ROUND 1 | TEAM | ORIGINAL | PLAYER | DETAILS |
---|
1 | - | Macklin Celebrini | True Franchise player and, an easy pick for OTT. My Rank: 1 | |
2 | - | Artyom Levshunov | Torn between Lev and Demidov, but I think they go Lev, just by seeing how rare players like him have been in the last couple of drafts My Rank: 3 | |
3 | - | Sam Dickinson | In the very very early stages of a rebuild, so they will have plenty of picks to get another Franchise forward (Big shot at McKenna 2026), They have nothing at D though, and go maybe a bit high for this guy, but he's the type of guy that can be trusted for 15+ years and is a great safe pick for SJ My Rank: 9 | |
4 | - | Cayden Lindstrom | At this point, they need to hope they can get a RD in return for Zegras, cause they ain't filling much in that position. Lindstrom probably goes 2C longterm and McTavish on the wing My Rank: 5 | |
5 | - | Ivan Demidov | They could go in almost any direction, but with Lindstrom gone, they for talent My Rank: 2 | |
6 | - | Carter Yakemchuk | ARZ probably has an eye on Yakemchuk and take a shot at him My Rank: 12 | |
7 | - | Berkly Catton | MTL is left with many options, and go for a skilled, complete winger My Rank: 4 | |
8 | - | Anton Silayev | I have said before, SEA can start printing Buium Jerseys, but if Silayev is available, then they will need to change their plan My Rank: 7 | |
9 | - | Zayne Parekh | They lack RDs, and have solid defensively reliable LDs, so Parekh makes sense My Rank: 8 | |
10 | - | Tij Iginla | Might be leaving a bit of ceiling on the table, but cmon, it has to happen My Rank: 11 | |
11 | - | Cole Eiserman | Sniper LW, with a good frame, if this guy is available for NJ, it seems like a perfect fit My Rank: 6 | |
12 | Trevor Connelly | SJ takes a forward here, and takes the best ceiling available My Rank: 15 | ||
13 | - | Zeev Buium | NYI, getting more Defense, seems like a fit. Although they don't help their offense here, it remains a solid pick My Rank: 10 | |
14 | - | Michael Brandsegg Nygard | DET and MBN, just seems like he has a spot waiting for him. He will be the perfect 2RW for them My Rank: 16 | |
15 | - | Konsta Helenius | MIN would have liked a LD, but they get great potential with Helenius My Ranked: 13 | |
16 | - | Charlie Elick | Unfortunately, they might have to go reach a bit if they want a worth pick. Elick will still be very solid, and in a couple years, will look like a very reasonable pick My Rank: 25 | |
17 | Dean Letourneau | They have a bunch of talent available for the attack and go for a bit of an obscure pick, who could project to be a dominant 1C My Rank: 29 | ||
18 | - | Cole Hutson | They need to start building that D a bit more. Although some may see it as a reach, GMs will see what his brother is doing, and may put less thought on the size My Rank: 24 | |
19 | Liam Greentree | Somehow a power forward winger slides, and LA are very happy they grabbed him My Rank: 14 | ||
20 | - | Sacha Boisvert | Probably will be traded within the next 2 deadlines, but they really shouldn't trade this guy, who could be a high-end 2C My Rank: 17 | |
21 | - | Kamil Bednarik | Similar value pick to Boisvert, maybe a little less ceiling, but great pick My Rank: 21 | |
22 | Igor Chernyshov | Only makes sense to go for a forward, and since they skipped on a Russian, they will go for a Russian here My Rank: 18 | ||
23 | - | Teddy Stiga | MTL goes for potential, getting a high end ceiling player, who could battle out a top 6 spot if development is good My Rank: 28 | |
24 | Ryder Ritchie | Bit of a struggling player, who may pop off next year My Rank: 33 | ||
25 | Adam Jiricek | ANA can finally add to that RD. He may not have a great ceiling, but should be in the NHL for a good bit My Rank: 26 | ||
26 | Nikita Artamonov | PHI may end up getting a steal, with Artamonov falling a lot. Has top line potential My Rank: 20 | ||
27 | - | Terik Parascak | CAR loves getting sneaky good picks, and this is no exception My Rank: 22 | |
28 | Aron Kiviharju | They are a team that can take risks, and they will take a huge one here, taking the former best player in the draft. Some may say its a reach, but potential is potential My Rank: 45 | ||
29 | Henry Mews | After getting Celebrini, they target a D My Rank: 31 | ||
30 | - | Emil Hemming | Huge steal for CGY, they get a good ceiling player, and fits the CGY system My Rank: 19 | |
31 | Yegor Surin | DAL gets a poorly scouted, but high potential forward My Rank: 44 | ||
32 | - | Matvei Gridin | Gonna be a reliable middle 6 guy My Rank: 23 |
