TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
1. Connor Bedard (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Again FU hawks).
2. Adam Fantilli (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Ducks will be back here next year draft 1-3).
3. Will Smith (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: At 3 Columbus is looking for a LIFER.  Will Smith has showed up everywhere and put up points.).
4. Matvei Michkov (San Jose Sharks) (Details: Sharks will be back picking 1-3 next year they take the chance on a generation player.).
5. Leo Carlsson (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Montreal fans will be thrilled with this outcome.).
6. David Reinbacher (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: This is where it gets tricky.  I can see Arizona walking into this wanting Leonard and Perrault.  I can also see them taking Reinbacher and ASP).
7. Ryan Leonard (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: A Philly player for the rebuild).
8. Zach Benson (Washington Capitals) (Details: a game changing player).
9. Colby Barlow (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Detroit has been rumored to be high on Barlow and Honzek.).
10. Oliver Moore (St. Louis Blues) (Details: Blues add the center and speed they were looking for).
11. Dalibor Dvorsky (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Vancouver probably won't make the playoffs and will probably be picking in the same area.  Dvorsky and Pettersson is a great 1-2 for the future.).
12. Axel Sandin Pellikka (Arizona Coyotes from Ottawa Senators) (Details: at 6/12 Arizona can't loose.  Bill Armstrong is awesome and the Coyotes are lucky to have him.  He will find gems deep in drafts so grabbing the top two RHD to add to this team puts them in playoff contention in two years.).
13. Tom Willander (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Buffalo could go center but adding Willander sets up their top four for the next decade.).
14. Nate Danielson (Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: Penguins need a long term center option.  Danielson is the best two way center).
15. Brayden Yager (Nashville Predators) (Details: I can see Nashville grabbing Perreault too but Yager looks a complete player and able to slide in anywhere.).
16. Gabe Perreault (Calgary Flames) (Details: Calgary can't help but have players dip, hopefully they can bring out the best in Perreault and convince him to stay.).
17. Samuel Honzek (Detroit Red Wings from New York Islanders) (Details: Based on rumours).
18. Dmitri Simashev (Winnipeg Jets) (Details: Jets could go any direction.).
19. Andrew Cristall (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning) (Details: A dynamic player to play with Beddard.).
20. Eduard Sale (Seattle Kraken) (Details: I think Seattle likes Sale's upside to much to let him slip past them.).
21. Matthew Wood (Minnesota Wild) (Details: Same with Wood, Wild just take best player but I could see them in on But).
22. Daniil But (Philadelphia Flyers from Los Angeles Kings) (Details: A 6'5 dude who can move and score, A FUTURE NHL PLAYER).
23. Quentin Musty (New York Rangers) (Details: I can see the Rangers or Avalanche going after Musty,).
24. Calum Ritchie (Nashville Predators from Edmonton Oilers) (Details: You can never have too many  centers, and Nashville walking out of the first with Yager and Ritchie will allow them to take risks for the next few years on draft picks.).
25. Otto Stenberg (St. Louis Blues from Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: At this point I am tempted to go for Stenberg and Edstrom.   Put them on a line with Simon Robertson and watch them develop in the AHL to be ready to replace Schenn/Saad line).
26. Mikhail Gulyayev (San Jose Sharks from New Jersey Devils) (Details: Gulyayev needs time to bulk up, he will be ready when Michkov is).
27. Riley Heidt (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: Colorado is good enough that they can grab two high upside players with 27/31).
28. Oliver Bonk (Toronto Maple Leafs from Boston Bruins) (Details: Don't screw this up Toronto).
29. David Edstrom (St. Louis Blues from Dallas Stars) (Details: Steener will show these sweeds how to play 1000 games).
30. Tanner Molendyk (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: adding to a strength with high chance Molendyk lands in the top 4).
31. Ethan Gauthier (Colorado Avalanche from Florida Panthers) (Details: Gauthier and Heidt will be great adds to the Avalanche roster in three years).
32. Lukas Dragicevic (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: Vegas grabs an offensive weapon with hope they can iron out his defensive issues).
