| ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
|---|
| 1 | - | Easy pick. By far the most talented player in the draft | ||
| 2 | - | I think LA has so many centers that they want a guy who will also play wing. Not only that but I think LA wants a versatile and smooth skater who is a phenomal passer | ||
| 3 | Ottawa takes their future number 1 center. I think they will take their time with this youngster and will make sure he develops into a proper number 1 center. | |||
| 4 | - | I personally like Rossi more but there's so much surrounding Perfetti. He also plays for Saginaw which is quite close to Detroit so I think they've had a lot of time to see him. Very good hockey IQ and playmaking. Skating needs work but still a great player | ||
| 5 | - | Ottawa takes yet another forward because I think they can address defense late rin the draft and have a good pool on defense. Raymond is a very good playmaker who is more raw than the other prospects but with the right development he can be an elite winger at the NHL level | ||
| 6 | - | Anaheim takes their future PP QB. An elite puck-moving defenseman who is a very similar player to Cale Makar. | ||
| 7 | - | An elite goal scorer who will thrive with a playmaking center like Hughes or Hischier | ||
| 8 | - | Rossi is an unbeliveable passer and shows tenacious effort in the defensive end as well. Buffalo really needs a 2C behind Eichel and Cozens is more suited as a winger as we saw at the WJC | ||
| 9 | - | A nearly NHL ready centerman who plays an unbelievable 200 foot game. Minny needs top 2 centerman and Lundell would fit perfectly | ||
| 10 | - | I think they would have taken a centerman here thanks to the uncertainty of Bryan Little playing again. But since Minny I think also needs one and I can't see Winnipeg reaching for a centerman. So they go for a d man with tremendous shutdown ability | ||
| 11 | - | I think Nashville believes in Saros so I don't see them taking Askarov. Quinn is arguably the best goal scorer in the draft | ||
| 12 | - | I can see them trading down from here to take Guhle but he's a great fit for Florida. LHD who can provide defensive stability and good physicality | ||
| 13 | Carolina is thin in net and they get their number 1 for the future | |||
| 14 | - | Best player available and Edmonton I think needs a forward more than a dman | ||
| 15 | Toronto's pick. Best RHD available at this spot imo. Their biggest need for sure | |||
