ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | No explanation needed | ||
2 | - | They should trade down with this pick to go after Sanderson, but if there are no good offers, go get the Kopitar replacement | ||
3 | Ottawa needs defensive help NOW, and Drysdale is the only NHL ready D-man in the entire draft | |||
4 | - | Bit of a toss-up between Stutzle and Rossi, because they are both incredibly skilled. Difference is that Stutzle played against men last year and Rossi didn't | ||
5 | - | More of a traditional (bigger) center than a Rossi or Perfetti, who will probably end up on NHL wings, and a solid PK guy in only a year or two | ||
6 | - | Center or no center, the Ducks need some serious scoring punch. It is either Raymond or Rossi... could be either of them | ||
7 | - | Mack Blackwood is not the guy, and Cory Schneider is going to decline. New Jersey could try to buy a goaltender in FA, or they could go after a guy that *could* start for a while, and pretty soon too. Not in 2020-21, but maybe 2021-22, and likely 2022-23. Pick could also be traded down. | ||
8 | - | The roster doesn't really look like it has crazy holes needing to be immediately patched, so just go BPA. Here, it is either Rossi or Perfetti | ||
9 | - | Minnesota needs players with serious offensive skill, and the most offensively skilled player available is Holtz | ||
10 | - | The Jets have no need for more high-skill wingers (this includes the future winger Perfetti). They do however need defensemen to go with Morrissey, and the best defenseman left is Sanderson | ||
11 | - | Taking a gamble on a high-risk forward just like they did with Forsberg | ||
12 | - | No gaping holes in the roster, so you sprint to the podium to grab an elite scorer in Perfetti while ignoring the Owen Tippett visions in your head. | ||
13 | Carolina needs depth scoring, and not much else. I wouldn't be surprised to see this pick traded. If not, go best forward available | |||
14 | - | Throw more high draft picks at defense. See if it helps. | ||
15 | - | Same position as Edmonton. Throw all of your high draft picks at D..... whether that means drafting Schneider or it means trading this pick to throw Jack Johnson into the Sun... or Phoenix | ||
