1) Habs don’t take Zadina
2) Wahlstrom goes ahead of Tkachuk
3) islanders trade one of their picks
4) Kotaniemi breaks into the top 8
5) leafs take one of Sandin, Samuelson or McIsaac

You said bold so...

1. Rasmus Dahlin does not go first overall.
2. One of Svechnikov and Zadina drop out of the top 5.
3. Kotkaniemi breaks into the top 3.
4. Evan Bouchard drops outside the top 20.
5. Brady Tkachuk is picked after Joe Veleno.

You said bold so...

1. Buffalo trades their 1st Overall Pick
2. Carolina trades their 2nd Overall Pick
3. Montreal trades their 3rd Overall Pick
4. Ottawa trades their 4th Overall Pick
5. Arizona trades their 5th Overall Pick

Regardless of who is selected and by whatever team, 24 fan bases will say their guy picked was " a steal".

How is that funny? Ryan Merkley goes 1st overall...

1. Tkachuk drops out of the top 5
2. Kotkaniemi goes in the top 6
3. Skarek is the first goalie taken
4. Zadina goes to Arizona at 5
5. Montreal takes either Boqvist, Dobson or Kotkaniemi at 3

1. Both picks 2 and 3 are traded in totally different deals.
2. Subban is not traded but Josi is.
3. Gary Bettman forgets to show up at the draft.
4. Girardi is traded for McDavid.
5. I get all of these predictions wrong.

You said bold, but I’m going to be realistic

1. Jim Benning will have Quinn Hughes, Oliver Wahlstrom and Adam Boqvist available at his pick

2. Jim Benning passes on Hughes

3. Jim Benning passes on Wahlstrom

4. Jim Benning passes on Boqvist

5. Jim Benning selects the man sitting in the ninth row of the audience as the Canucks 7th overall pick

Have to disagree Booth. Benning isn't bad at drafting, so here is what he'll do:

1. Have Boqvist, Wahlstrom, Hughes available.

2. Draft Boqvist/Wahlstrom/Hughes.

3. Trade Boqvist/Wahlstrom/Hughes to Toronto for Polak and Komarov.

4. Sign Komarov to 4 years at 4 million

5. Sign Polak 4 years at 4 million.

#JimboThings

I’m excited for a starting lineup of Eriksson - Sutter - Komarov; Gudbranson - Polak; Nilsson

You're getting him mixed up with Marc Bergevin.

1. Tkachuk slips out of the top 5.
2. Veleno slips past 23.
3. Boqvist slips outside of the top 10.
4. Karlsson is traded despite Melnyk's promises.
5. Tavares' negotiating rights are traded.

I really do believe that Veleno is going to slip in this draft.... Every draft has a guy that really slips for one reason or another and I think Veleno will be that guy in 2018.... How far? who knows but I wouldn't be totally shocked if he slips to the 2nd round..
