1 | | - | | Yea.... no brainer. Next generational talent is here. |
2 | | - | | Hobey Baker winner. Will be a nice piece with Zegras in the top 6 for the next 10 years plus. Not a bad "Consolation" |
3 | | - | | Extreme upside. Smith could go here as well. But like Leo bit better and can be legit 1 C one day. |
4 | | - | | Would this be a surprise instead of Michkov going here? Think he slides... Smith has it all with puck skills and creativity. Michkov 1-B |
5 | | - | | Reach? Played with Smith on that top USNTPD line. Canada's team surprises us with Leonard over Michkov. |
6 | | - | | Geez finally....Only arguably the best Russian draft prospect since Ovi. Gonna need to wait till that KHL contract expires though first Zona fans. |
7 | | - | | May be another reach but Torts love these two way hard nose players and Nate is that guy. Can kill PK's and be a bull in front. High on this kid. |
8 | | - | | Future top 4 dman who can play with flair. Fits in Washington well I think. Need some dman prospects. |
9 | | - | | Reinbacher falling here is too salavating for Stevie Y to pass up here. Adds another elite D prospect to Detroit. Stacking that blueline. |
10 | | - | | Boy if this happens STL can thank there lucky stars Benson falling all the way here for them would be a miracle. Adds versatility can play wing and center and had 98 pts in 60 games with the WHL Ice. Tarasenko replacement? |
11 | | - | | Van need a pure scorer and Dvorksy does just that. Will fill the net for you and Canucks can surely use it. Gives high energy effort. |
12 | | | | Either Heidt here or Oliver Moore I think makes the most sense. They need depth down the middle and Heidt can do everything up top. Don't look at the numbers Heidt is way more than that. Arizona will be please I think. |
13 | | - | | Sale has fallin just a little bitnd slides to 13 here to Buffalo. They will take it though. Offers combos of speed, size and skill. Top 6 potential. |
14 | | - | | Love this guys skating ability. Could see him go higher as well. Future 1C potential. |
15 | | - | | Back 2 back Olly's! Going to be a stead reliable good top 4 defender for a long time I believe. Has all the tools of a shutdown defensive d-man. |
16 | | - | | Probably one of if not the most enigmatic players in the draft. Little undersized, great passer/playmaker. |
17 | | | | High hockey IQ type player. Excellent shot and will be a killer on the PP. |
18 | | - | | Well rounded winger, good goal scorer. Needs work defensively. Can bury the puck though. |
19 | | | | Excellent compliment to Bedard. Plays in all situations. Will run a PP and kill a PK. Good quality 2 way play. |
20 | | - | | Former no 1 overall pick in OHL draft. Great offensive skill, plays witha little pizazz to him and likes to make plays. Scoring output could see him play sooner than later in Seattle. |
21 | | - | | Huge kid at 6'5 also brings the skills to boot. Needs little fine tuning and some development but man if he gets it together. Watch the heck out. |
22 | | | | Great wheels and hard hat on this kid. Takes no plays off constant motor. Will crash the net and annoy you up and down the ice. Love to that kinda guy on your team. |
23 | | - | | Good size and speed combo. PPG player for the Generals in the OHL. |
24 | | | | Man another 2 way guy that can play Center or Wing. Stock riser, not huge player but not afraid either. Soft hands,good hockey IQ all around. |
25 | | | | Blues like Russians and why not with this kid? Big kid at 6'4, skates well, and has an impressive 2-way game. All the makings of top pairing right d-man. |
26 | | | | Saski boy. Unreal release and can finish as well. Dangerous off the rush. Needs to add some weight. |
27 | | - | | Big time offensively skilled. Can beat you one-on-one. Pest on the ice. Creates for teammates. |
28 | | | | What a slide here for Toronto. With a smile on there face as well draft this kid. Smaller at 5'10 170lbs put can he create and transtion like no ones business. Almost another forward out there. Will struggle with physicality and get knocked down at times. But steal this late. |
29 | | | | Well rounded, high hockey IQ kid. Great passer and skater. Good one-timer on the PP. |
30 | | - | | Another stock riser here. Nice size and offensive abilities. Great shot and release. Lacks physicalness but can build up to it with trianing and experience. |
31 | | | | Good vision and playmaking. Creates in small spaces. Cant say the word creator enough here. |
32 | | - | | PPG player for the Chicago Steel this past season. Can even kill PK's when called to. Overall, soft hands, good vision, scans the ice and another great game creator. |
