ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | Connor McDavid | No Brainer Generational Talent | |
2 | - | Auston Matthews | Huge body center who can play a 200 ft game and score 60+ goals. Nothing else to be said. | |
3 | - | Nathan MacKinnon | An absolute machine out there on the ice. Arguably the best skater in the league behind McDavid and has an insane shot/playmaking ability. | |
4 | - | Jack Hughes | ||
5 | - | Owen Power | A lot of unknown here still. Biggest skater to be drafted first in the last decade +. Solid two way D man who is projected to be key piece eating mins on a cup contending team. Similar style to Hedman but probably wont reach that level. | |
6 | Rasmus Dahlin | Dahlin has been a victim of the abysmal Buffalo rosters since his rookie season. Drafted hyped as "Lidstrom V2", his offensive numbers have yet to flourish. I expect as Buffalo gets better, we'll see the real Dahlin and I think he's still able to be an elite top pair Dman. | ||
7 | Aaron Ekblad | Ekblad came into the league a grown man. Defends really well, plays physical and has just been really solid his whole career. Him being out of Florida's lineup these last playoffs highlighted how big of an impact he has in anchoring his teams defense. Super underrated. | ||
8 | - | Nico Hischier | Similar to Dahlin, NJ's poor teams have kept Hischier from excelling so far. With the rise of Hughes, Mercer and a few other players, we saw a glimpse of Hischier's offensive talent. A solid TWF who will seemingly be NJ's 2nd line C for the next decade | |
9 | - | Alexis Lafrenire | Alexis is a high impact forward who has potential to be a rare breed in this league. A highly skilled power forward. Still lots of time for him to grow and put up higher numbers. almost 20 goals on NYR's 3rd line with limited PP time as well. Perhaps Laf will rise on this ranking in the future but for now im putting him here. | |
10 | - | Juraj Slafkovsky (-9 ) | Obviously Slafkovsky is ranked last as he's yet to play 1 game in the NHL.I think he has a chance to be an elite power forward who, like Alexis, can be a player very few teams have. Creating space for Caufield and Suzuki, he's expected to be one of MTL's top wingers for the next 10 years+. | |
