1 | | - | | The Red Wings immediately get their future No. 1 defenseman |

4 | | - | | The Sabres need everything, here they get their top defenseman behind Dahlin |

16 | | - | | I don't see Lysell falling any further than this |

18 | | - | | Coronato will fix both Nashville's scoring issues and their special teams, he excels in both these categories |
