Analysis of every leak so far:
Anaheim Ducks-Haydn Fleury (D) Good pick
Arizona Coyotes-Tyler Pitlick (F) Not a whole lot of option in the desert, so fine
Boston Burins-Jeremy Lauzon (D) Good pick
Buffalo Sabres-Unknown
Calgary Flames-Mark Giordano (D) Good pick, but he's only got one year left at a pretty expensive 6.5 mil
Carolina Hurricanes-Morgan Geekie (F) No Jake Bean?! Very surprising.
Chicago Blackhawks-Nikita Zaodrov (D) Fine, less expensive than Calvin De Haan. UPDATE: New rumor is that it's John Quenneville. Baffling. Was there a side deal?
Colorado Avalance-Joonas Donskoi (F) Perfect.
Columbus Blue Jackets-Gavin Bayruether (D) I get why not Domi (he's only got 1 year left and he's out for half the year due to shoulder surgery), but not Kevin Stenlund then?
Dallas Stars-Jamie Oleksiak (D, UFA) Fine, but might be overpaid
Detroit Red Wings-Unknown
Edmonton Oilers-Adam Larsson (D, UFA) Good. Solid #1 pairing with him and Giordano.
Florida Panthers-Chris Driedger (G, UFA) (Also side deal made for Frank Vatrano, F) I don't think Driedger is a true #1 G, so we'll see if they get somebody else. The Vatrano deal could be good depending on the terms.
LA Kings-Kurtis MacDermid (D) Fine, not a whole lot of options
Minnesota Wild-Carson Soucy (D) No Kappo Kahkonen, which means they took Vanecek instead, passing on Brendan Dillon/Justin Schultz to do so, and both are better than Soucy. Bad.
Montreal Canadiens-Cale Fleury (D) Absolutely ridiculous. Passing on Price is abysmal, passing on Price and Drouin is even worse, passing on Price Drouin and Kulak is outrageous. Horrible.
Nashville Predators-Calle Jarnkrok (F) No Ryan Johansen? No Matt Duchene? Not even Colton Sissons? Jarnkrok's not bad, but this is eyebrow-raising.
NJ Devils-Nathan Bastian (F) Fine, risky move, but not a whole lot of options.
NY Islanders-Jordan Eberle (F) Good. As long as they took him or Bailey.
NY Rangers-Colin Blackwell (F) Fine, solid 4th line center.
Ottawa Senators-Joey D'accord (G) OK, but there were better options (Dadonov, Tierney, Josh Brown)
Philadelphia Flyers-Carsen Twarynski (F) This is horrendous. You passed on JVR and Voracek for this?! Ridiculous.
Pittsburgh Penguins-Brandon Tanev (F) Good pick. Better than ZAR, and they stocked up on D enough that they didn't need Marcus Pettersson.
San Jose Sharks-Alex True (F) Over Dylan Gambrell? What on earth?
St. Louis Blues-Vince Dunn (D, UFA) Good signing. Solid up-and-coming D-man. This could be a Shea Theodore-like pick. Guess they couldn't find a trade for Tarasenko.
Tampa Bay Lightning-Yanni Gourde (F) Hmph. Good pick. So long, Energizer Bunny, if this is true.
Toronto Maple Leafs-Jared McCann (F) Good pick, and nice job by Toronto to basically give up Filip Hollander and a 7th rounder to protect their roster.
Vancouver Canucks-Kole Lind (F) Fine, reasonable pick, though it would've been nice to see them strike a deal with Alex Edler.
Washington Capitals-Vitek Vanecek (G) Good backup goalie, but not worth passing on Brendan Dillon/Justin Schultz/Nick Jensen (see Minnesota Wild).
Winnipeg Jets-Mason Appleon (F) Nailed it. Good pick.
Overall, not great. Could've done a lot better. The Montreal and Philly picks are abysmal moves.
