DRAFT

TEXT-EMBED

Round 1
0. Macklin Celebrini (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: SJS, C

Gotta say this first. NOT A BIG BOARD. And I could be wrong for all of these, probably most. But this isn't predictable and I tried to find some players who I think could rise and drop a lot. I don't think Dickinson actually will but he did here. Because for him, where would he go? CBJ has a lot of defenseman, ARZ took Simashev last season, OTT needs RHD, MTL is taking Catton or Lindstrom, Seattle maybe? Then Helenius drops. I have NYI taking Buium since they don't need the physical defenseman. Buffalo just traded for Byram.

Not saying this will happen but the shoe needs to fit and while he could be a top 6-7 player, he could drop, as cold any of these guys.).
0. Ivan Demidov (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: ANA, RW (move up one in lottery)).
0. Artyom Levshunov (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: CHI, RD (drop down one in lottery)).

0. Zayne Parekh (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: OTT, RD (going for need rather than BPA)).
0. Berkly Catton (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: MTL, C (boring but hes slightly better than Lindstrom IMO)).

0. Zeev Buium (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: TRADE
NYI via CGY, LD

9OVR for 13OVR, Oliver Wahlstrom, 2025 3rd Round Pick (via NYI)).
0. Cayden Lindstrom (St. Louis Blues) (Details: BUF, LW/C).
0. Sam Dickinson (Vancouver Canucks) (Details: SJS via PIT, LD (massive steal but whoever goes in the 11-13 range will likely be great value, someone is gonna drop)).

Also forgot to say for the CGY-NYI trade, I see one happening in the top 15. NYI makes the most sense and Calgary is taking Iginla and he will be available at 13. Maybe its a 2nd instead of a 3rd but the framework is fine IMO. I think the price to move up is normally only a few 2nd or 3rd rounders if the gap between prospects isn't much. This isn't like jumping 8 to 4th, the 8 to 16 range will all be similar prospect considering there will be a reach or two in the top 16

I think montreal will trade their late 1st for a player in the show that still young but maybe hasn't met the expectations yet.
Like they did the past two years by getting Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook.

Im guessing maybe a guy like Kent Johnson could be their target, but I don't know if Columbus will be down for it ?

This would be quite a shocking result. A 20-year-old drafted in the 1st round and an over-ager drafted in the top 20 would be neat.

To me, watching Romani he plays like he was a first rounder last season. If he doesn't go top 32 id be shocked. Becher is more of a reach for sure but we always see that in the late first. Not necessarily DY+2s but reaches, so I wanted to be bold. I also got Nabokov as my #1 goalie and going in the 50s lol.

The Blues will not be taking a small forward. Bet the farm on that.

Makes sense; it's a great year for over-agers, so it'll be interesting to see where they all end up! I like Pulkkinen and Vuollet as well, though Vuollet is more of a late 2nd to 3rd guy imo.
