Draft Class: 2023

Published: May 9, 2023 at 10:01 a.m.

Description

Come back June 29th and I'll say I told you so.

Michkov is the 2nd best player in this draft, but he'll drop cause 'logic'.

The defensemen in this draft realistically shouldn't be taken anywhere near the top 12.
But I guarantee at least 2 will.

Benson is comfortably a top 6 player in this draft, but will drop because 'small'.

Lottery Winners:

Chicago Blackhawks (1→1)
Anaheim Ducks (2→2)
