1Logo of the Ottawa Senators-Elite LW BPA
2Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Elite C to Replace Getzlaf and make a Byfield-Zegras 1-2 punch
3Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the San Jose SharksEverything Ottawa would love in a player and add elite skill to their forward group
4Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Mitch Marner like Winger with a flashy Nylander like game
5Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-Defenceman to play and learn from Drew Doughty. Need a defenceman
6Logo of the New Jersey Devils-Lack wingers to play with Hughes, Hischier, and Zajac. Palmieri is getting older and Wood/Bratt don't cut it. Pick the highest IQ player
7Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Marco Rossi can become everything they wanted out of Mittelsdat to trade him and give Cozens an eliter center to play with. Need offence on a team looking for an identity and immediate impact player
8Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-Need Snipers very badly and Caufield can't be the only one. Look at the Swedish sniper Holtz and can form a deadly Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Holtz 2nd line
9Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-Corey Crawford is alomost gone and Chicago has a weak goaltending shelf. Immediately jump on the Russian Goalie poised to be a number one
10Logo of the New Jersey DevilsLogo of the Arizona CoyotesPick a skating Hanifin like Defenceman to fix the weak Defence corps
11Logo of the Minnesota Wild-Replace Miko Koivu with an elite 2 way Finnish Center
12Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-Vancouver would love to draft the best Swedish winger and part ways with Boeser soon?
13Logo of the Nashville Predators-The elite young NCAA trained center could be a Nashville target as Johansen-Duchene are good for today. Have time to develop him and get him a position soon
14Logo of the Florida Panthers-Florida will be trading forwards to shed salary and Dadanov, Hoffman won't stay for long, draft what could be an elite Russian LW to play
15Logo of the Calgary Flames-Calgary is extremely weak with right-handed players and only have Lindholm so they jump on BPA RW Jack Quinn
16Logo of the New York Rangers-Ranger are loaded offensively with Kakko and Zibanejad, Panarin so they go for a defenceman that can fit their game and play big minutes in the future
17Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-Winnipeg Jets have been looking to draft a 2C for a while so they jump on the Bryan Little type Center Zary from the WHL
18Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the New York IslandersHendrix Lapierre is the riskiest piece to be drafted and has elite potential and ceiling, so the Sens don't mind throwing their pick as they hold many in this draft
19Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Jan Mysak is something Jurmo would love in the lineup with a swiss knife Czech LW on their roster their set at offence
20Logo of the Carolina HurricanesLogo of the Toronto Maple LeafsThe German winger boasts high ceiling and plays an amazing game, Carolina can use a player with his offence, skill and poise. They draft the German ready to make an impact on the team
21Logo of the New York RangersLogo of the Carolina HurricanesDawson Mercer falls in Rangers lap and they celebrate drafting an elite winger from the Q
22Logo of the Dallas Stars-Dallas is poised to host a great team and it seems a right-handed defenceman is on their radar as Barron is available.
23Logo of the Edmonton Oilers-Jarvis, a RW WHL winger has everything McDavid would want in a winger, reminds me of Cody Glass and is a BPA for an Oilers team struggling at wing
24Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights-After losing Brannstrom to the Sens, it seems Vegas doesn't have many defence prospects, so they go after a small Swedish LD that plays like Brannstrom and Vegas can take the risk on developing him
25Logo of the Minnesota WildLogo of the Pittsburgh PenguinsBorque is on the Wilds radar and just seems like something Minnesota would love to have on their roster, with bloodlines in the past and elite game, Wilds pick him
26Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-A year after drafting Cam York, the back end seems like something Philly can load up on so they go after a big defenceman that can make an immediate impact. Ghost can be gone soon so they go for the Left handed Guhle
27Logo of the Washington Capitals-The capitals will jump on an elite winger available in this years draft that although is small but everything that can work for the Caps. Nybeck is the skilled player in a team consisting of Ovi, Oshi, Vrana and Wilson on the wing
28Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the Tampa Bay LightningSan Jose sharks are desperate for forwards and Perrault is everything they can wish for with their late 1st, they jump on Perrault which is their BPA here
29Logo of the Colorado Avalanche-A unique player that has perfectly complemented talent with Shane Wright is something the Avs would love on their team. With a team loaded for the future, they go off the board for Chromiak a LW that may work with MacK
30Logo of the St. Louis Blues-The Blues are loaded for offence as they hit jackpots with Thomas, Sanford and other elite forwards. With an ageing Defence and maybe losing Petro they need a leader more than a player as a young LD they go for O'Rouke a Captain in the OHL Greyhounds
31Logo of the Anaheim DucksLogo of the Boston BruinsSkilled defenceman is something the Ducks need now after hitting on the lottery for Byfield, they go for Grans as the Right Defenceman that could just fit their team
ROUND 2TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
32Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Skilled defenceman is something the Wings need as well, they go for another Swede as the Right Defenceman that could just fit their team
33Logo of the Ottawa Senators-Sens jump on the drafting defencemen trend and draft a skilled D man of their own with Niemela over Cormier
34Logo of the San Jose Sharks-Sharks just drafted a forward and have Foerster falling into their laps, they go BPA and pick something that might turn into a steal
35Logo of the Los Angeles Kings-The Kings jump on a forward poised to make an impact on the NHL and drafted the German sitting in their laps
36Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-The Ducks just picked an elite C and a defenceman, so they go for something on the wing and draft Greig
37Logo of the Nashville PredatorsLogo of the New Jersey DevilsNashville would like to go Defenceman for their pick and get BPA Cormier in their lap as the new Girard
38Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Buffalo needs an identity and is struggling to move without it, they go for a big feisty LW with Tuch

