Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: I think he goes back to Michigan as reported).
3. Leo Carlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: It's Smith or Carlsson here.).
4. Will Smith (San Jose Sharks) (Details: Intrique starts here, Sharks reportedly leaning towards Smith. The Michkov slide starts).
5. Ryan Leonard (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: The Engine of Smith/Perrault line he was a part of, Habs probably consider a trade back here if a team has the balls to trade up for Michkov. Otherwise it's Leonard or Reinbacher.).
6. David Reinbacher (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: First DMAN off the board here).
7. Dalibor Dvorsky (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: Could go several ways here, but the Flyers get a player that I think thrives under a Tortz type coach, big center who plays a3 zone game).
8. Matvei Michkov (Washington Capitals) (Details: Washington takes the gamble, and OV helps in getting Michkov over after 2026).
9. Oliver Moore (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Wings add some nice center depth to the prospect pool.).
10. Zach Benson (St. Louis Blues) (Details: I think STL would prefer center depth, but Benson getting this far would be to hard to pass on, Elite skill guy).
11. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Could also be Willander here, but for sure one of the two).
12. Nate Danielson (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators) (Details: In need of Size down the middle the Coyotes take Danielson here. Could go as high as 7 or low as 20.).
13. Matthew Wood (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Easy pick here, Sabres love their big wingers. Wood is a good one.).
14. Gabe Perreault (Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: another player who could go anywhere from 7-15. IMO this is the best player available).
15. Andrew Cristall (Nashville Predators) (Details: At Trotz presser he challenged his scouts to take swings for the fences at the draft table, this is that. Cristall is a work in progress but if he can figure out his skating he has high upside).
16. Colby Barlow (Calgary Flames) (Details: Flames need Goals, this kid knows how to fill the net.).
17. Daniil But (Detroit Red Wings from New York Islanders) (Details: Massive winger with high upside).
18. Tom Willander (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: Steal IMO, RHD who does lots of good things. WPG has used alot of picks on forward in drafts lately).
19. Samuel Honzek (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning) (Details: Could look really nice on Bedards wing for a long time).
20. Dmitri Simashev (Seattle Kraken).
21. Otto Stenberg (Minnesota Wild).
22. Lukas Dragicevic (Philadelphia Flyers from Los Angeles Kings) (Details: Philly leaves the 1st round with Dvorsky and Dragicevic very happy).
23. Eduard Sale (New York Rangers) (Details: mocks have this guy going allll over the place).
24. Mikhail Gulyayev (Nashville Predators from Edmonton Oilers) (Details: Cristall and Gulyayev are swing for the fences types of picks).
25. Calum Ritchie (St. Louis Blues from Toronto Maple Leafs).
26. Brayden Yager (San Jose Sharks from New Jersey Devils) (Details: Smith and Yager kind of day for the Sharks).
27. David Edstrom (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: This team realllly needs C depth and grab a good one here).
28. Quentin Musty (Toronto Maple Leafs from Boston Bruins).
29. Maxim Strbak (St. Louis Blues from Dallas Stars).
30. Charlie Stramel (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: Carolina needs to get bigger).
31. Michael Hrabal (Montreal Canadiens from Florida Panthers) (Details: MTL has been open about taking a goalie in the 1st two rounds, grab the best one here).
32. Danny Nelson (Vegas Golden Knights).
