ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the San Jose Sharks-
2Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-I can' make a strong case for any player to be legimitely worth 2nd OA pick.
3Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-
4Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-
5Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-Dude is still playing with his cage instead of visor???
6Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-He failed to be a difference maker on his team, especially in the playoffs.
7Logo of the Ottawa Senators-
8Logo of the Calgary Flames-He's not trying to be a difference maker on his team.
9Logo of the Seattle Kraken-
10Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-
11Logo of the New Jersey Devils-
12Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Very average playoffs.
13Logo of the Washington Capitals-
14Logo of the Minnesota Wild-I've been watching each MHL playoffs game. To me at this point he doesn't look more than Lian Bichsel in 2022, for example. The offense just isn't there. On other occasion in 1st game of current series while on PP he broke his stick and threw it on a bench. Refs gave him game misconduct (without additional 2 or 5 minutes penalty). It was a moment shift and his team lost that game. Full-time KHL-er shouldn't do that.
15Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the Pittsburgh Penguins
16Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-He's heating up in Allsvenskan, but I doubt he has top-line potential in the NHL.

Theres a clear top 12. Then a few bubble guys and that's it. Id add Bednarik to this and sub out Gridin, Hage, Boisvert and arguably Letourneau, that's it.

Any team drafting in the second half should move out of the pick

It is and it gets thin quickly. I don't have a problem with Celebrini at no. 1 and if I would be GM I would expect decent value for picks in range around 8-12. But the rest is not on a level of average year.

Sure, you can slot in Bednarik, Parascak, Mews etc. I would also argue Letourneau, Brandsegg-Nygard and some other guys are 2nd rounders on average year. These guys at least have "something", nobody is completely average player. Letourneau is 6ft6 RC. Brandsegg-Nygard is successful in Allsvenskan. Boisvert is 6ft2 C who plays all-around NHL-style. Sennecke looks like year younger Calum Ritchie. Connelly is excellent skater. Gridin is good scorer at average NHL height (6ft1). Hage is 6ft1 RC from well respected Chicago Steel program.
It's not much, just something.
