Description
The second part of round two is a guess
ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-Obvious
2Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Also obvious
3Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Probably more complete than Smith
4Logo of the San Jose Sharks-Could be Michkov instead. San Jose can wait
5Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-Would be happy with Smith or Michkov
6Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-
7Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Interested to see if Briere keeps up the Flyers mantra of buidling with power or goes with what he was as a player and takes a skill player.
8Logo of the Washington Capitals-Backstrom replacement
9Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Red Wings and a Swedish player seems about right.
10Logo of the St. Louis Blues-Second line player behind the Kyrou and Thomas combination
11Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-Talented player to play with Pettersson
12Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Ottawa SenatorsPower player to compliment the talented forwards in Arizona/Houston/Utah.
13Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Taking a player similar to Tage Thompson in some ways.
14Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins-Can learn the ropes from Crosby and Malkin.
15Logo of the Nashville Predators-Talented player will have time to develop in Nashville. Not sure he is a Barry Trotz type player, but his talent wins out.
16Logo of the Calgary Flames-Calgary insuring against potential free agency loss at center.
17Logo of the Detroit Red WingsLogo of the New York IslandersDifferent type of center than Larkin, which is a good thing.
18Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-The riser of the draft could go earlier, but Winnipeg takes him if available.
19Logo of the Chicago BlackhawksLogo of the Tampa Bay LightningTaking passes from Connor Bedard after doing so from Will Smith.
20Logo of the Seattle Kraken-Adding to the lack of higher end finesses talent in Seattle.
21Logo of the Minnesota Wild-Replaces Dumba
22Logo of the Columbus Blue JacketsLogo of the Los Angeles KingsCBJ went with offence with Carlsson, so they draft a D-man.
23Logo of the New York Rangers-Could be a Kreider all over again
24Logo of the Nashville PredatorsLogo of the Edmonton OilersA playmaker to compliment the wingers in the system.
25Logo of the St. Louis BluesLogo of the Toronto Maple LeafsProbably should go earlier, but St. Louis would take him here I think.
26Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the New Jersey DevilsA bit of a project that the Sharks can wait for.
27Logo of the Colorado Avalanche-BPA
28Logo of the Toronto Maple LeafsLogo of the Boston BruinsToronto needs size for the playoffs
29Logo of the St. Louis BluesLogo of the Dallas StarsSt. Louis foes for a smaller but talented player.
30Logo of the Carolina Hurricanes-
31Logo of the Montreal CanadiensLogo of the Florida PanthersThey get a right handed D man here rather than wasting#5 on Reinbacher
32Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights-Seems like a Vegas type of player.

I don't think Bonk will make it that far, man. The Bkues would certainly take him way before Brindley.

Brindley is a worse version of Cristall so i agree. Bonk will go higher than both. Also the red wings steal benson if hes available.

If Benson is there at 9 Detroit better take. ASP is 5' 11" and Yzerman likes big Dmen so unless Andersson thinks he is the second coming of Nicklas Lidstrom Yzerman isn't going to draft him. Then they take Willinder at 17. Since Detroit has plethora of LHDs they take Anton Wahlberg instead of Morin.

Not sure it plays out like that but that would be my best case scenario.
