ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | Macklin Celebrini | CHI pick. Solid player, consensus #1. Will make a fun 1-2 punch with Bedard. | |
2 | - | Artyom Levshunov | SJS pick. Doesn't make sense for them to pass on Lev when they have literally nobody on defense other than Mukh and maybe Thrun | |
3 | - | Ivan Demidov | ANA pick. One could imagine them reaching for a defenseman, but I don't think that makes sense when adding Demidov to a top-six that could have McTavish, Carlsson, and maybe Zegras would be FUN to watch. | |
4 | - | Cayden Lindstrom | CBJ pick. Don't see them passing on a forward at this position, especially a big one. | |
5 | - | Zayne Parekh | ARZ pick. They've been desperate for defensemen recently, and their right side is thinner than paper. Parekh is a reach by 1-2 spots which is acceptable. | |
6 | - | Cole Eiserman | MTL pick. This is probably the best place for Eiserman to work on his defensive game and become a player like Caufield - lethal shot, average defense. | |
7 | - | Konsta Helenius | NYI pick. OTT trades pick 7 to NYI for pick 11, a 2nd, and a 3rd. Islanders could use some young offense here, so they take a safe forward. | |
8 | - | Anton Silayev | BUF pick. Gotta think they can try to bet on upside with the depth of their prospect pool, and they have to leverage the fact that Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson can all play RD. (its sad that not everyone in that pool will pan out to their full potential) | |
9 | - | Zeev Buium | MIN pick. They could use a defenseman because of their aging D-core and not-so-great prospect pool. | |
10 | - | Carter Yakemchuk | SEA pick. Their defense is old and mid, would do well reaching for a defenseman. | |
11 | - | Tij Iginla | CGY pick. Do I have to explain this? | |
12 | Adam Jiricek | OTT pick. Originally I had them taking Yakemchuk here as a defenseman pick, but he's off the board, so we take another defenseman. | ||
13 | - | Berkly Catton | STL pick. The defense is in trouble, but there are players who are too talented on offense to pass up. | |
14 | - | Michael BrandseggNygard | MTL pick. The Devils trade pick 14 to MTL for Sean Farrell, Jan Mysak, Oliver Kapanen, and pick 31. It would be hilarious if the Habs got this guy after making the right pick at 6 | |
15 | - | Trevor Connelly | WSH pick. They need some offense, so they have to pick a forward here. | |
16 | - | Nikita Artamonov | VGK pick. SJS trades pick 16 to VGK for Nicolas Hague and pick 22 | |
17 | Liam Greentree | CHI pick | ||
18 | - | Sacha Boisvert | NSH pick | |
19 | Igor Chernyshov | PHI pick | ||
20 | - | Leon Muggli | TOR pick. TOR trades Nicholas Robertson and pick 32 to LAK for pick 20 and Carl Grundstrom | |
21 | - | Ryder Ritchie | DET pick | |
22 | Aron Kiviharju | SJS pick | ||
23 | - | Emil Hemming | COL pick | |
24 | Henry Mews | EDM pick | ||
25 | Cole Hutson | CAR pick | ||
26 | Ryder Ritchie | DAL pick | ||
27 | - | Andrew Basha | OTT pick | |
28 | Terik Parascak | CGY pick | ||
29 | Matvei Shuravin | NYR pick | ||
30 | - | Beckett Sennecke | NJD pick | |
31 | Charlie Elick | PHI pick | ||
32 | - | Leo Sahlin Wallenius | LAK pick |
