The 2015 Rookie Draft saw a defenseman go with the top pick for the first time since 2010. The Delta Sturgeon, recipients of some draft lottery fortune, picked Aaron Ekblad with their #1. Ekblad will be asked to lead the blueline on the rebuilding team.
South Carolina took winger David Pastrnak second, while defenseman John Klingberg went to the San Jose Hosers to round out the top 3.
