ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | (108.5 PS) (0.14 PS/G) Yeah, he's number one. It's hard to argue against him being a Hall of Famer, despite his lack of major hardware. He recently got the most important one though - the Stanley Cup. While his career has seen some setbacks, his goal is now to win another one on the ice. | ||
2 | - | (102.8) (0.11) He's actually good again this season. The Norris winner and two-time cup champion had a rough couple of years, but it hasn't caused anyone else to overtake his stay at number two on the list. | ||
3 | - | Erik Karlsson (+12 ) | (93.2) (0.13) Central Scouting put him fourth in European Skaters behind three guys not in the NHL. He was phenomenal in Ottawa, winning two Norris trophies and being voted on the First All-Star NHL Team four times (that's the end of season one, not the middle-of-the-season game one). He's not looking great in San Jose, but he's still got time to bring back some form of his offensive magic. | |
4 | - | (86.3) (0.11) Blues don't budge on their former captain. The man had a great run in St Louis, topping it off with a cup win in 2019. He's moved onto Vegas and still got a good number of years left. | ||
5 | Braden Holtby (+88 ) | (84.4) (0.18) Carlson will probably overtake his former teammate by the end of the season, but Holtby would've helped Toronto's goaltending woes which plagued them between Belfour and Reimer. The former Captial and current Canuck has dropped off a bit from his mid-10s form, though. | ||
6 | - | John Carlson (+21 ) | (81.7) (0.11) He picked the best time to become elite, right around the time that the Capitals needed him for their cup run. A powerhouse offensive defenseman who looks like he's not slowing down would've been a much better option than whatever the Blue Jackets did for this pick. | |
7 | Roman Josi (+31 ) | (75.0) (0.12) The Predators actually traded up to get Josi in this draft. It's funny, because they're not only doing it again with this pick, they also do it with a pick originally belonging to the Maple Leafs again. Anyways, fantastic player. Stole the Norris from the guy above him. | ||
8 | - | Jared Spurgeon (+148 ) | (58.9) (0.09) There's a big gap between him and Josi, but Spurgeon is hoping to close the distance. He was quite the steal in this draft, being pretty small for a blueliner, was able to develop into a formidable two-way blueliner. | |
9 | Jordan Eberle (+13 ) | (58.0) (0.08) So Eberle ends up on Long Island earlier. While it's been a while since he's pushed 60 points in a season, he's still good for middle six production. | ||
10 | - | Tyler Myers (+2 ) | (53.8) (0.08) Another player who ends up on his current team earlier than in actuality. Myers had a fantastic rookie season with winning the Calder, but he really hasn't lived up to those lofty expectations since. He remains an adequate NHLer. | |
11 | - | Derek Stepan (+40 ) | (53.5) (0.07) He was quite a solid guy in New York, good for at least 50 points each season. He dropped off after his trade to Arizona, and is currently done for the season after a move to Ottawa. It's likely he'll be around as a bottom six journeyman for a couple of years. | |
12 | TJ Brodie (+102 ) | (48.2) (0.08) The Flames actually took a risk on him, he was ranked 164th in NA Skaters. A solid two-way defenseman who had some great years with Gio, he's currently on the Maple Leafs hoping to lock down their notoriously shakey blueline. | ||
13 | Cam Atkinson (+144 ) | (46.0) (0.08) Wasn't even ranked in NA Skaters. The Jackets have gotten great value out the fast winger, coming in over 60 points in handful of them. | ||
14 | - | Jacob Markström (+17 ) | (45.0) (0.17) The Swedish goaltender worked his way up from backup to bonified starter in the shadow of the second Luongo trade. His play was recently rewarded with a major payday seeing him through his 30s. | |
15 | Jake Allen (+19 ) | (44.4) (0.15) Allen was great on the Blues for several years, until his statline started to go down and they found someone else. They sent him to the Canadiens and he's looking like he could regain a starting job - with Seattle. | ||
16 | - | Adam Henrique (+66 ) | (44.4) (0.07) Known mostly for scoring the goal that sent the Devils to the SCF, he's had a tidy career with them and the Ducks putting up at least 40 points a season. | |
17 | Michael Del Zotto (+3 ) | (43.7) (0.07) He peaked in his third year on the Rangers, but has managed to find himself on a lineup somewhere over the past decade. Think he has a cup ring, too? | ||
18 | Jason Demers (+168 ) | (43.0) (0.07) A late pick who found himself as an NHL regular not even two seasons after this draft, he's had a pretty quiet career compared to many around him. But such is the life for a defensive defenseman. | ||
19 | Jake Gardiner (-2 ) | (42.5) (0.07) A number of defenseman in this draft have a "what if" attached to them, with Gardiner being the most notable due to his long tenure with the Maple Leafs. A decent offensive minded blueliner who manages to make mistakes at the worst possible times. | ||
20 | - | Josh Bailey (-11 ) | (40.9) (0.05) In this hypothetical redraft, the longtime Islanders winger is picked up by their crosstown rivals. Has had many fine seasons with one amazing one. | |
21 | Gustav Nyquist (+100 ) | (38.5) (0.07) Serviceable middle-six forward who started in Detroit and is currently in Columbus. | ||
22 | Travis Hamonic (+31 ) | (36.7) (0.06) Hamonic was originally picked with the second Edmonton got in the Pronger trade, and has ironically ended up picked by them here with one of the firsts they got in the same deal. Decent defenseman who played for the Islanders and the Flames. | ||
23 | Justin Schultz (+20 ) | (33.9) (0.07) His NCAA numbers made him a prized target when he decided he didn't want to play with the Ducks. Maybe he would've stuck with Minnesota if they drafted him? | ||
24 | Zach Bogosian (-21 ) | (32.8) (0.05) His career has quite a few what-ifs, especially considering he was picked third overall and many in his class have passed him. Started well in Atlanta/Winnipeg, injuries and declining play saw him terminated from Buffalo. He's had a bit of a revival though with Tampa and Toronto. | ||
25 | Marco Scandella (+30 ) | (30.6) (0.05) Started out well for the Wild, fell off a bit and was traded to Buffalo, Montreal and finally St Louis. He's played well enough with the Blues to earn another multi-year contract. | ||
26 | (30.1) (0.05) Just like Scandella, Ennis started out great in Buffalo, but dropped off and was apart of the package that the Sabres used to acquire the defenseman above him. Ennis is still looking for a long term home, however. At least he ends up right where he was drafted. | |||
27 | Colin Wilson (-20 ) | (29.5) (0.05) He decided to hang up his skates this past offseason. While he does drop in this draft, his career with the Predators and Avalanche is respectable, putting up around the 30-40 mark most seasons. | ||
28 | Mikkel Boedker (-20 ) | (27.4) (0.04) He played his best years with the Coyotes, but was dealt elsewhere before he could cash in. Got 4 million a year from the Sharks but never put up impressive numbers and was eventually dealt to the Senators. Currently out of the NHL. | ||
29 | Luke Schenn (-24 ) | (26.6) (0.04) The defensive-defenseman wasn't atrocious for Toronto but wasn't turning heads. They sent him to the Flyers but he never managed to improve. Currently as a low end depth option for Tampa after journeying around the league. | ||
30 | - | Luca Sbisa (-11 ) | (22.2) (0.04) This first round caps off with someone who many people are surprised he still gets NHL contracts. |
