COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins didn’t have to wait this long the last time he was drafted. Nashville Predators rookie forward Filip Forsberg suddenly has another new car to go with the Jaguar he just bought two weeks ago.
The players had the distinction of being the last two selected in the NHL All-Star Game Draft on Friday night and both were awarded a new car.
Nugent-Hopkins, the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NHL amateur draft, was the second-to-last player selected in an online fan poll taken during the draft. He will play for Team Foligno, named after Columbus Blue Jackets star Nick Foligno.
Forsberg was the last of the 45 players selected, and joins the team led by Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews.
The teams will compete in the skills competition on Saturday and the All-Star Game on Sunday.
