1 | | - | | A pick that speeds up the Ducks rebuild two years but this might be the one place to draft CB without having him up next year. |
2 | | - | | Chicago takes the most pro ready player as a consolation prize. |
3 | | - | | Columbus still grabs a high end center to put in between Laine and JG |
4 | | - | | With the sharks nowhere near contending they can wait for Michkov |
5 | | - | | I think what it comes down to is Montreal really need a RHD but picking at #5 there is no way they can pick one. Will Smith gives them a 1-2 Center combo for the next decade. |
6 | | - | | Clear cut #6 player |
7 | | - | | Next four picks are down to Yager, Moore, Sandin Pellikka and Reinbacher |
8 | | - | | Its a reach for Vancouver for sure but it IS what they need |
9 | | - | | Washington add the best offensive dman in the draft |
10 | | - | | Blues need a center, Dvorksy looks like the better player now but I think I'd take Yager in the long haul |
11 | | - | | Detroit adds a player with speed to play with Larkin. |
12 | | | | Having already landed Bensons offensive upside they look to replace JC. |
13 | | - | | Buffalo stays the course with lanky players with good shots. |
14 | | - | | Cristall has too much offensive upside to pass here |
15 | | | | Montreal needs a RHD but the guys they will be interested in probably won't be available at 15. They have some solid prospect wingers but are lighter on Centers. |
16 | | - | | Sale is a player that will be able to play with the penguins top two lines sooner rather than later |
17 | | | | Another team that could go defense but not at 17. I can see the wings grabing a player like Barlow after taking Leonard at 11. |
18 | | - | | Flames could probably use a little bit of everything but Heidt and Dragicevic would be very tempting for them. |
19 | | - | | Jets add a highly offensive RHD |
20 | | - | | Seattle grabs a big winger |
21 | | | | Based on history this is probably going to be where the Blues Draft. I |
22 | | - | | Colorado is playing the jets so one team will make it past this point so I see this pick going to the Kings/Columbus. I can see the Blue Jackets grabbing another center here or a Dman. |
23 | | - | | Minnesota vs Dallas could go either way, this could also be the second blues pick based on matchups. Wild take But, Blues take Perreault, Rangers take Perreault |
24 | | | | |
25 | | | | Nashville grabs a like for like replacement |
26 | | | | This is probably where Tampa bay would be picking so I can see them grabbing Brindley |
27 | | | | I can see the Rangers using this pick from Dallas stars on |
28 | | | | I see the Devils being in this slot and the Sharks grabbing Gauthier |
29 | | - | | Vegas grabs a future top four Dman |
30 | | | | Carolina picking at 30 they grab the big man with Stramel |
31 | | - | | Avalanche add a high upside forward |
32 | | | | Toronto grabs a DMAN |
