Based on my own opinion
ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the New Jersey Devils-A++
2Logo of the New York Rangers-D
3Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-C- due to the fact that he didnt play much in CHI and when he did he wasnt great. Played better in Montreal
4Logo of the Colorado AvalancheLogo of the Ottawa SenatorsB decent numbers but cant stay healthy
5Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-D- injured all the time, needs to flourish this year as he is running out of time
6Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-A+
7Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-A

9Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-B+
10Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-C-
11Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Philadelphia FlyersD Has played some games but hasn't looked good enough to be any higher plus he is not consistent
12Logo of the Minnesota Wild-A-
13Logo of the Florida Panthers-B he is a great goalie just needs to figure it out up top
14Logo of the Philadelphia FlyersLogo of the Arizona CoyotesC+ or B-, Has shown flashes in the NHL of being a decent top 4 player but needs to find a permanent roll with the flyers
15Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-A
16Logo of the Colorado Avalanche-B
17Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights-B
18Logo of the Dallas Stars-C+ playoffs last year saved him, needs to get a permanent roll and stay consistent with it
19Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the Columbus Blue JacketsF
20Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-C needs to find a roll somewhere not in Winnipeg
21Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins-D- looks like an AHL lifer
22Logo of the Los Angeles KingsLogo of the Toronto Maple LeafsD- just has not developed into anything
23Logo of the New York Islanders-D
24Logo of the Nashville Predators-C+ has had some flashes in the NHL, needs to fill a permanent roll this year
25Logo of the Washington Capitals-C not a great player but needs a full season on WASH this year
26Logo of the Calgary Flames-B- has taken a bit to develop but he has nice AHL numbers and should have a full time roll on CAL this year
27Logo of the Tampa Bay Lightning-D I doubt he will get much of a shot at the NHL again
28Logo of the Carolina Hurricanes-F has yet to play a single NHL game and his AHL stats are not good
29Logo of the Anaheim DucksLogo of the San Jose SharksF i think he played 1 game in the NHL and his AHL stats are mid

Kakko was a great pick, they just can't develop. If it was just him I'd say bad luck, but him and Laf not panning out is telling.

Playing on the second line and Being a 2nd line winger are two different things IMO. His production and play style is very much that of a scoring 3rd liner. I think there's a lot of teams where his not in the top 6

Yeah that kind of reinforces what I'm saying. Really solid defensive winger with decent-to-mediocre offense. That's an ideal 3rd line winger on a competitive team.

With that said I think he'll find his scoring touch in the next couple years and will likely get to top 6 production, but it's just not there yet. If he develops a bit of a mean streak I could see him being a Mark Stone type player at his peak

If NYR could figure out how to develop a player him and laf would be good hahahaha. Tough to come into an already playoff team and crack the top 6 as a skilled forward but laf if he want back to the Q after his draft woulda had 200 points so where else could you really go

Exactly, he just needs to bring up his offensive production and he would be a great second liner

Kakko Dach and Z are prob too low. Zegras is a top 5 player in the draft, he prob deserves at least A-

No PP time
3rd line minutes
Easily the best player on that line. Put him with Mika and Panarin and just watch

They mentioned how his letter for Dach was biased on him in Chicago, if it were Montreal include then I would agree he is too low but they picked 3rd overall and got little to show for it. If Nazar turns into something it softens the blow, but still the potential star power they could have had was “wasted.”
