2015 NHL Draft Prospects On Social Media: European Skaters

The 2015 NHL Draft is now just a few days away!. This coming Friday, 30 players will be picked up by NHL teams in round one of the NHL Draft, with another 181 prospects being selected during Saturday’s day two.

Leading up to this weekend’s draft – or, if you’re reading this after the draft has culminated – here’s a guide to the NHL Draft prospects on Twitter. Go ahead and follow your favorite prospects (as if you weren’t already), or, if you’re reading this after the draft, check it out and follow the guys your NHL team has drafted.

Following yesterday’s list of North American skaters, here’s a list of European skaters heading into the 2015 NHL Draft, and their linked Twitter accounts. If anyone has any additional ones to add – or edits that should be made – please feel free to leave it in the comments! This list came from NHL Central Scouting; if you’re looking for a specific player, hit CTRL+F or ⌘-F (Mac) to search.

Click the player’s name to reach their Twitter account, if available. Note that there are far fewer players on this list that seem to have a visible social media (Twitter) presence than those listed on the North American skaters list; also note that of those who do have Twitter accounts linked here, many do not post regularly (if at all) in English.
