Sea Dogs could be drafted today

Today should be a better day for the QMJHL.

Just two players from the Q were selected in the first round of the 2017 NHL Draft, which was held last night in Chicago. There should be a lot more selected today when rounds two through seven take place. The show begins at 11 a.m. on Sportsnet.

Two Saint John Sea Dogs players could be selected today: forward Cedric Pare and goaltender Alex D'Orio.

Pare was ranked 146th amongst North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, 176th by ISS Hockey and 202nd by HockeyProspect.com.

D'Orio, meanwhile, has been ranked all over the map.
