BUFFALO -- Sarnia defenseman Jakob Chychrun and Windsor center Logan Brown have been best friends for many years, and have traveled similar paths to becoming top prospects for the 2016 NHL Draft.
Each has joint citizenship in the United States and Canada, is the son of a former NHL player (Jeff Chychrun, Jeff Brown) and is in the top 10 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters (Chychrun is No. 4; Brown is No. 7) for 2016. And they're roommates in Buffalo as they await the first round of the draft Friday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, SN, TVA Sports). Rounds 2-7 will be Saturday (10 a.m. ET; NHLN, SN, TVA Sports 2).
