DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Lucky dicks. Wanted it to be ducks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Maybe Carlsson pushes but Fantilli is what I'd want).
3. Leo Carlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: I do not believe the jackets pass on Carlsson. A big centre/wing is tough to come by and they have young prospects everywhere except a big centre.).
4. Matvei Michkov (San Jose Sharks) (Details: San Jose went with Eklund (playmaker) , then Bystedt (big North South game) and Lund as centres, they can't pass on this superstar. I'd be shocked if they did).
5. Will Smith (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: By all accounts they really like him).
6. David Reinbacher (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: May not be the sexiest pick but I think having the 12th allows them to reach here and still get a great forward).
7. Ryan Leonard (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: Such a flyers pick. Heavy game with a rocket, models his game after the Tkachuks (his words lol). Could also go Moore here.).
8. Oliver Moore (Washington Capitals) (Details: Crazy fast centre/wing that some like more than Smith. I think he's a good start to a caps retool).
9. Zach Benson (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: High engine with Marco Kasper and Larkin with  Raymond would be a fun first and 2nd line).
10. Axel Sandin Pellikka (St. Louis Blues) (Details: I like the dynamic Swede for the blues).
11. Dalibor Dvorsky (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: If he gets to his projection as a 2nd line C, that's perfect behind Pettersson).
12. Eduard Sale (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators) (Details: I really don't know about where Sale fits, hes a wildcard to me. Would probably have him lower).
13. Colby Barlow (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Big time goal scorer but needs work. Probably a project).
14. Andrew Cristall (Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: High potential they need homeruns).
15. Mikhail Gulyayev (Nashville Predators) (Details: Thought of as the best offensive dman in the draft. Risky but could be a big payoff).
16. Matthew Wood (Calgary Flames) (Details: Crazy good shot just need work in some other areas. Personally one of my favs).
17. Koehn Ziemmer (Detroit Red Wings from New York Islanders) (Details: This is going to be a reach however, hes like Leonard in that he plays a hard pesky game and I think they are lacking that kind of grit).
18. Nate Danielson (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: Solid and most nhl ready game outside the top 5).
19. Brayden Yager (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning) (Details: How do yiu build on Bedard? Have Yager fall in your lap).
20. Samuel Honzek (Seattle Kraken) (Details: The kind of big, power game that can help Wright or Beniers).
21. Tom Willander (Minnesota Wild) (Details: I happen to like Willander, and I think given their prospect pool the wild could use some RD).
22. Daniil But (Columbus Blue Jackets from Los Angeles Kings) (Details: They're in a prime position for big risk big reward. Him and Carlsson are 2 freight trains to go with thief impressive young guns).
23. Otto Stenberg (New York Rangers) (Details: I happen to love Stenberg and think he should be taken in the top 20. Rangers can't pass on him).
24. Calum Ritchie (Nashville Predators from Edmonton Oilers) (Details: With the preds back they take a centre that becomes the highest upside C in their system).
25. Charlie Stramel (St. Louis Blues from Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: To me he just fits how the blues like to play).
26. Riley Heidt (San Jose Sharks from New Jersey Devils) (Details: They opt for someone a bit safer but a nice draft shaping up).
27. Kasper Halttunen (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: They need replacement scorers and no one shoots more than Halttunen (probably haha). I'm a big fan I just think teams won't value him that high).
28. Lukas Dragicevic (Toronto Maple Leafs from Boston Bruins) (Details: New GM, starts a new chapter future PP1?).
29. Gabe Perreault (Montreal Canadiens from Florida Panthers) (Details: Like Slaf and Mesar they laugh as Perrault falls in their lapo reunite him with Smith).
30. Quentin Musty (St. Louis Blues from Dallas Stars) (Details: Blues have to be happy with this draft if it falls this way. Little more of a playmaker to go with Stramel.).
31. Ethan Gauthier (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: Doesn't matter who they pick, he'll be traded in 2 years lol).
32. David Edstrom (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: Size and skill down the middle, something they're lacking in the system. He's up in some drafts and Carolina has one of the best scouting in the league.).

Love the jackets second pick. Let him devlope back home for 2 more years and then let him bring a fully devloped body to the NHL. Along with simashev still being on the board for the 34OA pick the jackets could bring some real size to bear in a few years. Think Voronkov But Sim Patty and Leo filling up the ice. Thats a lot of reach and skill at the same time.

Really good mock draft. I like it! I think Willander and Honzek might go earlier, but it's a total guessing game right now.
