at that.”

Hurricanes could talk to Coyotes.
With talk Hurricanes are looking to move Jeff Sknner, wouldn’t be surprised if they’re talking to Coyotes about No. 3. Already have No. 5

Panthers haven’t talked to Coyotes.
#FlaPanthers Dale Tallon says he hasn’t spoken to #Coyotes about moving up to No.3 #nhlDraft
