Disclaimer!! 1-7 are the exact same reasoning! They are not new, so you probably read it last time. I had to take those guys because the teams need them badly! And for Seattle, it would be awesome to start their franchise with a left handed defence man in Owen Power!
Buffalo picks Brandt Clarke because they already have Rasmus Dahlin on the left growing and he could be good, so a guy that could be ELITE in Brandt Clarke, and he could be a great 1OA pick! Ottawa picks Matthew Beniers, because they could use a 1c, and you can’t go wrong with one of Beniers or Johnson for the center position! Seattle picks Owen Power, because they are starting out their franchise and they should definitely start their franchise with a very good left handed defence man, and possibly the best one in the class. Detroit picks Kent Johnson, because he is a very good center and they could use one behind Dylan Larkin. Anaheim picks Dylan Guenther, because they really need a good grindy right handed shot sniper alongside Trevor Zegras in the future! Columbus picks Carson Lambos, because he is the second best left handed defence man in this draft class in my opinion, and he is a solid pick and they could have him behind Zach Wirenski in the future! New Jersey picks William Eklund, because he can play center and the left side plus there is no right handed defence men left in the top 10! Eklund is a very good choice, but to some people maybe a bit of a reach. Vancouver picks Simon Edvinsson, because he a left shot defence man, and is very good. Vancouver could use a left handed defence man behind Quinn Hughes as Nate Schmidt can play on the right side. Solidifying that defence should be their first priority! Calgary picks Luke Hughes, because he is a left shot defence man, and he could excel on that top pair in head of his teammate that is on the second one, Juuso Valimaki. Los Angeles picks Stanislav Svozil, because he is a good left shot defence man, and they could really use him on a left side with a guy named Tobias Bjornfot! It would make that defence way deeper as defence wins championships. Philadelphia picks Fabian Lysell, because they could use a right shot winger that can play on the right side so Joel Farabee can slot of the left side! It will make their offence better. Chicago picks Aatu Raty, because they could use a left shot 2-way winger on that offence, as I am not a fan of Alex Nylander, and I’m not sold on him. It’s also good to have many great prospects, and options for the NHL! Sam Jose picks Jesper Wallstedt, because they don’t have a goalie prospect that is good, and you need a good goalie to be a good team! New York Rangers pick Cole Sillinger, because you can never have enough options, and depth! Cole Sillinger brings that, and can play both the center position and on the wing! Arizona picks nobody... haha... they had to forfeit the pick, because of the illegal stuff they did in the NHL. Dallas picks Chaz Lucius, because he is a right shot center that can play on the right side for them, as they could use a young long term right winger in Chaz Lucius!
