I didn't select the lottery, but also didn't use the first lottery.
Gagnants de la loterie:

  2. Logo de Sabres de BuffaloSabres de Buffalo
  3. Logo de Canadiens de MontréalCanadiens de Montréal
RONDE 1ÉQUIPEORIGINALJOUEURDéTAILS
1Logo de Islanders de New York-The obvious first pick is Rasmus Dahlin. Hes a talented dman and will benefit the islanders defensive core greatly. He is projected to be a Top D-man within his first few seasons and maybe even a franchise player, something the Isles will need if Tavares is leaving.
2Logo de Sabres de Buffalo-To fill the gap Evander Kane left on the wing, young Andrei Svechnikov would be a nice fit on same line as Eichel in the near future.
3Logo de Canadiens de Montréal-Montreal is in desperate need of a solid 1c, and in my opinion Brady Tkachuk is shaping up to be just that. It'd be a shame if Montreal passed up on Tkachuk with this pick.
4Logo de Coyotes de l'Arizona-A nice defensive prospect, the Coyotes need to thicken up their defensive prospects to play alongside Chychurin and Ekman-Larsson.
5Logo de Canucks de Vancouver-A solid winger for the Canucks, in due time I believe Zadina will replace the gap left by the near retirement of the Sedin twins.
6Logo de Red Wings de Detroit-Wahlstrom was my first pick for Detroit, but I think that'd be a shame because Zetterberg's replacement is already in the town, the one and only Dylan Larkin is a solid 1c of the future. So, I thought to thicken up Detroit's aging defensive core, Hughes would be the pick for Detroit.
7Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa-The Sens already have a great D-core, but with the lack of Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad leaves a hole on the 2c position, something Wahlstrom would fit into nicely.
8Logo de Oilers d'Edmonton-Being that Darnell Nurse hasn't quite panned out yet, I think that the Oilers need another D-man to play alongside Larsson, and without Dahlin that would be Ty Smith, a young and promising Top 4 defenseman.
9Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago-Farabee may be something in the future, and a bonafied winger is needed on the second and third lines. Saad and Kane cant carry an entire team forever.
10Logo de Rangers de New York-With the loss of some of the key pieces of the Rangers defense, I think their chips would be on Ryan Merkley panning out. The center position is already locked up tight for the Rangers, and I doubt they'd need another piece to their machine when it comes to the middle.
11Logo de Hurricanes de la Caroline-Jordan Staal is a solid 2c, but having him on the 1st line is not a good idea. With some luck and good development, you could see Rasmus Kupari sprout into a fine looking 2c or even 1c.
12Logo de Panthers de la Floride-Akil Thomas is a young center who might be able to be that solid 2c that the Panthers will need in the future. If not, he's definetly a bonafied 3c.
13Logo de Flyers de PhiladelphieLogo de Blues de St-LouisThe up-and-coming Ivan Provorov will need a defensive partner in the future. I think McIsaac will fill that gap once some of those veterans start retiring or leaving Philly.
14Logo de Islanders de New YorkLogo de Flames de CalgaryThough the center position is locked tight by Tavares, how long will he be there? With the second 1st round pick of the Islanders, i'd take Veleno. If Garth Snow learns to properly develop players, Veleno could possibly take the 2c spot from Barzal after he's taken the 1c spot from Tavares.
15Logo de Devils du New Jersey-The Devils have a great offense, but their defense is lacking outside of Damon Severson. To bolster their defense they need a solid prospect, and I'm thinking that without Larsson, Noah Dobson could take the place of that young prospect.
16Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus-With the Johansen-Jones trade from a while back, the Jackets are looking for a 2c or 3c to help out Wennberg and Dubinsky, a place where Lundestrom would slide into nicely.
17Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie-I think that the Flyers would dare to take a chance on Noel Serron, the young winger is huge and would compliment Patrick nicely if they both grow into what they're hyped up to be.
18Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim-The Ducks D-core is both lacking and aging, so I think that Addison would make a great place into the Ducks lineup.
19Logo de Stars de Dallas-Spezza and Seguin are both good, but starting to get a little old. Seguins got more than a few years left in him, but Spezza is already getting to that age. McLeod could possibly slot into their lineup at a 2c or 3c.
20Logo de Avalanche du Colorado-The Avalanche need to fill some holes in their D-core, and Jett Woo would be a good pick for them.
21Logo de Kings de Los Angeles-If he doesn't turn out to be another Grigorenko, Denisenko could possibly slot in as a nice second line winger or 3rd line winger if things are desperate.
22Logo de Sénateurs d'OttawaLogo de Penguins de PittsburghThe Senators are STILL in the same dillema as previously, and so Hayton would be a nice 3c for them.
23Logo de Sharks de San Jose-If the Sharks want defensive prospects, they'll have a nice steal handed to them in Samuelsson. I think he can be a great D-man, and possibly even an Oliver Ekman-Larsson style player if they get lucky.
24Logo de Wild du Minnesota-Kotkaniemi is definetly a chance, but I feel like he's a chance that the Wild would be willing to take with Parise beginning to fall off of the map, and Koivu old and starting to get washed up.
25Logo de Capitals de Washington-To fill in some empty holes left by soon to be retired D-men on the Capitals, Bode Wilde could be a nice top 4 or top 6 D-man.
26Logo de Maple Leafs de Toronto-The Maple Leafs have Matthews as their 1c, but once Bozak and them leave, they need a 2c replacement. That's where Groulx comes in.
27Logo de Blues de St-LouisLogo de Jets de WinnipegOlofsson would slot onto the Blues roster nicely, complimenting their D-core greatly.
28Logo de Red Wings de DetroitLogo de Golden Knights de VegasThe Red Wings have historically drafted nicely, and i've got a feeling that McBain will be a nice steal in hindsight.
29Logo de Rangers de New YorkLogo de Bruins de BostonThe Rangers need defensive prospects with the departure of a lot of their D-core, and the rest of it aging.
30Logo de Rangers de New YorkLogo de Lightning de Tampa BayNot to mention the emptiness of the wing without Rick Nash. These two pieces could compliment the rebuild nicely.
31Logo de Blackhawks de ChicagoLogo de Predators de NashvilleA big, tough hitting defenseman. Something the Blackhawks could never pass up.

I think on the off chance that the Isles draft Dahlin, Tavares would take a second look at staying with the Isles. Adding young Top 4 defenseman at the cost of virtually zero assets and effectively no cap space would give the Isles a lot of room to sign a big name free agent. Imagine if NYI drafts Dahlin and Veleno, then goes on to pick up Carlson in Free Agency? If I were Tavares in the midst of all that happening, I’d stay with NYI.

That said, the Isles will almost certainly not get any of the top 3 picks, so all my previous speculation is moot.

From a Flyer's fan:
If Veleno, Dobson, and Lundestrom were below McIsaac, I'd take any one of those three first. Dobson will probably go higher than we pick; however, he's a RHD which we severely lack and puts up great points. We also could use a legit 3C: 1C and 2C are locked up between Patrick and Couturier, but our prospects are still just prospects; Frost is a stud, but he's undersized, so he could move to the wing, and Rubstov/Laberge are both underperforming. Veleno and Lundestrom seem like smart players suited for 2/3C duties. As for Noel, we already have Isaac Ratcliffe, a hulking power-forward like Noel in our system. I'd rather go for Woo or Denisenko.
