| 1 |  | - | | If this isn't a spicy out of left field take....idk what is.
The obvious choice. |
| 2 |  | - | | Very hard choice. I'm a big believer in the best player available, and so I'm taking Byfield if I'm Rob Blake. Stuzle might fit the mold and timeline better, but Byfield is too good. |
| 3 |  |  | | Obvious choice for the Sens here. |
| 4 |  | - | | The Wings need a centre badly. There is so many comparisons being drawn between Rossi and B.Point. I think Stevey Y takes this guy. Heck of a player. |
| 5 |  | - | | You got Stuzle, and I truly believe he's going to be a centre for the Senators. I think, while the incentive is to take Drysdale, you pick best player on the board and thats Raymond. Elite offensive talent |
| 6 |  | - | | Perfetti worries me if his skill will translate fully to the NHL game. Not a chance he falls past this spot though. |
| 7 |  | - | | I think New Jersey takes the best D in the class. He can skate circles around players, a guarantee to be a top 4 in their system. |
| 8 |  | - | | An elite sniper to play the right side with Eichel?? This pick, if its available, makes a ton of sense for Buffalo. Lets just hope he isn't A.Nylander |
| 9 |  | - | | No brainer. Minnesota is drafting Lundell as their future centre here, or they will trade down to get another centre later if he isn;t available. |
| 10 |  | - | | Winnipeg needs defence in its pipeline. This guy also appears to be the best available player, assuming Askarov isn't a choice for Winnipeg. |
| 11 |  | - | | Nashville could use a franchise goalie. Also, I just don't see Askarov falling any further. |
| 12 |  | - | | I think Florida needs skill above all else. I would say they could use a D-Man if there was one worth taking, but there isn't. I think Jarvis fits their bill really well. He's not got the same attention being from the WHL, I think he is a hell of a player. |
| 13 |  |  | | Quinn seems to be the most controversial player in the draft. What isn't controversial is his skill. Carolina is perfect to take a risk on this guy, he could flourish in their system. |
| 14 |  | - | | What don't the Oilers need. Plenty of exceptional centres and wingers available. I would hope Edmonton would take best player available, but you never know with them. I think Mercer is that guy. Could be a RW they need, or possibly a C. |
| 15 |  |  | | I think the Leafs go off the board a bit and take a skilled defender, something they really need in their pipeline for down the road. |
| 16 |  | - | | Wouldn't hurt for the Habs to take a centre here. Good thing the best available players happen to be C's also. Seem's to be a toss up between Zary, Holloway. Obviously the french connection is there for Lapierre. I think they take a risk however on Amirov. |
