1 | | - | | Seems like an obvious pick at this point, even if he goes back to UMich |
2 | | - | | A good building block, I really liked him at the u18s and he has a unique combo of size and skating |
3 | | - | | The Ducks like their Swedes, and I like the idea of Eklund with Zegras |
4 | | - | | It's either Clarke or Hughes here, and the brotherly love tilts them to Hughes. Fills a need on D |
5 | | - | | Scrappy, skilled, and an all around great player. Excellent piece for a team that needs anything up front |
6 | | - | | Ultra skilled but needs time. Perfect for Detroit |
7 | | - | | To quote someone: 'sharks need everything, so why not start with a backbone' |
8 | | - | | Kings lack a pure sniper, and Guenther is a tier above Lucius IMO. |
9 | | - | | Lucius's scoring ability is too hard to pass up with Boeser being injury prone. |
10 | | - | | Sens can afford to take a chance on Raty, who was projected 1st overall this time last year. |
11 | | - | | Draft Pick Forfeited |
12 | | - | | Towering netminder will assume the Blackhawk' crease long term |
13 | | - | | The Flames have holes on D, and Clarke is a whiz in the offensive zone. IMO he's not top ten material |
14 | | - | | Philly goes BPA and nets a truly complete player. Loved him with Canada at the u18s |
15 | | - | | Fell a bit due to surgery, but the tools are there. |
16 | | - | | A coveted center to make New York's rebuild complete. Time for the playoffs now |
17 | | - | | A decent all round defender, St Louis goes BPA |
18 | | - | | Again, really liked him at the u18s, and the Jets could use a little help on the back end |
19 | | - | | Small but skilled is becoming normal in the NHL.He'll have every opportunity with Nashville's offense |
20 | | - | | With Beniers unavailable, Pastujov was the driving force behind Team usa's offense. He;'ll make magic with McDavid and Drai |
21 | | - | | Fits into Boston's system of crash and bang with a scoring touch |
22 | | - | | Incredible poise and control with slick mitts. Got SHL time. |
23 | | | | Another raw skill player for Stevie Y to develop. He can really score. |
24 | | - | | The Hockey News is high on him. He's a force in all three zones and will be lethal with Barkov |
25 | | | | Kekalainen likes dark horse Russians, and Kisakov has oodles of talent |
26 | | | | The big defender has experience at lots of different levels, and has already played at the WJC. minnsota cleans up a banger of a first round |
27 | | - | | Carolina picks up a skilled winger in a similar situation to Noel Gunler before him |
28 | | - | | Physical forward will be a good complementary piece for the first line |
29 | | | | Another good complementary player, he'll fit well with the Devil's young talent |
30 | | - | | Brisson worked out well for the Knights so far, so they go back to the USHL for Samoskevich, another skilled forward |
31 | | - | | My favourite player of the draft, reminds me of Gallagher. Skilled but not afraid to go to the dirty areas |
32 | | | | Not as high a ceiling but a solid performer, will fit into Columbus' middle six |
