1 | | - | | They will be pretty stacked with Fowards after this. with Musty, Smith and Eklund taken recently. Will look for defence at 14. |
2 | | - | | I think the Hawks go off the reservation here. Lindstrom is big, young and exciting. Kids will want his Jersey.bHawks will look for winger later. |
3 | | - | | They need to replace Drysdale. Set for forwards with Carlson, Mctavish and Cutter Gauthier, oh and Zegas. Levshunov is a RD to go with Mintyukovthe LD they took in'22 |
4 | | - | | These guys are tough to call. They have Brindley RW, and lots of C, Fantilli, Sillinger and Whitelaw. Johnson is a C but can play LW. They went with two Ds in '22/ So I think its another RW here and Ivan is the one. |
5 | | - | | Oh Montreal. Who can figure them. They have so much Defence, Is it time for another flashy undersized dynamo C. NO ... they take the 6'2 French Centre. Its a shocker. |
6 | | - | | UTAH in the hooooouse ! In '22 they/them? took Cs. last year they took Simashev, a LD So I think they take the Right shot D here. Its a 2fer. A right D who can join the rush and score. And a flashy player to make a splash it the kids in the new market. |
7 | | - | | Its a bit of a reach. But these guys havent had a decent 1st since '20. They were supposed to be done. So who knows what the plan is? This guy is RD but also BIG and can also score. |
8 | | - | | Finally someone takes the big monster. Its been all Forwards for Seattle so far. Here they will take their first D in the 1st round. Players always seem to fall to them. |
9 | | - | | Do they do it. Imagine playing in the shadow of your dad. Better to chart your own path. But the marketing dept must be screaming in the ear of Norman Edwards. They must be. Its a coin flip but Im going to say it happens. |
10 | | - | | They haven' had the chance to take a Forward in the first since '20. Lots of Centres and Rights. Time for a pure LW. Of course this could all change if they trade this pick to Nashville.;) |
11 | | - | | What is it going to take for this poor city. They pick and pick and pick. Its been 2 years since they took a first round Defence so Ill say Dicknson, but it could just as easily be Catton. |
12 | | - | | Foerster was a RW, so was Michkov, so they take the LW here. They will need a centre or two at some point to pull it all together. |
13 | | - | | A Steal! Wild havent taken a D in the first since'18. Its time. They have their Forwards and their Goalie. ITs time for defence. |
14 | | | | Best D on the board. And Right shot to boot. |
15 | | - | | They have a Goalie and have been taking Cs of late with Danielson and Kasper. They took a good D in Axel Sandin Pellikka. Time for a good Right winger. |
16 | | - | | Someone HAS TO TAKE Catton. But I just cant see it being the Caps. They have taken so many C. Ryan Leonard , Lapierre, McMichael. Im going to say they take a Right winger here. |
17 | | - | | They have been taking C and wingers and C who can play L and R. Its time for a first round D. |
18 | | - | | Finally . Steal of the Draft. NYI haven't drafted much in the first for the last few years. They will not pass on a dynamic centre. |
19 | | - | | What does it matter, They are just going to trade this player to some other team . |
20 | | | | A good goal scorer to play on the Left with Oliver Moore , LINDSTROM, or the other guy. They already have a right with Nazar |
21 | | - | | Im saying they take a R winger here. The have taken Cs, Jack Hughes, Francesco Pinelli, Quinton Byfield and Turcotte. And They have taken D like Brandt Clarke and Dvorak. Time for a wnger. |
22 | | - | | Im a Nashville fan, god help me, and have have seen many takes on what we should take that I just feel are wrong. this is want NSH needs. A centre, an elite R shot D, and maybe a left winger. I see allot of takes where NSH takes Adam Jiricek. I like that , but I worry about the knee injury . TEDDY STIGA on the LW is not bad. I like LUKE MISA at C. But i think they would take Helenius if he was still on the table. He can play Centre, with Kimmel on the wing, FIN-TASTIC! .He is defence minded, right up NSHs alley. If they are lucky, he could be the next Roope Hintz. |
23 | | - | | Who knows if they will even be a team by next week. But they havent take too many RW lately. So there it is. |
24 | | | | Good Winger, almost NHL ready. |
25 | | - | | They took a C with Ritchie, and a D with Gulyayev last year in the first. Basically no one in '22, before that Olausson who is a C/W? And before that lots of Defence. Im going to say they take a big righty here. |
26 | | | | Local boy C with some scoring chops. Will off set the D pick at 7. But they will need to draft more forwards in the future. |
27 | | | | Its defence time for the Flames. They gamble on the kid with the sore knee. Could be a steal. |
28 | | | | Big R shot D here. They are going to wait and take their first round centres next year. |
29 | | | | Yes, another short scoring winger. He's going to play with Boisvert on the 2nd line and they are going to score at will. |
30 | | - | | Its been a few years since they took a D in the first, and that one was a R. They go with the Finish LD here. |
31 | | - | | Stars know how to pic them. Its been a few years since their forward 1 - 2 draft punch of Johnston and Stankoven , I think they go back to the well again here with JETT! |
32 | | - | | They could win it all this year and they still havent cracked the seal on Othmann , Sýkora and Perreault . Christ Lafrenière was only '20 and fans were already calling him a bust. Good lord. They have gone R, L, and C lately , time for Defence. |
