1 | | - | | The obvious #1 Choice poised to be a franchise player and dominate the LW in the league. A Jonathan Huberdeau with the touch of Crosby poised to make an impact. |
2 | | - | | A big center reminds me of Eric Staal but better. Plays like a giant, skates like the wind and skill like butter, Kings can't pass this opportunity to raise him under Kopitar |
3 | | | | Stutzle, The German Dangler loaded with skill who can be the Draisaitl of the East, plays with men and can place the Senators over the top |
4 | | - | | With the opportunity to select the best defenceman in the draft, build Defence and Yzerman will go with it. Seider, Drysdale and Hronek is a spectacle for the Wings |
5 | | - | | Rossi is the local boy who can turn the Senators skill level over the top, with Norris poised to be a 2 way center, Batherson a scorer and Tkachuk the fiesty winger, skill is a place that needs to be filled |
6 | | - | | Perfetti the Einstein of the Draft, with Brains like Crosby he can turn into a Barzal like player and form a 1-2 punch with Zegras |
7 | | - | | Holtz, the Swedish sniper is something the Devils would love to place next to Hischier, reminds me a lot of Nylander and the shot. |
8 | | - | | Sabres need a Player that they can depend on and they lost that identity after trading O'Rielly. If Sabres can land a phenom in a trade they'll go after it, but Lucas Raymond, the Swedish Marner is BPA and can't be skipped on |
9 | | - | | With Crawford getting older, its apparent Blackhawks could use a star goalie who reminds me of Ilya Samsonov. He'll be getting 50 win seasons on the norm |
10 | | | | Star skating defenceman who can move the puck and make plays, a double copy of Noah Hanifin who will staple New Jerseys Left Defence with Ty Smith |
11 | | - | | Minnesota will jump on the sniper from 67s. He can score and turn into a DeBrincat like player. Looking forward to a Kaprisov-Eriksson Ek-Quinn line |
12 | | - | | WINNIPEG JETS: Reminds me alot of Mikael Granlund and will have instant impact as a mature Center, can work on skating and offence but playing on a line with fellow countryman Laine will flourish his offensive skill |
13 | | - | | CALGARY FLAMES: Here is where it gets very confusing, you have Mercer and LaPierre from the Q and an elite shooter Jarvis from the WHL, I'll go Portland and pick a right handed winger possible Center in Jarvis, he reminds me of Cody Glass and has a lot of impact on the ice |
14 | | - | | With a team looking to shed salary, the Panthers could part ways with a top 6 forward maybe Dadanov or Hoffman, so it makes sense to take the Russian Winger in Amirov and link him with fellow countrymen Denisenko and Brobovsky. He can be a Tarasenko like sniper if he wants but he has some development to go through |
15 | | - | | NEW YORK RANGERS: The Wisconsin Badgers young NCAA Center is a must pick for the Rangers who can mesh well with players like Kakko and Kreider |
16 | | - | | NASHVILLE PREDATORS: The defence on the Preds can use a facelift on their D corps as their D is getting older and costly. A skating defenceman like Guhle seems like a D men Preds will successfully develop and build Ryan Suter 2.0 |
17 | | - | | NEW JERSEY DEVILS (VANCOUVER CANUCKS): Dawson Mercer will be on the Devils mind as they look to build a winger for Hughes after picking up Holtz and Sanderson |
18 | | | | COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS: Zary from the WHL needs skating help but he is a top 15 player from this draft who can take over 2C for the Jackets |
19 | | - | | CAROLINA HURRICANES (TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS): Gunler has decent size and elite ceiling, he can mesh well with players like Svechnikov and turn into a Nylander like player who they were looking to trade for early on this season |
20 | | | | EDMONTON OILERS: With McDavid needing a winger and the Oilers being almost empty on Wing prospects they go with skating RW Perrault from the OHL. Oilers can have Perrault as their versatile forward and get him to make an impact soon |
21 | | | | OTTAWA SENATORS (NYI): Senators will look for a top 4 D prospect in this forward heavy draft and go with highly touted hitting Right handed defenceman Schneider with their 3rd 1st round pick. With Bernard-Docker coming up, the Sens are decked on Right D for their Top 4 |
22 | | - | | Pat Brisson's son Brendan is a phenomenal player and reminds me of the Brink pick last year, Dallas can use a player like him and develop a player through the highly respected US Program. |
23 | | - | | Carolina Hurricanes (NYR): Justin Barron from the Q fits the Rangers need for a Right D as they host Miller and Lundkqvist is their D prospects. To contend, Barron will put the Rangers prospect pool in the top conversation |
24 | | - | | Vegas have always had an eye for forwards in their drafts and Ryan O'Rouke has been flying under everyone's radar, so why not jump on the OHL Captain defenceman that reminds me Peterangelo's leadership |
25 | | | | Minnesota needs skill on their lineup and LaPierre falls into their laps, they go best Center available and get Lapierre off the board |
26 | | - | | Philadelphia needs a younger Defenceman for their right side and develop him under Niskanen's vision, Philly goes with elite ceiling and skilled D man in Grans from Sweden |
27 | | - | | Washington can use a center and get Borque from the Q into their lineup. |
28 | | | | Lukas Reichel, a phenomenal skilled winger makes sense for a team starving for skill on their elite team |
29 | | - | | Colorado can use a LW prospect and pick skilled Mysak to work him into the Top 6 |
30 | | - | | With Pietrangelo maybe making an exit and having an older Defence, Blues jump on the large and highly skilled Defenceman Wallinder and have him develop under the amazing prospect development program of the Blues |
31 | | | | Ducks will go for RD and select Finnish D man Niemela |
