| ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
|---|
| 1 | - | |||
| 2 | - | Draft starts at 3 | ||
| 3 | - | CBJ loves Smith, and they choose the elite speed over Carlsson. Might be falling for the smoke here | ||
| 4 | - | Long rebuild underway, Sharks take the best player available with gamebreaker ability, hoping it pays off | ||
| 5 | - | Canadiens sprint to the podium to make this pick | ||
| 6 | - | With two picks in the top 12, ARZ chooses to get their favorite defenseman at 6 with all of them still on the board | ||
| 7 | - | High effort and high speed, can provide a spark in other ways. Playing with Flyers 2022 1st Cutter Gauthier at BC | ||
| 8 | - | High IQ, good shot, will be ready to step in once the current C's in Washington depart | ||
| 9 | - | High riser, has a lot of offensive firepower, broke Matthews NDTP scoring record | ||
| 10 | - | Slides a little bit due to concerns with size and skating ability. Blues will appreciate puck skills and work ethic | ||
| 11 | - | Canucks seem to want to go D here, and the Swede is the next best option after Reinbacher | ||
| 12 | Two-way forward with a great shot and very competitive. Good haul in Round 1 for ARZ | |||
| 13 | - | BUF prefers a wing and Wood had a great season at UConn despite being the youngest player in college hockey | ||
| 14 | - | Elite skater, enters the zone at will, stood out on an exceptional NDTP team | ||
| 15 | - | Two-way forward with an NHL-ready body that can hold off defenders, good skater for his size | ||
| 16 | - | Well rounded two-way center, solid bet to be a good middle 6 center in the league. Grew up in Alberta | ||
