ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | Just became the 3rd highest paid defenseman in the league. He is really coming into his own as a top defender. | ||
2 | - | Brady Tkachuk (+2 ) | Brady has proven his worth both on and off the ice. Great power forward who can lead a team. He is a special player. | |
3 | - | Quinn Hughes (+4 ) | Another very talented defenseman, Hughes is a top pairing guy with immense skill. | |
4 | - | Andrei Svechnikov (-2 ) | Svech is an Elite offensive threat. He has an issue staying healthy as he plays on the physical side as well. | |
5 | - | Evan Bouchard (+5 ) | Bouchard would instantly improve the Coyote's blueline depth, he is starting to play like he was projected. He is a very high end two way defenseman. | |
6 | - | K'Andre Miller (+16 ) | Defensemen are coming off the board in waves here. Miller has proven he is a top 4 defenseman on a cup contending team and would solidify any blueline he plays on. | |
7 | - | Barrett Hayton (-2 ) | Hayton is starting to show why he was a pick that the Coyotes reached on. This past season was his best and he is looking like he has an opportunity to become a top 6 center. | |
8 | - | Noah Dobson (+4 ) | Dobson is another very good top 4 defenseman, this seems to be a trend in this draft and will most definitely continue. | |
9 | - | Joel Farabee (+5 ) | The rangers add a skilled offensive winger to their team right before they get two more promising younger players (that they screwed up developing). | |
10 | - | Jesperi Kotkaniemi (-7 ) | The Oilers take Kotkaniemi here, he has shown that he can be a legit middle 6 center and he would compliment the center depth of the oilers perfectly. | |
11 | - | Adam Boqvist (-3 ) | He has shown that he has a the ability to be good nhl defenseman but he has an issue keeping healthy for a full season. | |
12 | Oliver Wahlstrom (-1 ) | The Islanders still take Wahlstrom, he has insane offensive talent and just need more time to tap into his potential. Wahlstrom could end up being a solid top 9 forward on the Islanders. | ||
13 | - | Ryan McLeod (+27 ) | McLeod ends up in the top 15 in this draft, he is a good bottom 6 center who would be able to fill the needs of the Stars. | |
14 | Kirill Marchenko (+35 ) | Yes Marchenko has only played one season in the league. I really like what I saw out of him in his first season, if he continues that play he will be a great player. | ||
15 | - | Rasmus Sandin (+14 ) | This is starting to get difficult with the players remaining. Sandin was seen as a highly skilled defensive prospect and didnt really get a full chance with the leafs, he came to Washington and seemed to find another level, looks like a great defenseman. | |
16 | - | Mattias Samuelsson (+16 ) | After linking himself to a good deal in Buffalo, Samuelsson has seemingly become a solid nhl defenseman. | |
17 | - | Alexander Romanov (+21 ) | Romonov is a tough one to judge, he has played really well and was dealt for a high pick when traded to the Islanders, I believe he is very good but maybe not as good as a top 15 pick. | |
18 | - | Martin Fehérváry (+28 ) | The defensemen picks continue, Fehervary is an underrated defenseman who plays a solid two way game and can fit into any role in a teams d-core. | |
19 | - | Filip Zadina (-13 ) | Couple gambles coming up, Zadina was a top prospect in this draft but he has not lived up to his true potential, maybe the flyers take a swing on hitting on that potential. | |
20 | - | Sean Durzi (+32 ) | Randomly Durzi ends up on the team he most recently played for, he is a solid defenseman that has a lot to prove in Arizona this season. | |
21 | - | Nils Lundkvist (+7 ) | Lundkvist seems to be a good young defenseman but he was moved from the Rangers because they could not find a spot for him in the lineup He has a chance to grow into a solid top 4 defender on a good team but he still has some improving to do. | |
22 | Jakub Lauko (+55 ) | Lauko looked solid in his first season. Could potentially be a good middle sixer. | ||
23 | - | Vitali Kravtsov (-14 ) | The Ducks swing on potential much like the Flyers with Zadina. Kravtsov gets a chance to have better development in the Ducks organization. | |
24 | - | Ty Smith (-7 ) | Ty Smith looked good in his first season but has seemingly been regressing, if he can find his way back to the way he played his rookie year he would be a very solid pick here. | |
25 | Jacob Bernard-Docker (+1 ) | A prospect who has a lot to prove and is seen as a great developing defenseman but has taken a good bit of time to crack into the nhl | ||
26 | Calen Addison (+27 ) | Addison has shown he is a solid nhler but he lacks the d-zone presence that he would need to go higher in this draft. | ||
27 | Jan Jeník (+38 ) | We started to see what Jenik can bring to the nhl with the Coyotes this past season, he has some skill and is a good offensive player. | ||
28 | Jack McBain (+35 ) | McBain also looked good this past season, not putting up huge point totals by any means but played his role well. | ||
29 | Jordan Harris (+42 ) | Leafs needed a defenseman in this draft and Harris is being molded into a good nhl level defenseman. | ||
30 | Yegor Sharangovich (+111 ) | This might be a little low for Yegor, he has played a lot compared to most of the players from this draft, and he has far outlived his draft stock. A very good middle 6 forward. | ||
31 | - | Ty Dellandrea (-18 ) | This is a shot in the dark Dellandrea hasn't really lived up to his draft stock but he is developing positively, i don't know who belongs here. |
