Description
This is my best guess at the Canadiens draft list this year. I only went top 10 because the draft varies quite a lot after top 10.
ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Best player available, fits positional needs, bona-fide center.
2Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Best player available, doesn't fit needs but can't be passed on.
3Logo of the Seattle Kraken-Fills need of elite RHD prospect.
4Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-Scoring winger, one of the best player available.
5Logo of the New Jersey Devils-Small scoring center, solid prospect down the middle.
6Logo of the Calgary Flames-Elite scorer, can play center at a high level.
7Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-BPA.
8Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-BPA.

I would say our biggest need is Right D and Scoring wingers/LW. Getting another goalie could be useful too. we really don't need LD, RW or Centers too much

As much as I see RHDs and LWs our main priority, I don't think the Canadiens would hesitate to draft Beniers given the chance. Suzuki and KK are excellent centers and are a great 1-2 punch but having a true superstar center would help the team a ton. I put Eklund and Johnson there because they could both be converted to wing if needed.

Dépendamment du rang où on sélectionne, les Canadiens devraient repêcher soit Ceulemans (RD), Pastujov (LW), Pinelli (C), Bourgault (C, LW), L'Heureux (C, LW) ou Olausson (LW) je pense. J'aimerais bien Cossa (G) aussi pour pouvoir faire un bon duo de gardiens avec Primeau.

I feel like the Canadiens would be better off sticking to Primeau for their future and using their first on someone like Ceulemans, depending on their draft position. Future starters can be found throughout the draft (like Primeau in the 7th round) but high-end defensemen and forwards are much harder to get later in the draft.

You're right. I think we will draft a forward in the first round.

So how does Calgary pick #6? They can only pick 1,2 or 11,12,13 that's it.

I'm not sure how updated CapFriendly's system is, I think the standings and draft order were last updated in April but I could be wrong.
