1 | | - | | Franchise player.NO brainer + NHL loves to rig the draft. New team Gets the big fish |
2 | | - | | NHL screwed the new ownership over with the Pinto incident. NHL makes things right by giving them this pick |
3 | | - | | Sharks select the most talented Dman available filling needs in the farm system |
4 | | - | | Arguably the most talented player in this draft. imo hes a better all around version of Michkov and everyone is going nuts for that guy. 1-2 punch could be the next Ovi Backstrom... or for the less cool crowd Leon & Mcdavid |
5 | | - | | Ducks are deep down the middle w Carlsson,Mctavis, Zegras and Quitter Gauthier. They look to replace Drysdale. |
6 | | - | | CBJ needs centers and he is exactly that. I would take Catton who is a better player but his potential is too good to pass up at 6oa |
7 | | - | | Catton is the BPA and imo a better player than Lindstrom. Some rumors have Iginla being drafted over him but Catton is a much better player. Habs luck out and get a fantastic player at 7oa |
8 | | - | | High end defenseman... maybe the most complete defender in the draft depending on the expert you choose to believe |
9 | | - | | Fits like a glove and this team will be extremely happy to draft him. Hopefully a father like son type situation. |
10 | | - | | High low and HIGH again. dude and score and that matters. Devils get a possible generational scorer / Caufield comparable lol |
11 | | - | | Who needs RSD? Buffalo gets a fantastic offensive upside Dman. Cant see them passing up on him |
12 | | - | | Flyers need centers. It would be really hard to pass up on Silayev but Helenius just fills the teams needs atm. Hes going to be NHL and fits the same time line as Michkov. |
13 | | - | | Fantastic unicorn players falls to the Wild at 13th overall. Him and Faber will be a top 5 pairing in the league in no time. |
14 | | | | Sharks get 2 RSD in the same draft. i think he's the BPA that fits their exact needs |
15 | | - | | EXTREMELY talented player. Off ice issues but nothing Yzerman cant iron out. normally i think Yzerman would avoid this type of situation but this kid has seemed to own his mistakes and has handled everything as professional as possible. |
16 | | - | | BLUES PICK... Promising RW. i could also see them going for Hutson if they need a defender. i just went BPA |
17 | | - | | CAPITALS PICK.... Some people would lean towards drafting Chernyshov but im so tired of drafting Russians. Nothing against Russians I love Miro as a recent draft pick. Parascak reminds me a lot of Nick Suzuki.. will he turn into him? hopefully that would be pretty cool |
18 | | - | | If he can become something like his brother this will be a great pickup. If he is the Griffin Reinhart to Sam they wont be so happy. Either way fills a need the islanders have. |
19 | | - | | Good RW middle 6 player that they can put on LTIR and reactivate during playoffs. All kidding aside big player that has good offensive upside. |
20 | | | | Adding another Russian with Demidov draft pick. Put up some solid numbers in the KHL |
21 | | - | | One of the better center available. good depth player to look forward to when Kopitar and Danault retire |
22 | | - | | BPA. Solid year in the MHL. Decent size |
23 | | - | | Leafs are thin at center and he's looking to be a good 2-3c at the NHL level. |
24 | | | | a little small but had a good year in the WHL. should be a good addition to the Ducks already deep forward group. |
25 | | - | | Underrated player. Solid numbers in the NTD. Will be a responsible 200 foot middle 6 player |
26 | | | | Great shutdown Dman. weird flex but has great angles in shutting down oppertunities |
27 | | | | should be a great addition to Iginla. |
28 | | | | Great offensive upside. BPA |
29 | | | | Another great shutdown D. TBH not entirely sure who picks here so im just going with what players i like best |
30 | | - | | Small but still a very very skill player |
31 | | - | | Ran out of steam |
32 | | - | | GO CAPS. we are going to lose but Rangers suck |
