Description

This is how I think this years draft will play out in the top 10 based on team needs after seeing Bob McKenzie's final rankings.

DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Jack Hughes (New Jersey Devils) (Details: NJ has been trying to get that top line centre for a few drafts now, and having the ability to put Hischer as the 2C would be enormous.
I cannot see them passing on Hughes.).
2. Kaapo Kakko (New York Rangers) (Details: Well duh.).
3. Alex Turcotte (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: After the Maata trade I can see them passing on a Dman in order to get their centre of the future. Having a possibility of Towes-Turcotte-Strome would be lethal down the middle.).
4. Trevor Zegras (Colorado Avalanche from Ottawa Senators) (Details: I think that Colorado will be looking to add to their forward depth as their back end has some high end prospects and depth all around. Taking a smart and talented Zegras who can play both the centre or the wing would give them a versatile multi-tool player to play behind their big line.).
5. Bowen Byram (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: This team needs everything, but Byram falling to this point is an opportunity that cannot be passed up. I think Byram could be Morgan Rielly (at the least) and having him paired with Doughty could be insane.).
6. Vasily Podkolzin (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Stevey Y has shown no fear with Russians and Podkolzin could be far better than his draft position would indicate.).
7. Kirby Dach (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Need a Centre).
8. Cole Caufield (Edmonton Oilers) (Details: Edmonton badly needs a winger to bolster their depth and help McDavid, having goal scorer as good as Caufield would be too good to pass up.).
9. Dylan Cozens (Anaheim Ducks).
10. Alex Newhook (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Could be Krebs too).
