TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Owen Power (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: I honestly think there are 10 players that can go 1st overall, but Power is probably the most likely given his size and some of the teams that could be selecting 1st overall.).
2. Matthew Beniers (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: Has had an amazing end to the NCAA season, so there is no doubt in my mind that Beniers will go top 3, with the NCAA season ending soon).
3. Luke Hughes (Seattle Kraken) (Details: Great stats both offensively and defensively in the USNTDP. And he's a Hughes, so let's be real he's gonna go high).
4. Kent Johnson (Boston Bruins) (Details: Johnson and Eklund are really close for me, but I think Johnson is the less risky pick).
5. William Eklund (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Has had an amazing season so far, but can he keep it up?).
6. Jesper Wallstedt (Calgary Flames) (Details: Best goalie prospect in a long time, and with a relatively weak draft class, there is a good chance Wallstedt can go top 5.).
7. Brandt Clarke (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: Has gotten off to a slow start in Slovakia, so I have him at 7 for now. He can easily be top 3 again if he can get going.).
8. Aatu Räty (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Has gotten better over the past few weeks, but not good enough to justify his awful start).
9. Carson Lambos (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: Could go higher, could go lower. I honestly don't have much to say about Lambos other than he's a good defensive prospect that can go a few spots higher or lower.).
10. Fabian Lysell (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: See Lambos's explanation just replace defender with forward).
11. Simon Edvinsson (Dallas Stars) (Details: Extremely risky pick. I think he will fall in the draft because of the risk).
12. Dylan Guenther (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Has barely played. If Guenther can get playing again I can see him in the top 5).
13. Chaz Lucius (Edmonton Oilers) (Details: Same situation as guenther, except Lucius in injured so he may drop because of that (similarly to Lapierre)).
14. Zachary L'Heureux (Florida Panthers) (Details: Could go higher than he should just because he has actually been playing hockey.).
15. Cole Sillinger (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: Has been great in the USHL, we'll see how he does in the WHL).
16. Corson Ceulemans (Minnesota Wild).
17. Mason McTavish (Montreal Canadiens).
18. Brennan Othmann (Nashville Predators).
19. Zachary Bolduc (New Jersey Devils).
20. Simon Robertsson (New York Islanders).
21. Xavier Bourgault (New York Rangers).
22. Nikita Chibrikov (Ottawa Senators).
23. Oskar Olausson (Philadelphia Flyers).
24. Francesco Pinelli (Minnesota Wild from Pittsburgh Penguins).
25. Daniil Chayka (San Jose Sharks).
