          The 2017 NHL draft has concluded, and now it's time to dissect how each team did.

          Each grade is based solely on the picks made, based on my evaluations of the players, and does not include any trades or other moves made during the weekend. Total value is the basis for the grade. We do not assess a team's alternative options at a slot, or their fit into an organization, in this grade.
