NHL Draft 2014: A look at all 30 picks from Round 1

From Aaron Ekblad to John Quenneville, here are all 30 selections made in the opening round of the 2014 NHL draft.

All things considered, Friday night's Round 1 of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft was rather uneventful. There were a handful of small trades, but for the most part things went as expected, with Aaron Ekblad going first overall to the Florida Panthers, and a majority of the players selected ranked around where they were taken. There were a few items of note, like the Edmonton Oilers making Leon Draisaitl the highest-ever selected German-born player at No. 3, and only five defensemen coming off the board.
