Description

I'm just going to do the Top 20 for now. Let me know where I got it right, wrong or if there's going to be a surprise pick in the top 20.

DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Shane Wright (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Shane Wright is the best player in this draft and has the potential to be a true #1 center for Montreal.).
2. Juraj Slafkovsky (New Jersey Devils) (Details: With NJ having Hughes, Hischier and Mercer as their top 3 centers, they go with the big winger Juraj Slafkovsky to compliment them.).
3. Logan Cooley (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: At #3 Arizona goes with the best player available, Logan Cooley. Cooley is exactly what Arizona needs, a #1 center bursting with skill.).
4. Simon Nemec (Seattle Kraken) (Details: Everything I’ve read about Nemec sounds like he’s going to be the best defenseman in the draft. Seattle grabbed their center last year with Beniers, this year they grab their defenseman in Simon Nemec.).
5. David Jiricek (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: The best player available at 5 is David Jiricek. Philly right now needs a little of everything and you can’t go wrong with a defenseman with top pairing potential.).
6. Joakim Kemell (Columbus Blue Jackets from Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: After the top 5 there’s a bit of a dropoff. With CBJ taking both Johnson and Sillinger last draft, I feel they’re gonna grab a winger. Columbus selects Joakim Kemell with the 6th overall pick.).
7. Matthew Savoie (Ottawa Senators) (Details: With Ottawa I see 1 of 2 things happening. I could see the Sens drafting Savoie if he’s here, or potentially trading the pick to Minnesota for Kevin Fiala with an extension. I’m going to say the Wild might want a little more so Ottawa drafts Matthew Savoie.).
8. Cutter Gauthier (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Cutter Gauthier is a big forward who can play both center and wing. He can do a little bit of everything and is a pretty good goal scorer in his own right. Might be a little to early to draft him but if Yzerman wants someone, he’s gonna grab him. Just look at Moritz Seider.).
9. Ivan Miroshnichenko (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: From what I’ve read about Ivan Miroschnichenko, he is a top 10 talent. Unfortunately this year he had a health scare. He’s been recovering right now and will hopefully be ready to continue playing in the KHL next season. I think Buffalo is ok with taking a gamble on a player like Miroschnichenko.).
10. Frank Nazar (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Nazar can play both center and wing. Anaheim is not going to rush him and they will let him develop. When he’s ready, he’ll get a shot with one of Anaheims young centers in Zegras and McTavish.).
11. Jonathan Lekkerimäki (San Jose Sharks) (Details: With San Jose having Couture and Hertl locked up for the next 5 years plus, the Sharks are going to draft another winger to play with them in Lekkerimaki.).
12. Pavel Mintyukov (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: With CBJ grabbing Kemell with pick 6, I feel they can go off the board a little bit and grab Pavel Mintyukov who is a solid prospect).
13. Brad Lambert (New York Islanders) (Details: If Lane Lambert's son Brad is availabe at pick 13, I see the Islanders drafting him.).
14. Conor Geekie (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: If Geekie is not drafted yet, the Jets draft him. He currently plays for the Winnipeg Ice.).
15. Ty Nelson (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: If Geekie is not drafted yet, the Jets draft him. He currently plays for the Winnipeg Ice.).
16. Danila Yurov (Buffalo Sabres from Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: With Buffalo already drafting Miroschnichencko and Yurov being available at pick 16 they grab another Russian winger in Yurov.).
17. Denton Mateychuk (Nashville Predators) (Details: Nashville is known as a defenseman factory with almost every defenseman they draft becomes a top 4 guy. With Denton Mateychuk not being drafted yet, its an easy pick for Nashville.).
18. Filip Mesar (Dallas Stars) (Details: I think at this point Dallas goes with the BPA which at 18 is Filip Mesar.).
19. Marco Kasper (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: The Kings have the best prospect pool in the NHL today. They can go any way but I feel they go with a hard worker and solid player in Marco Kasper.).
20. Kevin Korchinski (Washington Capitals) (Details: The Capitals are the opposite of the Kings. Their prospect pool isn't as strong and the team is one of the oldest in the league. They need to restock the cupboard and start with defenseman Kevin Korchinski.).

If Ross Lambert would realize his brother Lane is Brad's father, that would make it the most interesting draft ever.

Nice job! However I can't see Buffalo spending their top two picks on Russians with all the question marks about getting them over here. Maybe one, but can't risk walking away with nothing at both 9 and 16.
