Ducks are done drafting for the day.
The Ducks selected Peter Holland, an 18-year-old forward out of Guelph of the Ontario Hockey League, with the 15th overall selection. Holland is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound center coming off a 28-goal 67-point season in 68 games for Guelph.
Anaheim traded the 21st pick they acquired from Philadelphia in the Chris Pronger deal to Columbus for the 26th overall pick and the 37th overall pick. There, the Ducks took Kyle Palmieri off the U.S. Under-18 national team, a 5-10, 190-pound forward. The Montvale, N.J. native will attend Notre Dame next year.
