Draft Class: 2023

DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: No Brainer. If Chicago does not select Bedard, Then all hawks fans better storm the united center).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: I think Fantilli would have gone first in last years draft and this draft if there was no Connor Bedard).
3. Leo Carlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: Another no brainer Carlsson is an amazing player and would fit in well in Columbus. Carlsson has the chance to be the top-end No. 1 center Columbus has been missing.).
4. Matvei Michkov (San Jose Sharks) (Details: This pick will be interesting pick in this draft. Either the sharks take the better player who will come in 3 years or a safe player who might be as good. Personally I have the sharks taking Michkov as the sharks can wait for him and have a great piece for their rebuild. I think Michkov would gone 2nd if he did not have the KHL contract).
5. Will Smith (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Kent Hughes goes to the podium and proudly selects Smith. Smith is a game-breaking talent who will make a great 1-2 punch with Suzuki).
6. Zach Benson (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: The Houston/Salt Lake City Coyotes are in a unique spot. Either they go offense and select one of the top forwards in Benson or Leonard or they go defence and replace Chychrun with reinbacher the top dman in this draft. They select Benson who is a terrific skater and relentless contributor on the forecheck, Benson will go to the tough areas of the ice and always battle hard despite his frame. He also plays with Connor Geekie.).
7. Ryan Leonard (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: Flyers take the the next American with Leonard. He has high-end compete, grittiness, a big shot and the willingness to be the guy that stirs the pot when his team needs a spark. He and Gauthier will be special on the first line wings. Flyer fans need to start praying for Celebrini).
8. Dalibor Dvorsky (Washington Capitals) (Details: Dvorsky is a stud. is a good skater, great with the puck on his stick, and has an ability to maintain possession with good vision. Washington happily takes Dvorsky as they add another stud for their prospect pool).
9. David Reinbacher (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Det is on the clock and they take the best defensemen. Reinbacher replaces Hronek and allows Detroit to beef up their blueline. With the other first round pick, Detroit will go forward).
10. Oliver Moore (St. Louis Blues) (Details: This one stings. As a Canucks fan I would love the Canucks to draft Moore this year and draft a RHD next year but I have to be realistic. Moore is an amazing player and would be an amazing addition to the St Louis prospect pool.).
11. Nate Danielson (Vancouver Canucks).
12. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators) (Details: The Houston/Salt Lake City Coyotes are back on the clock. After going offence with the first pick, they go defence and fill the hole Chychrun left on their blue line. ASP is amazing offensive defenceman  who is a Quinn Hughes lite. He immediately becomes the best defenceman in the coyotes prospect pool.  I can Arizona also choosing Simashev but ASP is higher on my board. The future is bright in Houston/Salt Lake City).

For the Canucks: Vancouver is in an interesting situation. They can either fill the center hole or the RHD hole in their roster. I have the Canucks drafting Danielson as he fills the biggest need is the best player available. The Canucks can take Williander or ASP but they need to remember the last time they drafted based on position and not BPA. (2016) Additionally, the 2024 RHD draft prospects are looking better than this years players

The sharks have shown very little interest in Michkov while they have taken Will Smith to dinner, Smith went to high school with Griers son, no one in the league knows more about Smith than Grier. Sorry but you don’t know the script.
