After 224 picks and what felt like 224 hours later, the NHL draft has come to an end.

Picking winners from teams drafting mostly 17 and 18-year-olds is a fruitless endeavor, so it’s better to take a look at the weekend as a whole. While most of the focus is on the players getting drafted, and for good reason, the draft usually comes with trades and signings leading into the new league year on July 1. And with those, you get an idea of who is looking to take big steps next season and who isn’t.

Here are the winners and losers from draft weekend.

Winners

Montreal Canadiens

The draft is fun and all, but it’s a crapshoot, even when you pick in the middle of the first round. Turning the 16th and 17th picks from a below average draft into a 25-year-old defenseman who is one year removed from finishing eight in the Norris Trophy voting is an easy decision. Montreal snuck into the playoffs last year and Noah Dobson only makes them better.

Roger McQueen

Drafted 10th overall by the Anaheim Ducks, McQueen was spared by the Ducks from having to sit through the rest of the first round. Instead, they put him on a helicopter and flew him from Los Angeles down to Disneyland where he got to spend the rest of the night. For as many bad ideas as the NHL has, this one was actually pretty good.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Toronto took advantage of the fact John Tavares didn’t want to leave his hometown, signing him to a very reasonable four-year contract at less than $4.5 million per season. While it hasn’t officially happened, there are rumblings the Leafs will be moving Mitch Marner’s rights to Vegas and may be getting Nic Roy in return. That would be a huge win for them, turning a pending free agent whose rights they could have lost for nothing into a solid center.

Jack Drury

Things can change in the coming days, but with Charlie Coyle out the door, Jack Drury is in line to play a big role on the Avalanche this coming season. Good timing for Drury, who is entering the final year of his contract.

Boston Bruins

The Islanders wanted to move back into the top 10 to get hometown kid James Hagens. They were unable to, as the Bruins held strong at seven to take the Boston College forward, who was projected to go first overall a few months back. Boston is desperate for help down the middle, so to have Hagens drop to them is a massive win. He likely won’t be in the NHL next season, but Hagens is a nice get and won’t have to move far when he does make the jump.

Losers

Everyone who had to watch the draft

NHL front offices voted to decentralize the draft this year, allowing all the teams to stay at home to plan for the new league year. That meant the NHL had to change the format of the draft, with no teams on site to meet their new draft picks. The only word you could use to describe Friday’s first round is “cringeworthy.”

Awkward zoom interviews in front of hundreds of people, terrible jokes, and 4.5 hours to get through 32 picks. Teams might have enjoyed staying home, but the product suffered. Hopefully everything returns to the way it used to be next summer.

Patrick Roy

The GM who hired him isn’t there anymore and one of his best defensemen was traded away for draft picks. You know the new GM is going to want to pick “his guy” eventually, and it just feels like Roy won’t be behind that bench for much longer. The Islanders picked up some real talent over the weekend, but odds are most of them won’t play a game under Roy.

Rumor mongers

Everyone wants “Crosby to the Avalanche” to happen, but it’s not going to happen. That isn’t stopping people from continuing to speculate. ESPN’s Kevin Weekes speculated live on-air that the Avalanche and Penguins might be working on something big. Crosby’s agent immediately responded by calling them “baseless rumors.” A bad look for ESPN.
