With the NHL entry draft behind us, we caught up with North American Central Scouting’s Mark Seidel on how the Canadian teams fared.Rookie GM Kent Hughes showed he wasn’t willing to play it safe by passing on projected top pick Shane Wright and swinging for the fences on Slovakian winger Juraj Slafkovsky.