40Logo of the Montreal CanadiensLogo of the Chicago BlackhawksFrench Kid Center, man I've been waiting for Liam Foudy's brother to go
41Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-Draft Pick ForfeitedKasper a small Finnish Center is a unique player the Coyotes are looking at off the board

44Logo of the Nashville Predators-Nashville goes Hirvonen as they are recognized in developing small players in Grimaldi and Arvy
45Logo of the Florida Panthers-Florida goes for a small yet elite player in Bordeleau
46Logo of the Calgary Flames-Calgary just seems to be the place Pytlik would enjoy developing at and a big 2-way center is something they can get after Bennet
47Logo of the Carolina HurricanesLogo of the New York RangersA big drop in Khusnutdinov but Carolina is loaded at having Russians that can turn into something amazing, after Svech and Peterka , they jump on him
48Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-Winnipeg needs Defence really bad and need to start drafting it, so they go for Villeneuve
49Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the New York IslandersCarter Savoie tore up the Alberta Junior Hockey League and showed he was playing way against talent far inferior to him. Scoring almost a goal per game pace with 53 goals in 54 games along with 99 points, Savoie showcased his powerful shot. The Ottawa Senators would be adding another skilled winger to their prospect pool which is much improved with the skilled Savoie
50Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the Columbus Blue JacketsSens go Finnish defenceman Viro after missing on Villeneuve, not a consolation prize
51Logo of the Toronto Maple Leafs-Leafs pick the Big Swede LW a potential steal for a team that picked Robertson 2nd round
52Logo of the Carolina Hurricanes-Carolina sure enjoys the date and picked Sweden's Neiderbach who just seems like Carolina thing after drafting an American, German and Russian
53Logo of the Ottawa SenatorsLogo of the Dallas StarsWith the last 2nd round pick in a busy day, they go after Russian Ponomaryov
54Logo of the Detroit Red WingsLogo of the Edmonton OilersShakir with an astonishing name, Detroit goes to load on D with their best D availble
55Logo of the Los Angeles KingsLogo of the Vegas Golden KnightsSam Colangelo an America RW and Kaliyev is dangerous with Drysdale on D
56Logo of the Chicago BlackhawksLogo of the Pittsburgh PenguinsChicago goes for a low risk elite Smilanic, who can be something big if developed right
57Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Philadelphia takes the American C and potentially the best Skater in this draft with Stranges from London
58Logo of the Detroit Red WingsLogo of the Washington CapitalsDetroit picks Neighbours who falls into their lap and will be amazing at wing in Yzerman's eyes
59Logo of the Tampa Bay Lightning-Sourdif is picked by Tampa as a BPA after low scouting but he will be good

I wouldn't hate this draft for the Wild, but I'm not a Lundell fan personally. Huge Bourque fan though, I'd love him at 25

I dont see why sharks would take either of Perrault or Foerester over Reichel or Khusdinov. Sharks dont usually fall into the pick CHLers too high trap as they scout euros well

I can tell you right now Flames have zero interest in drafting wingers, Quinn will probably be gone before their pick but they will grab a center, a RD or trade the pick. Winger's are the last thing the organization needs

True, but something about the Sharks make them seem like they will contend really soon, and Euro players playing on bigger ice or Russian players signed in the KHL won't appeal them. They don't look like a team that wants to spend time developing players as they have lost the impact Pavelski was making. Vlasic, Karlsson, Burns, Simek on D and Couture, Meier, Hertl, Kane, and LeBanc on offence it makes sense to grab CHLer Perrault and Foerster and add it to this top 6. Perrault and Foerster are very immediate impact players even though Reichel seems like a possibility. This year, the CHL looks to appeal the Sharks but who knows?

Considering the Flames have no right handed players, if Quinn is available they will jump on him. Not saying Gaudreau is gone, but you can never have enough wingers and it just seems Quinn is perfect. I believe they will draft a winger this year after drafting Thomson last year and Center Pelletier the year before. Schnieder, Zary, Holloway, Quinn, Mercer, Barron and Jarvis are all the possibilities
