DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks).
3. Leo Carlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets).
4. Will Smith (San Jose Sharks).
5. Zach Benson (Montreal Canadiens).
6. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: Could see either ASP or Reinbacher here, either make their D prospects much better).
7. David Reinbacher (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: Same as AZ, could take ASP if he's here. Both teams need D prospects).
8. Matvei Michkov (Washington Capitals) (Details: Lot's of speculation on who he wants to play for, have to imagine he'd want to play for the caps solely bc of ovi. Definitely a top 4 player in this draft).
9. Ryan Leonard (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Replaces what they lost in Bertuzzi).
10. Nate Danielson (St. Louis Blues) (Details: Lacking center prospects, very solid 2 way player).
11. Dmitri Simashev (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Big defenseman, solid in his own end).
12. Matthew Wood (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators) (Details: Great shot, big body, could be a great winger for Cooley in the future).
13. Dalibor Dvorsky (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Great prospects, young team, Dvorsky's the best player available).
14. Brayden Yager (Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: Good forward to help a very weak prospect pool).
15. Mikhail Gulyayev (Nashville Predators) (Details: Good 2 way defender, similar to what Ekholm brought).
16. Riley Heidt (Calgary Flames) (Details: Dynamic forward, could be great top 6 player).
17. Tom Willander (Detroit Red Wings from New York Islanders) (Details: No pressure with this pick, can take a risk. Willander could be a very good defender behind Seider and Edvinsson).
18. Andrew Cristall (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: Need a winger having drafted centers the last few years).
19. Eduard Sale (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning) (Details: High potential, still has more to prove. Chicago can take a chance).
20. Lukas Dragicevic (Seattle Kraken) (Details: Top 3 offensive d-man in this draft).
21. Colby Barlow (Minnesota Wild) (Details: Physical winger, MIN lacks wing prospects).
22. Oliver Moore (Philadelphia Flyers from Los Angeles Kings) (Details: Center with a great shot, would be a good piece for a rebuild).
23. Gabe Perreault (New York Rangers) (Details: Need winger depth, especially if Kane and Vlad leave).
24. Samuel Honzek (Nashville Predators from Edmonton Oilers) (Details: Good at almost everything, could go almost anywhere in the first round, can't go wrong with this player).
25. Oliver Bonk (St. Louis Blues from Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: Good steady d-man, could be a good second pair guy. (St Louis will likely trade one of these 2 picks, but I'll assume they won't)).
26. Calum Ritchie (San Jose Sharks from New Jersey Devils) (Details: Very offensive, physical player, lot's of potential).
27. Ethan Gauthier (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: Good winger, would be useful in the future if Landeskog never plays again).
28. Caden Price (Toronto Maple Leafs from Boston Bruins) (Details: D-man who can do a bit of everything, consistency could be a problem, would benefit from guys like Rielly, Brodie and Liljegren).
29. Theo Lindstein (St. Louis Blues from Dallas Stars) (Details: Another D-man that would help, especially if they move Parayko).
30. Daniil But (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: Huge winger, adds size and grit to an already dangerous team).
31. Étienne Morin (Montreal Canadiens from Florida Panthers) (Details: Adds a defenseman to a forward heavy prospect pool. Also helps that he's french).
32. Jayden Perron (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: Almost no prospect depth, take the best player available).

I doubt MTL adds another LHD prospect within the first 3 rounds. We need more RHD
