Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks).
3. Will Smith (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: They will likely take Carlsson but watching Smith highlights man this guy looks like he is going to be good).
4. Leo Carlsson (San Jose Sharks) (Details: Concerns about his skating? Maybe he is too talented to be concerned about skating).
5. Zach Benson (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Montreal is a bit of a wildcard for me. Could likely use a high end D man but not sure if the quality is there. Benson is small but would be a great line driver for Caufield to retrieve pucks in the future.).
6. Matvei Michkov (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: Maybe they have time to wait? Have time to generate buzz about the pick and draw attention to their team?).
7. David Reinbacher (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: Think Philly might go for a Dman. They are a bit of a wild card as well).
8. Oliver Moore (Washington Capitals).
9. Eduard Sale (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Seems like a Detroit pick, could also see Dvorsky, Cristall, or Sandin Pellikka going here).
10. Andrew Cristall (St. Louis Blues).
11. Dalibor Dvorsky (Vancouver Canucks).
12. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators).
13. Dmitri Simashev (Buffalo Sabres).
14. Colby Barlow (Pittsburgh Penguins).
