Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks).
3. Matvei Michkov (Columbus Blue Jackets).
4. Leo Carlsson (San Jose Sharks).
5. Gabe Perreault (Montreal Canadiens).
6. Ryan Leonard (Arizona Coyotes).
7. Oliver Moore (Philadelphia Flyers).
8. Brayden Yager (Washington Capitals) (Details: One of the more underrated players in this draft who has had an excellent post season so this runs his stock up).
9. Will Smith (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: I don't think he's as good as #5 because I feel a lot of his play is not that translatable to the NHL and I feel like he could be a bust, but still an awesome player).
10. Axel Sandin Pellikka (St. Louis Blues) (Details: in my eyes the best defenseman in the draft).
11. Zach Benson (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: having a good but not great post season so his stock slightly falls but still should be a huge asset (and this would be an awesome pick for vancouver)).
12. Eduard Sale (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators).
13. Andrew Cristall (Buffalo Sabres).
14. Colby Barlow (Pittsburgh Penguins).
15. Dalibor Dvorsky (Nashville Predators) (Details: kind of overrated to me and is very raw and a project pick. i cant give (most) project picks any higher than 15 most of the time).
16. Mikhail Gulyayev (Calgary Flames) (Details: floor makes him a bit lower than maybe his skill shows).
17. Dmitri Simashev (Detroit Red Wings from New York Islanders) (Details: this one is gonna get a lot of comments isn't it lol).
18. Samuel Honzek (Winnipeg Jets).
19. Calum Ritchie (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning).
20. Michael Hrabal (Seattle Kraken) (Details: this is gonna get a lot of perplexity but screw it i guess. he's a damn good goalie).
21. Theo Lindstein (Minnesota Wild) (Details: offensive game could maybe put him in the second round but he really can shut down opposing forwards).
22. Riley Heidt (Columbus Blue Jackets from Los Angeles Kings).
23. David Reinbacher (New York Rangers) (Details: i have questions about his floor and the league he plays for but if he pans out he'll be a huge steal here).
24. Otto Stenberg (Nashville Predators from Edmonton Oilers).
25. Kasper Halttunen (St. Louis Blues from Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: i've seen a lot of people put him in the second round but i think he's so good and could possibly get taken around here).
26. Tanner Molendyk (San Jose Sharks from New Jersey Devils) (Details: SERIOUSLY underrated).
27. Matthew Wood (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: this guy sucks in my eyes and i could see him not even making the nhl. at best a bottom 6 guy who can play because of his senses and physicality but that's about it).
28. Lenni Hämeenaho (Toronto Maple Leafs from Boston Bruins) (Details: this will also bring a lot of perplexity. lemme hear it :)).
29. Hunter Brzustewicz (Montreal Canadiens from Florida Panthers) (Details: i've seen him all over the place).
30. Oliver Bonk (St. Louis Blues from Dallas Stars).
31. Quentin Musty (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: i dont think he's as good as everyone says, but he should go in the first round and should be a heart and soul player that i think would fit VERY well in vegas).
32. Lukas Dragicevic (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: also don't think he's as good as people say but he should be good).

Round 2
33. Nate Danielson (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: dont understand his hype but should be a solid bottom 6 player who can play 2nd line if needed to, but nonetheless a player that will help get wins).
34. Maxim Strbak (Columbus Blue Jackets).
35. Beau Akey (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: has had a hell of a post season so i gave him a bone and moved him higher than he probably should go).
36. Jayden Perron (San Jose Sharks).
37. Noah Dower Nilsson (Montreal Canadiens).
38. Jesse Kiiskinen (Arizona Coyotes).
39. Tom Willander (Buffalo Sabres from Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: i feel like this is gonna be a huge steal and will rub salt in my wound for that stupid risto trade).
40. Alex Ciernik (Washington Capitals).
41. Daniil But (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: very VERY raw but if developed very carefully could be a VERY good hockey player, but is in the 2nd round because he'll likely be a project).
42. Caden Price (Detroit Red Wings from St. Louis Blues).
43. Mathieu Cataford (Detroit Red Wings from Vancouver Canucks) (Details: i have some serious respect for cataford and i feel like he's better than people give him credit for).
44. Bradly Nadeau (Chicago Blackhawks from Ottawa Senators) (Details: put up godly numbers but i want to see how it translates to higher levels of play).
45. Denver Barkey (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: another guy having a great post season that had his stock rise).
46. Luca Pinelli (Nashville Predators from Pittsburgh Penguins).
47. Oscar Fisker Mølgaard (Nashville Predators).
48. Ethan Gauthier (Calgary Flames).
49. Cameron Allen (New York Islanders) (Details: i know he's having a poor season but really? 1st to 3rd round? i think that's too far of a decline for him (but i could be overrating him)).
50. Luca Cagnoni (Seattle Kraken from Winnipeg Jets).
51. Timur Mukhanov (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning).
52. Andrew Strathmann (Seattle Kraken).
53. Aydar Suniev (Minnesota Wild).
54. Koehn Ziemmer (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: i SERIOUSLY don't think he's that good and will be a mega project pick, but if he does work out he could be a serviceable player. we'll see).
55. William Whitelaw (Chicago Blackhawks from New York Rangers).
56. Carson Rehkopf (Edmonton Oilers).
57. Noah Erliden (Seattle Kraken from Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: his performance in the WJC U 18 was so good i had to bump him up from 3rd round to 2nd. this is just based off my rankings however i dont think they would actually take 2 goalies (but we've seen stranger things happen)).
58. Gavin Brindley (New Jersey Devils).
59. Danny Nelson (Anaheim Ducks from Colorado Avalanche).
60. Emil Järventie (Anaheim Ducks from Boston Bruins).
61. Étienne Morin (Florida Panthers) (Details: really stepped it up during the post season and would be a very sneaky pick for this team).
62. Gracyn Sawchyn (Dallas Stars).
63. Roman Kantserov (Minnesota Wild from Vegas Golden Knights).
64. Jordan Tourigny (Carolina Hurricanes).

Round 3
65. Arttu Kärki (Anaheim Ducks).
66. Aram Minnetian (Columbus Blue Jackets).
67. Ryan Fine (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: don't think he's as good as second round but he could end up being a heart and soul player who would win you games based off his leadership).

69. Ondrej Molnar (Montreal Canadiens).
70. Jakub Dvorak (Arizona Coyotes).

WPG agrees. Honzek at that point is a steal.

What’s your question on the NL. A league full of former NHLers and current NHLer (Texier). The floor of Reinbacher is a top 3D ans his ceilling: Heiskanen.

I’d say his floor is pretty middle of the road but his upside is top pairing defensemen for a while

I don’t know why you question his league because that’s what everyone did with Petterson, Pasternak and couple other guys and we all saw what happened
