There could be a few local names called at the NHL Draft in Buffalo.

The NHL Central Scouting final rankings had Battalion defenceman Cam Dineen 39th while Troops forward Justin Brazeau is ranked 179th.

Meantime, North Bay’s Colton Point, who played with the CJHL’s Carleton Place Canadians last season is ranked fourth among North American goalies.

The first round of the draft goes tonight, with the Toronto Maple Leafs holding the number-one pick.

They’re expected to take American Auston Matthews.
