The Nashville Predators wrapped up a busy NHL Draft by selecting Canadian winger Wade Murphy and Finnish goaltender Janne Juvonen in the 7th round.
Murphy, who can be found on Twitter as @wmurphy93, is a high schooler out of Victoria, British Columbia where he led the Penticton Vees in scoring. He’s headed to play for the University of North Dakota.
