ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-BPA
2Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Michkov is better, but Fantilli makes sense here as a "safer" pick and likely future 1C
3Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Should be Michkov, but based on recent moves it seems like Jarmo thinks he can turn this around quicker
4Logo of the San Jose Sharks-Very well could be Smith, but would be pretty inexcusable imo if the sharks pass on the 2nd best player at 4 oa
5Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-BPA
6Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-Best defender imo and AZ needs defense
7Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Philly could go for multiple guys here, I think Benson is BPA but he might fall due to size. (even though it shouldn't be a concern). Can't go wrong with Leonard here still
8Logo of the Washington Capitals-Caps could go so many directions... likley a brutal rebuild coming on the horizon. Going to go BPA
9Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Feels like a Stevy Y pick
10Logo of the St. Louis Blues-STL could go so many diffirent directions, probably prefer one of the top 9 here to fall. This could be a trade back spot if the board falls this way, but D is a bigger need for them imo so they go there
11Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-Canucks go a little off the board and hunt upside on D
12Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Ottawa SenatorsWas torn between Cristall and Dvorsky here, I think AZ takes the shot at the higher upside player with the top 2 C's likely set in AZ long term anyways
13Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Could fall due to Russia concerns, but I think he's the best D on the board here and its a position of need for BUF
14Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins-BPA - really shouldn't be on the board here but he is
15Logo of the Nashville Predators-BPA
16Logo of the Calgary Flames-Position of need and one of the best guys available here
17Logo of the Detroit Red WingsLogo of the New York IslandersBig bodied winger, lit up NCAA in his d-1.
18Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-BPA - likely goes sooner than this but it's how the board fell
19Logo of the Chicago BlackhawksLogo of the Tampa Bay LightningHawks need to add size up front and they do that here
20Logo of the Seattle Kraken-A "safer" pick. SEA adds a versilatle forward up front
21Logo of the Minnesota Wild-
22Logo of the Philadelphia FlyersLogo of the Los Angeles Kings
23Logo of the New York Rangers-
24Logo of the Nashville PredatorsLogo of the Edmonton Oilers

I like the mock.

Ass a fan of Vancouver, I definitely think Willander is an option for them if he's still on the board. With that said If Dvorsky is still on the board by the time they draft I sure hope they nab him. He could potentially be their 3C in a years time, (which is also a current glaring hole for the team) and could potentially fill Miller's 2C role if/when he starts to decline in the next couple of seasons.

I don’t disagree that the Hawks need more size but I have a hard time invisioning them passing on Perreault if he is still there. From what I have seen him play his offensive ability puts him on the top 6 of any team in the league if not their top line. (In a few years from now mind you)

Seriously doubt STL takes ASP considering we have no need for offensive minded defenseman.

I think the hawks pick (at 19) will be one of four guys: Musty, Honzek, Perrault, But
