Minnesota Pick #15
Raphaël Lavoie
He’s 6 feet 4 inches and 198 pound Center/Rightwinger he’s Right handed
He plays for the QMJHL for the Halifax Mooseheads

Buffalos Pick #18
Cole Caufield, RW (Right shot, 5'7", 157lbs)
Yes, you read that right, he's tiny but Caufield can be summed up by the word "silky". His offensive ability is extremely good and if he were 3 inches taller I think he could put up a good conversation to be a top 10 and maybe even top 5 pick. His release is the best I've seen in this class thus far, the guy can snipe goals with his lightning shot. His hands are extremely smooth and he often made defenseman and goaltenders look like fish out of water with how much they were flopping around trying to figure out where he was going to move the puck. I liked his playmaking ability as well he showed some nice offensive instincts and vision. I have my concerns about a guy as small as Caufield becoming an impact top 6 player, but guys like Gaudreau, Spurgeon, and Johnson have all proven that it's possible.

Minnesota’s Pick #45
Yaroslav Likhachyov RW (Right shot, 5'10", 168lbs)
Yaroslav is a right shot winger that is just barely eligible this year. He's also Russian and might find chemistry with or have a mentor in Kaprizov. He's a little undersized, but he has a lot of skill. His offensive vision is very good and he made some impressive passes in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup. He actually reminded me a little of Kaprizov with his playmaking and puck handling ability. I didn't get as much of a look at his shot as I wanted, but he seemed to have a very nice release. He made some plays in tight spaces which is something I like to see out of prospects since space comes at such a premium in the NHL. He was consistently able to get to the front of the net and either make passes to his teammates or rip the uck into the net. He's had a rough time in the QMJHL on a pretty bad team, both are noteworthy looking forward. As of now Likhachyov is the second highest on my list to watch for the Wild.
