With the first pick in the history, the Seattle Kraken have selected Matty Beniers out of the University of Michigan.
With Wolverines D Owen Power going No. 1 overall to the Sabres, this is the first time in NHL history that college teammates have been selected with the top two picks in the draft.
Congrats, boys!
