Pre-Expansion some trades

ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Consensus pick
2Logo of the Seattle Kraken-Centres are going to be the hardest thing for SEA to come by, they grab the best available centre here.
3Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Ducks can realistically go so many different directions here. Any of the LHDs, Guenther, Eklund, McTavish, Clarke. Pretty much the rest of the top 10 prospects not named Wallstedt are in play to me. I think Bob Murray goes BPA here and to me that comes down to Eklund and Edvinsson, I think the potential of a Edvinsson-Drysdale pairing is too good to pass up here
4Logo of the New Jersey Devils-I dont think they take Hughes, Between the Injury and the strength of the left side, I think they opt to shore up the right side of the blueline and take Clarke here
5Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Blue Jackets continue to add to their forward group with one of my favourite prospects in the class
6Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-I think this comes down to McTavish and Wallstedt. Stevie Y knows how important an elite goalie is to winning a cup, and he has also shown he is willing to take a goalie in the first round with Vasy in Tampa, Hopefully he strikes gold twice
7Logo of the San Jose Sharks-Sharks go BPA here
8Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-Kings take best defender available after going forwards in the first round every year since 2017
9Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-Canucks add one of the fastest risers in the draft and add a potential future 2C
10Logo of the Ottawa Senators-With Wallstedt off the board I could see a trade down here as I dont see Cossa as worthy of a top 10 pick, for this mock I'll just go BPA
11Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-
Draft Pick Forfeited

Also, Hughes plays RD...so R/L really should not be part of the decision making between Clarke and Hughes.

Oh he does? I was not aware of that, thanks for pointing that out. I still like Clarke more than Hughes personally though.

Who are you hoping the Devils grab?

For the #4 pick, I like:

1. Eklund
2. Hughes
3. Clarke

(assuming Power goes #1)

For the #29 pick, I like best d-man available if we get Eklund, best goal-scoring wing available if we get Hughes/Clarke

I was going to put Eklund at 4 but I feel they go Defense with #4

If I am wagering $$, I'd say Hughes.
But I think they should go Eklund...then trade their 29th pick for a young d-man.

Am happy either way
