Los Angeles Kings| ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
|---|
| 1 | | - | Every team's top need is a left-winger if Lafreniere is on the board. | |
| 2 | | - | The Sens desperately need a true 1C, and while someone in the system could maybe fill that role, Byfield definitely projects as one, and more good centres are always a plus. | |
| 3 | | - | A possible challenger for that number two slot, Stutzle provides the rebuilding kings with a speedy forward who can shift wherever they need in the Top 6 | |
| 4 |  | - | The Devils have two great young centres and they need to get some young running mates to go with them, Raymond fits the bill | |
| 5 |  | - | The Ducks could use a great young defenceman to learn from Fowler and build for the future | |
| 6 | |  | Picking Rossi to either shift to the wing in the NHL, or perhaps to move Norris to the wing longer term | |
| 7 |  | - | Great triggerman to complement the existing young forward core | |
| 8 |  | - | I don't know how to fix Buffalo, but giving Eichel a great young winger should help? | |
| 9 |  | - | Minnesota is OLD, especially up front, so picking a solid young forward like Lundell will help transition them away from the Staals and Parises of the world. | |
| 10 |  | - | The Habs sprint to the podium and draft the heir apparent to Carey Price, who is coincidentally seen as the best goalie prospect since Carey Price | |
| 11 |  | - | Chicago might actually make the playoffs after all, and picking a good young winger to pair with Kirby Dach makes sense now and in the future | |
| 12 |  | - | The Jets have to pick a defenceman here, and I have them taking the top-ranked guy not named Drysdale. I could see them picking a lot of other D-men here, but I think if the draft is today, it's Sanderson | |
| 13 |  | - | The Preds are good on D and likely in net for the foreseeable future, so I have them taking the best forward available | |
| 14 |  | - | Vegas takes a pure goal scorer who they can groom behind Mark Stone and pair with Glass for the next 10+ years | |
| 15 | |  | Again the Devils look for running mates for Hughes and Hischier, and they pick a winger who looked great at the WJC and who I think would be rated higher if he was playing in a league other than DEL | |
| 16 |  | - | The Oilers need to find some wingers, and I think Holloway would look great beside McDavid or Draisatl | |
| 17 |  | - | After Monahan, the Flames are a little thin at the centre position (especially when Bennet is on the wing) so they pick the best centre out of the WHL here | |
| 18 |  | - | Philly has a pretty balanced prospect pool, and good youth at most positions, so they take the offensively gifted Amirov here | |
| 19 |  | - | Wallinder has size and skill and will make a great 1-2 punch on the left side in Dallas with Heiskanen | |
| 20 |  |  | Daws' performance this year in the OHL and at the WJC shows he has the tools to succeed if he can put it together at the next level. Carolina has loved reclaiming goalies who have not lived up to their potential elsewhere in recent years, but I think Daws would be a good pick and help them stabilize their goaltender position for years to come. | |
| 21 | | - | With their second pick, the Canes pick their future 2C and snag a player who would likely be going much higher if not for his concussion issues | |
| 22 |  | - | The Panthers have a lot of young forwards and Knight and Bobrovsky are their goalies for the next 10-15 years, so they take a talented defenceman with good size here who could maybe partner with Ekblad somewhere down the line. | |
| 23 |  |  | The Lightning have good depth in the organization, and getting a good young forward here only bolsters that depth. | |
| 24 |  | - | Poirier is a solid young defenceman that would likely go higher in a different year, but this is a draft with so many talented forwards that he falls into the Blue Jackets lap. | |
| 25 |  | - | The last time the Avs won the Stanley Cup there was a guy named Bourque playing for them. Now there is no relation, but Bourque could one day be the 2C in Colorado and help them back to the promised land. | |
| 26 |  | - | NYI picks a solid forward prospect who could play anywhere in the Top 6. | |
| 27 | | - | TBL are a deep organization, and Schneider makes them a bit deeper on the blueline | |
| 28 |  | - | The Pens need to start planning for the future at the centre position, and while Sourdif is not going to match the production of Crosby or Malkin, he could develop into a solid 2C. | |
| 29 |  | - | There's a really old guy playing on the blueline in Boston who could retire any day now. Barron is a modern defenceman with some size and he could ease the pain of the day when Big Z exits the league | |
| 30 |  | - | The Tarasenko injury this season has shown how important it is to have players who can slide up into the Top 6 when required. Mysak hasn't played much in the OHL this season, but he does have 4 goals in 5 games played. He'd be a good pickup to build depth in the organization and maybe take a Top 6 role one day | |
| 31 |  | - | Third German off the board, and this time it's the Caps picking one. Reichel provides some depth at forward and can be a big part of the core of the future Caps when players like Ovechkin hang them up |
