1 | | - | | Celebrini goes 1, no matter what team |
2 | | - | | SJ would definitely need defense, so they take the best D available if they don't get Celebrini. With the fact that RDs are much rarer, Lev is obvious pick here |
3 | | - | | CHI has a couple of directions they could go for, but its probably will be a RD or a Winger, and I think CHI doesn't pass on Demidov |
4 | | - | | ANA has reported they are going to try very hard to get a RD and Right shot forward or natural RW this offseason, and I believe the draft will be in use to find one of these. Helenius is the best RS winger available, so they probably go the RD route here, unless Helenius can add a big international tourney to his name |
5 | | - | | CLB is likely chasing a high-ceiling forward since their Defense is pretty stacked. I think its going to be between Lindstrom and Eiserman, with Helenius and Catton being unlikely dark horse candidate |
6 | | - | | MTL would seemingly go the forward route, but Sam Dickinson is also a possibility. In terms of forwards, it could be any of Iginla, Catton, Eiserman, or possibly Helenius. If they are value ceiling the most here, it will likely be Eiserman or maybe Catton, but if they are looking for a good fit for the system, likely will be Tij. Helenius could come in if they draft for need (Right shot RW which they don't have much of) |
7 | | - | | Arizona would probably be looking to add a big defenseman, and I believe Yak is their main target, but with him gone, Silayev or Dickinson is likely the guy |
8 | | - | | They drafted so many forwards in the past, there is almost no way one of Silayev, Dickinson, or Buium isn't a Kraken |
9 | | - | | I think they are almost guaranteed to draft whoever is left of Iginla or Catton. If both were to be gone, I could see Eiserman or a Buium being the backup plan |
10 | | - | | NJ definitely wants a strong winger. The top candidates for this will be Eiserman, MBN, or Greentree. I think Eiserman makes sense, but MBN is very very slept on and can be a real possibility |
11 | | - | | BUF has an easy choice since Parekh is available |
12 | | - | | PHI needs to target a forward after loosing Gauthier, however, since a talent like Buium is on the boards, and they ended up drafting lower then likely expected, its very possible they take the best player left (I could see STL trading up here, noting its not quite a need for PHI, and could profit off the extra assets and still lock in a top 6 forward at 16) |
13 | | - | | I could see MIN making a sort of a reach here and taking Boisvert or Hage, but they probably will try to gamble on Helenius working out at center |
14 | | | | Greentree or MBN here, no doubt |
15 | | - | | The other of Greentree or MBN |
16 | | - | | Very difficult guess for STL. If they trade up that clears things a bit, but if they don’t, it complicates things. They could go for Elick or Jiricek, but they could be pretty big reaches. They could go for a LD as well. Leo SW seems like a shout if Elick or Jiricek isn’t the pick, if they stay put that is |
