Lottery winners
1. Arizona Coyotes
2. San Jose Sharks
Round 1
1. Macklin Celebrini (Arizona Coyotes) (Details: new home = new leader).
2. Zeev Buium (San Jose Sharks) (Details: the best defender of this project in my humble opinion. excellent play under pressure, great gaming intelligence and fundamental skills. system-forming player).
3. Ivan Demidov (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: a flang forward who has great productivity, creativity and control skills would be a great complement to Bedard).
4. Artyom Levshunov (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: a balanced top-4 defender with a right-handed grip. what ducks need).
5. Cayden Lindstrom (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: lots of options at this point, but I believe the Blue Jackets won't be able to pass up this combination of size and skill.).
6. Zayne Parekh (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: the safest possible pick for Montreal's general manager. who's going to throw stones at him for taking a chance and drafting a right-handed defenseman with blazing offensive production?yes, there is a talented Austrian young man, but two are always better than one).
7. Cole Eiserman (Ottawa Senators) (Details: Yes, this is a very controversial choice. Yes, perhaps an elite defender is the best option at this stage. Yes, this player puts in minimal effort on his end of the court... but who will remember that if the best shooter in the draft is hidden there?).
8. Sam Dickinson (Seattle Kraken) (Details: for me personally, this is the safest choice on the entire project. guaranteed top 4 defenseman here for any team).
9. Carter Yakemchuk (Calgary Flames) (Details: I understand that you want to spend this choice on the son of a legend, but in the case of Calgary you can’t pass by Carter, you just can’t).
10. Anton Silayev (New Jersey Devils) (Details: a young talented team that already has a good set of young defenders. but hardly any of them can boast of such dimensions and defense skills. this guy plays against grown men and looks decent, don't underestimate this fact).
11. Berkly Catton (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: like the year before, Buffalo simply takes the best player that other clubs passed by.easy choice).
12. Beckett Sennecke (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: one of my favorite players in this draft. tremendous skater, magic hands, great size and IQ).
13. Konsta Helenius (Minnesota Wild) (Details: his crossovers are solid,  he’s an incredibly smart forward who gets himself in high danger areas of the offensive zone in order to create scoring opportunities, good defensive play, and he looks more ready for senior hockey than many others).
14. Tij Iginla (San Jose Sharks from Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: easy choice. if a striker with such attacking potential survives to this decision, then he should be taken).
15. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: no-risk pick, 2nd-3rd line player, possibly excelling in the power play.  he injects any line he plays on with energy and intensity. all he needs is time to develop).
16. Liam Greentree (Washington Capitals) (Details: I could write a lot of things, but I'm really just imagining them next to Leonard in the near future, and that would be a great combination.).
17. Terik Parascak (St. Louis Blues) (Details: many scouts underestimate this player, they are confused by his defensive play and a number of other playing qualities. but in my opinion they underestimate this player's ability to make his teammates better and generate his team's offense).
18. Trevor Connelly (New York Islanders) (Details: a very talented hockey player who managed to damage his non-hockey image. Difficult choice. but the risk at this stage of the project is more than appropriate).
19. Michael Hage (Vegas Golden Knights) (Details: by and large, it doesn’t matter who Vegas drafts in the first round, because in 2 years this player will no longer be on the team. but this guy really has significant potential if he gets better defensively).
20. Adam Jecho (Chicago Blackhawks from Tampa Bay Lightning) (Details: a large forward who is a natural goalscorer).
21. Adam Jiricek (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: the injury has significantly ruined this guy's life, but we shouldn't forget about the initial potential).
22. Igor Chernyshov (Nashville Predators) (Details: the next Nichushkin is here. why not?).
23. Sacha Boisvert (Toronto Maple Leafs) (Details: has good skating and size, should gain weight and improve his two-way game, more shooter than a combination forward).
24. Emil Hemming (Anaheim Ducks from Edmonton Oilers) (Details: he has good size and plays a nice all-around game.He’s got high-end  skill, a dangerous wrister on the power play).
25. Cole Beaudoin (Colorado Avalanche) (Details: An excellent two-way center who excels defensively. This is what Colorado needs at this point.).
26. Henry Mews (Ottawa Senators from Boston Bruins) (Details: the right-handed defensemanwith good vision and first pass).
27. Teddy Stiga (Calgary Flames from Vancouver Canucks) (Details: Quite an underrated player, brings organizational attacking ability from the flank, he loves corner battles).
28. Aron Kiviharju (Philadelphia Flyers from Florida Panthers) (Details: He makes up for his small size with elite footwork and truly good skating. also this young man is good under pressure, but definitely needs to pay attention to his physical development).
29. Andrew Basha (Montreal Canadiens from Winnipeg Jets) (Details: not a great player, but adapts well to his role, has good motor skills, is hard-working on defense, doesn't complicate the game with questionable decisions and is able to make his teammates better).
30. Ryder Ritchie (Carolina Hurricanes) (Details: a striker with an excellent set of attacking tools, good control of the tempo of the game, has high speed).
31. Cole Hutson (Dallas Stars) (Details: a high-end puck-moverwith high speed and smooth skatingand good aggression in the opposing half).
32. Jett Luchanko (New York Rangers) (Details: extremely smart player who understands his strengths and weaknesses).
