DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: I hate you but obvi pick congrats i hate you but congrats).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: instagram hockey team im jealous of your talented players).
3. Leo Carlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: i honestly wanted them to win bedard but they get an amazing player in carlsson and wish the red wings could get him to play with raymond and berggren :().
4. Matvei Michkov (San Jose Sharks) (Details: Sharks will continue to be...meh. Maybe trade the pick knowing you would be bad waiting for michkov anyways so why not get more assets? idk. they make the pick).
5. Will Smith (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: you cant mess this up and they shouldnt. Will Smith is clear as day the next best available and its a position of need other than RHD and Will Smith will be the better player overall than Reinbacher no offense to him.).
6. David Reinbacher (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: Last time a Dman was not taken in the top 10 was 2003. It doesnt stop here, and its a smart move by ARZ who might honestly be booted out of the state in a few years. Draws Mo Seider Comps and I see it.).
7. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: IMO, Philly has 3 options. Dvorsky,Benson, or ASP. They go RHD here after Reinbacher off the table but love his skating ability and not worried about his size).
8. Dalibor Dvorsky (Washington Capitals) (Details: Cant remember the last time the Caps picked this early in the draft. Better start drafting Center depth if Ovi wants to break the record and then some.).
9. Zach Benson (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: I will note I am a Wings fan. Call it bias if you will, but i really do see it panning out like this for the red wings. If Benson is not here and ASP is gone, You have plety of good options to choose from. I do think it would be a winger.).
10. Oliver Moore (St. Louis Blues) (Details: 2nd coming of Dylan Larkin. Nice pick here.).
