TEXT-EMBED

Lottery winners
1. San Jose Sharks
2. Chicago Blackhawks
Round 1
1. Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks) (Details: San Jose

Self explanatory pick here. Celebrini is the most NHL ready prospect in the draft. Regardless of Will Smith’s status in the NCAA next season, Celebrini will be the #1 center.).
2. Ivan Demidov (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Chicago

Demidov should be the pick here. I can see Chicago potentially going for Levshunov or Lindstrom, but based on pure talent they get Demidov. I think they’d be able to convince Demidov to move to the NHL in 2025-26 with the opportunity to play with Bedard.).
3. Artyom Levshunov (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Anaheim

RD is a positional need for Anaheim after trading Drysdale. Anaheim drafts the top RD prospect. Levshunov is probably 1-2 years out from making this roster. I assume he stays at MSU next year.).
4. Cayden Lindstrom (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: Columbus

I think CBJ jumps on Lindstrom at 4. He’s a big body center that adds depth to the future forward core.).
5. Tij Iginla (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Montreal

Might be a little off the board here but I think Montreal takes Iginla. Iginla has shown he belongs in the Top 10 throughout the season. Montreal tends to like workhorse players and that’s what I see more in Iginla than the other forwards at this pick.).
6. Anton Silayev (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: Utah

Utah continues last draft’s trend and selects another big Russian player. Silayev should be a great future partner for Simashev.).
7. Zayne Parekh (Ottawa Senators) (Details: Ottawa

Ottawa drafts a positional need here and select Parekh. Parekh is a fantastic offensive defenseman and should fulfill a Top 4D role for the Senators.).
8. Zeev Buium (Seattle Kraken) (Details: Seattle

I think Seattle decides between Buium and Dickinson here and go for the more offensive-minded player. Buium will fit into the defensive core in a few years and will be close in proximity to Denver.).
9. Carter Yakemchuk (Calgary Flames) (Details: Calgary

Calgary takes the best available RD with this pick and draft a guy from the WHL. Yakemchuk needs to develop more but should be ready to go in 3-4 years.).
10. Berkly Catton (New Jersey Devils) (Details: Nashville - Trade #1 (see description)

Nashville takes the best forward available. Catton will be a top line forward for Nashville in the future.).
11. Cole Eiserman (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Buffalo

Buffalo takes a pure goal scorer. Eiserman needs time to develop which fits perfectly with Buffalo’s current roster as Jeff Skinner will be gone in 3 years.).
12. Sam Dickinson (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: St. Louis - Trade #2 (see description)

St. Louis takes a defenseman that has been consistently in the top 10 but has dropped down in the rankings at the end of the season. Dickinson should be a Top 4D joining Theo Lindstein.).
13. Konsta Helenius (Minnesota Wild) (Details: Minnesota

Minnesota grabs the best available player. Helenius started as the top international prospect, but fell down to #3 by season end. Minnesota gladly selects Helenius at 13th.).
14. Adam Jiricek (San Jose Sharks from Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: San Jose

San Jose snags a RD after drafting Celebrini with the #1. Jiricek is the best available defenseman at this point in the draft.).
15. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Detroit

Detroit takes a promising RW to join their offensive core. MBN will be a huge addition to the Wings’ prospect pool.).
16. Michael Hage (Washington Capitals) (Details: Philadelphia - Trade #2 (see description)

Flyers select a promising center who will be attending Michigan in the future. Hage is probably the best center available at this point, which is a positional need for the Flyers.).
17. Liam Greentree (St. Louis Blues) (Details: Washington

Washington takes Greentree here. Greentree is a solid RW prospect that fits into the middle 6 for Washington going forward.).
18. Cole Hutson (New York Islanders) (Details: New York (I)

If he is anything like his brother, Cole Hutson will be a steal at 18th overall. Islanders need a future defensive partner for Dobson and I think Hutson would be a great choice here.).
19. Sacha Boisvert (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: Toronto - Trade #3 (see description)

Toronto takes the best player available and I think that’s Boisvert. The North Dakota commit should add depth to the future Toronto forward group.).
20. Igor Chernyshov (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning) (Details: Los Angeles

Los Angeles takes a Russian forward with this pick. Igor should be able to make an impact on this team in 3-4 years.).
21. Trevor Connelly (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: New Jersey - Trade #1 (see description)

New Jersey takes a promising LW. I think Connelly has done a decent job of putting the off-ice antics behind him. Connelly should be a steal for New Jersey after trading the 10th and Holtz for Saros.).
22. Henry Mews (Nashville Predators) (Details: Toronto

Absolute positional need choice here for the Leafs. They need RD desperately and take an offensive gifted defenseman after drafting a center at 19th.).
23. Teddy Stiga (Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: Colorado

Absolute steal here for the Avs. Stiga is super underrated and will be a fantastic offensive weapon for the future forward core.).
24. Beckett Sennecke (Anaheim Ducks from Edmonton Oilers) (Details: Ottawa

Ottawa drafts a forward after taking Parekh in the early stages of the round. Sennecke will be a great forward on the 2nd or 3rd line for the Sens.).
25. Andrew Basha (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: Montreal

The Habs grabbed their center in the Top 5, now they go for a LW that tore up the WHL.).
26. Dean Letourneau (Ottawa Senators from Boston Bruins) (Details: Carolina

Carolina needs depth centers in the forward core. Adding Letourneau is a great addition for the Hurricanes.).
27. Ryder Ritchie (Calgary Flames from Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Calgary

Calgary takes another WHL player from their own backyard. Ritchie should be a great addition to the forward prospect pool after drafting Yakemchuk.).
28. Aron Kiviharju (Philadelphia Flyers from Florida Panthers) (Details: Dallas

Once touted as the best prospect in the draft, Dallas will be happy to select Kiviharju from Finland. He should be a future NHLer if everything pans out right.).
29. Terik Parascak (Montreal Canadiens from Winnipeg Jets) (Details: Anaheim

Ducks go for a forward after taking Levshunov 3rd overall. Ducks have a deep forward core in the future, but adding Parascak will help make it deeper.).
30. Charlie Elick (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: Philadelphia

After taking Hage at 16th overall, the Flyers take one of the best shutdown defenseman in the draft. Elick will fit in nicely on the right side behind Drysdale and Bonk.).
31. Brodie Ziemer (Dallas Stars) (Details: New York (R)

Rangers snag USA’s WJC-18 captain and Minnesota commit Ziemer, who will add depth to the center pool.).
32. EJ Emery (New York Rangers) (Details: Vegas

After going back-to-back, Vegas takes a RD in a deep defensive draft. The Knights need to build their prospect pool after trading most it away, but cannot complain about 2 potential cups.).

The Blues getting Dickinson outside the top 10 seems too good to be true. But I'll take it every time.

Wrong goalie for trading that top 10 pick. Saros had a down year and He needs a new deal worth 8m so im not overpaying for a goalie. Also explain why NSH will do this after making playoffs? you really think the rookie will make them in the Playoffs next year? do you not think? Why are the Devils giving up on holtz but not anyone else? The Gm and HC are both clowns. Lets see what Holtz does with someone who isnt a clueless idiot. PS NSH will have to pay more than that to move up, and COnnelly NO THANKS, yeh lets have the devils pay to move down but not have a team pay to move up makes sense YIKES.

I’d take the 10th for Binnington.
