Description

Every year I usually put descriptions for each pick but I'll only be doing it for the top-10 this year.

DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Shane Wright (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: If the Habs pass on Wright, if would be one of the worst decisions made by the team. They could build around him and Suzuki. I've heard rumors of Logan Cooley going number 1 and that would be a huge mistake.).
2. Juraj Slafkovsky (New Jersey Devils) (Details: The Devils are in the best position and under the least amount of pressure because they'll just grab the guy that the Habs don't take. If the Habs pass on Wright, the Devils will happily take him.).
3. Logan Cooley (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: The aren't gonna pass up on taking a potentially elite center in this spot. They need all positions but taking the best available is always the best choice. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arizona go for Nemec or Jiricek in this spot either.).
4. Simon Nemec (Seattle Kraken) (Details: The Kraken will happily take a great RHD that they will be building around. There aren't many defenseman available in the first round this year but this guy and Jiricek are gonna be complete studs.).
5. Cutter Gauthier (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: I'm not that high on Cutter Gauthier but the Flyers will probably take him in this spot. He flew up the draft rankings later in the year and he's a gritty forward that can score goals. Passing on Jiricek will come back to haunt them just like passing on Caufield.).
6. David Jiricek (Columbus Blue Jackets from Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Welcome to Columbus, David. Unreal pick here. The Blue Jackets have a stacked prospect pool with tons of young guns already making the team.).
7. Joakim Kemell (Ottawa Senators) (Details: If Columbus passes on Jiricek, Ottawa will take him here but I have them taking Kemell. He dropped a little bit in the rankings but it'll be a steal of a pick. He's very good and Ottawa is gonna need a replacement because Boucher is never making the team and even if he does it'll be forced and he will pick up little to no points.).
8. Jonathan Lekkerimäki (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Stevie Y is not passing up on this future elite forward. The best Swedish prospect in the draft and the Red Wings make out like bandits here. I had the Wings taking Savoie but they'll take Jonathan over him.).
9. Matthew Savoie (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Savoie falls to Buffalo and they are proud to take him. Very very good pick in this spot. Dahlin, Cozens, Savoie, etc.).
10. Frank Nazar (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: The Ducks will be happy to add another center to their pool of prospects. This draft is pretty deep and Nazar is an unbelievable add at this pick.).
