Draft Class: 2023

Description

Why Cristall doesnt get drafted in the first round: He is undersized at 5'8" and is a slow skater. Both those issues alone will make him fall. But pure skill he has top 10 talent.

Why Dragicevic falls: Has top 10 offense in the draft. But his defensive game is not good and the complete opposite.

DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks).
3. Will Smith (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: Columbus after the draft lottery has been scouting Smith hard.).
4. Leo Carlsson (San Jose Sharks).
5. Ryan Leonard (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Like said in my last post, Montreal loves this guy.).
6. David Reinbacher (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: Arizona currently loves Reinbacher. It makes sense, they are flexible at forward).
7. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: ASP is the guy the Flyers love and currently are wanting to build the team around. The prospect no one is talking about is Brink, everyones pick at this spot is Benson. Both players are similar.).
8. Matvei Michkov (Washington Capitals) (Details: In my last post, i had michkov dropping to 12th. A lot of comments said that michkov could come to the NHL sooner if he gets drafted by Washington if ovi enters the KHL.).
9. Zach Benson (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Stevie Y has been scouting Moore, Willander, and Honzek hard. But if Benson falls to their lap they should take him.).
10. Oliver Moore (St. Louis Blues) (Details: I had Dvorsky going to the Blues. But Moore is still available and hes one of the best skaters in the draft, especially way better than Dvorsky.).
11. Tom Willander (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Vancouver needs defenseman and has been linked to ASP. However I have Willander higher on my board so they take him.).
12. Mikhail Gulyayev (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators) (Details: If Michkov doesnt go to Arizona, they will get Gulyayev.).
13. Gabe Perreault (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Sabres opt for BPA if none of the 3 defenders are available. Production alone Perreault is a top pick, hes 9th on my board).
14. Dalibor Dvorsky (Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: Penguins should grab best forward available. Dvorsky is basically a rawer version of Malkin. Based off skating i have dvorsky falling.).
15. Colby Barlow (Nashville Predators).
16. Riley Heidt (Calgary Flames) (Details: A big reach but Heidt is basically Gaudreau 2.0).
17. Samuel Honzek (Detroit Red Wings from New York Islanders) (Details: At least Detroit gets one of the 3 guys they were targeting).
18. Nate Danielson (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: Rick Bowness type player. Cirelli 2.0).
19. Brayden Yager (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning).
20. Oliver Bonk (Seattle Kraken).
21. Matthew Wood (Minnesota Wild) (Details: Biggest steal of the draft. Falls cause he doesnt have pro level skating.).
22. Anton Wahlberg (Columbus Blue Jackets from Los Angeles Kings) (Details: Columbus passes on Smith and goes off the board taking the defensive Wahlberg. Hes a rawer version of Dvorsky.).
23. Eduard Sale (New York Rangers).
24. Dmitri Simashev (Nashville Predators from Edmonton Oilers).
25. Theo Lindstein (St. Louis Blues from Toronto Maple Leafs).
26. Daniil But (San Jose Sharks from New Jersey Devils) (Details: But has top 10 talent and adds size. Grier wants size and the sharks can wait on buts arrival.).
27. David Edstrom (Colorado Avalanche).
28. Pano Fimis (Toronto Maple Leafs from Boston Bruins) (Details: Toronto goes way off the board. They are in win now mode and could be trading Matthews. Fimis may be an overager but he has no holes and is nhl ready. Size doesnt matter).
29. Tanner Molendyk (St. Louis Blues from Dallas Stars) (Details: This guy can go between 10 to 40).
30. Gavin McCarthy (Carolina Hurricanes).
31. Maxim Strbak (Montreal Canadiens from Florida Panthers).
32. Calum Ritchie (Vegas Golden Knights).

i have still to understand why ovechkin would have any power in making michkov go to the nhl sooner? its the teams that owns him who have a say.

Sale is ranked 20th on my board. Has been inconsistent and is a liability in his own end. Also 90% of the teams are addressing by need, i can totally see Sale be drafted between the 10th to 25th range.
