Description
In no way is this meant to be taken seriously. Just having some fun before the Draft on Thursday
ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-While I do think Wright is the best prospect, I think Slafkovsky will have the better rookie season and Montreal will take the player who's more likely to impact their team next season
2Logo of the New Jersey Devils-New Jersey takes advantage of Montreal's obsession with Europeans to snag the best prospect in the draft
3Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-Cooley looks like a great fit for Arizona.Will turn into a great centre for Keller the next couple years, if not sooner
4Logo of the Seattle Kraken-I think this pick comes down to Lamberts size. A 4 inch height difference is a lot for NHL GMs
5Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Philly takes the first defenceman of the draft. Hard to turn a 6'3" defender down, especially with the Provorov rumours. Fits well with Torts' style
6Logo of the Columbus Blue JacketsLogo of the Chicago BlackhawksColumbus gets the Jones replacement with Chicago's pick. Plain and Simple
7Logo of the Ottawa Senators-Ottawa goes best player available, grabbing of the best forwards in the WHL last season
8Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Detroit goes off the board once again. 35 points in 29 games is very solid and the Wings tend to do well with Swedish players
9Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Highly Skilled Forward who spent last season playing against grown men in Finland. Solid winger to add to the prospect cupboard
10Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Tough year in the KHL, but I still see him as a Top 10 talent
11Logo of the San Jose Sharks-New GM, new philosophy. Geekie was very good in WPG last season, could be a difference maker in the Sharks lineup next season
12Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-The USNDT continues to pump out incredible hockey players and Columbus takes the American talent
13Logo of the New York Islanders-The Islanders elect to go best player available, passing on Miroshnichenko because of concern over him dropping. Similar to Veleno falling to 30
14Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-Smaller defenceman out of North Bay. A nice prospect to add to the cupboard for the future
15Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-A run on defencemen begins, as Vancouver grabs a potential future partner for Quinn Hughes
16Logo of the Buffalo SabresLogo of the Vegas Golden KnightsTwo American defencemen to choose from, Buffalo takes the bigger player. They go defence here after taking Kemell earlier on
17Logo of the Nashville Predators-Nashville takes whichever is left over from Buffalo's pick. In this case, it's Casey. Good potential and Nashville knows how to develop young players
18Logo of the Dallas Stars-With the Klingberg rumours, Dallas goes defence here as well. I really like Luneau and Dallas should be a good spot for him
19Logo of the Minnesota WildLogo of the Los Angeles KingsMiroshnichenko's fall comes to an end, with Minny grabbing another young Russian forward
20Logo of the Washington Capitals-Washington goes forward, adding to a fairly stacked forward core
21Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins-Mateychuk played really well in Moose Jaw and I see Pittsburgh taking a chance on him little earlier in the draft
22Logo of the Anaheim DucksLogo of the Boston BruinsAnaheim takes Hughes, cementing a really good first round
23Logo of the St. Louis Blues-The London Knights forward goes the St Louis. Could see Tarasenko mentor Gazizov at Camp
24Logo of the Minnesota Wild-One of the best names in the draft goes to Minny. Two potentially impact players in the first round for the Wild
25Logo of the Toronto Maple Leafs-Toronto takes the best player available, leading to cries over fit and size, but Howard looks very good
26Logo of the Montreal CanadiensLogo of the Calgary FlamesMontreal loves an off the board pick and that's what Kasper is.Could be good, but this is probably the biggest chance at busting
27Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Carolina HurricanesArizona grabs a second American centre, as they look to build an actual identity as a team
28Logo of the Buffalo SabresLogo of the Florida PanthersHard to mess this pick up if you're Buffalo. Take best player available and run with your three first round talents. Could see a move involving this pick as well
29Logo of the Edmonton Oilers-Not too sure about this pick, as it could be moved as well, but if Edmonton uses it, they take someone they saw up close during the WHL Finals
30Logo of the Winnipeg JetsLogo of the New York RangersWinnipeg takes the Manitoba native as the coming home story of the draft. Counters the smaller nature of Nelson, who they took earlier
31Logo of the Tampa Bay Lightning-Tampa just traded McDonagh and they grab a future replacement for him
32Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Colorado AvalancheArizona completes the American Trifecta, reaching a bit for Cutter Gauthier
