ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | Logan Cooley (+2 ) | As a rookie, he leads all US born players in points by a mile (only counting the ones that were drafted in the 2022 Draft). | |
2 | - | Brad Lambert (+28 ) | There's a clear-cut second pick, that is clearly Lambert. Led the Jets in points during the prospect showcase. Appears to be played in nine NHL games this season, he's played well in the preseason putting up more points than Nemec, Wright, and Slaf. | |
3 | - | Shane Wright (+1 ) | Three-way tie for third. I have Wright here because he appears to be starting the season in the NHL. Though he's played worse than Lambert. | |
4 | - | Simon Nemec (-2 ) | He's been playing 20 minutes a night during most preseason games and hasn't made much mistakes. Could begin the season in the Devils top 4 then spend the rest of it in the AHL. | |
5 | - | Juraj Slafkovsky (-4 ) | One assist last game against Ottawa, but still not enough for me to believe that he starts the season in the NHL. Appears to be starting the season in the AHL. | |
6 | Marco Kasper (+2 ) | Was thinking Jiricek here, but Kasper's point totals in a men's league is amazing for his age. | ||
7 | David Jiricek (-1 ) | I was considering Jiricek for the last pick, so I have him here. So far is having a decent preseason, his size and two-way smarts could earn him a top 4 role in the NHL to start the season. | ||
8 | - | Kevin Korchinski (-1 ) | Played well during training camp, looks like he could be a top pairing guy for the Hawks once Jones is traded. Playing in the WHL as of now. | |
9 | - | Pavel Mintyukov (+1 ) | Could hit 100 points as a d-man this year in juniors. I have to include this kid in my top 10. | |
10 | - | Filip Mesar (+16 ) | Hasn't been cut from training camp. I have all six guys that haven't been cut, he looked amazing during the prospects showcase. Found excellent chemistry with Slaf during the preseason, the two should play on the same line together. This spot was controversial, I considered Savoie, Kemell, and Gauthier. | |
