Description
I looked at 10 different draft rankings and then studied every teams needs. If a draft pick is traded, then the player selected may be different. I tried to be thorough of why each player is picked where. I think this draft will have a couple surprises. Every draft has them. I also tried to give some 2nd and 3rd choices for some of the later picks because that is much more open than the earlier picks.
RONDE 1ÉQUIPEORIGINALJOUEURDéTAILS
1Logo de Sabres de Buffalo-Obvious #1. Best player in the draft b a mile. This kid is going to be either one of the best defenseman in the nhl or the biggest bust (very very unlikely)
2Logo de Hurricanes de la Caroline-Canes GM said he is drafting Svechnikov. Unless this pick is traded (unlikely) Svechnikov will be a hurricane. He has so much speed and a greta shot. Passing him up will be an awful move.
3Logo de Canadiens de Montréal-Habs need help now, Tkachuk best NHL ready player in the draft. Passing up Zadina would be tough, but I think they get a greta player in Tkachuk. 1st big surprise of the draft.
4Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa-Ottawa looking for a great Dman. Karlsson 2.0... I think this is the biggest surprise in the draft. 2nd big surprise.
5Logo de Coyotes de l'Arizona-Coyotes Blessed. Or they get Tkachuk. Their pick is really dependent on Montreal's pick. Either way, Coyotes are in a great position.
6Logo de Red Wings de Detroit-Too good not to be true. Michigan kid that everyone thinks he is going to Detroit. He may be undersized, but today's NHL has many of them being very successful.
7Logo de Canucks de Vancouver-Canucks desperately need Dman. There is no way they take ANOTHER forward. Bouchard a great pick up for the Canucks.
8Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago-Elite Winger that is expected to fall to Chicago from most sources Ive looked at. (If I had to guess a second choice, Chicago and edmonton switch picks they draft)
9Logo de Rangers de New York-Rangers have lots of young forwards, but need a pickup in young dman. Dobson a great pickup for them
10Logo de Oilers d'Edmonton-Kotkaniemi is a center by heart. He is the best center in the draft. (If I had to guess a second choice, Chicago and edmonton switch picks they draft)
11Logo de Islanders de New York-Isles need help everywhere, going to pick BPA for 1 Fwd and 1 Dman. Veleno could be swapped for Hayton, but I think he would have more success in NY.
12Logo de Islanders de New YorkLogo de Flames de CalgaryIsles need help everywhere, going to pick BPA for 1 Fwd and 1 Dman. Ty Smith is one of the best dman and most underrated dman in this draft. He had a bad Prospects game which I think tanked his stocks a ton. Ty Smith will be a fantastic gift for the Islanders.
13Logo de Stars de Dallas-Stars grab 2nd best center in draft. A great fit for Dallas's system. Stars got a ton of LHD, a there is no reasonable RHD to pick at 13 (Merkley too risky, Wilde still to far off).
14Logo de Flyers de PhiladelphieLogo de Blues de St-LouisBPA - Farabee will grow into his frame and could be a great top 6 in the future for philly
15Logo de Panthers de la Floride-Panthers are quite deep, would not mind seeing them taking the risk on Merkley. Seems like high risk high reward for panthers. They are in a position to do that.
16Logo de Avalanche du Colorado-Wilde a great pick up for Avs, helps with their dman. Wilde can pan out to be a top 2 dman for the avs (with Barrie)
17Logo de Devils du New Jersey-With Hall and niko, the devils should focus on getting a solid dman. Again BPA dman (possible they get Wilde and Avs get Samuelsson)
18Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus-Stacked on young D, time for some help upfront. Denisenko a little risky, but would be a great pick up if he pans out well. I think the best fit for them would be Farabee, but I don't think he will be available.
19Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie-With their second pick, I can see them trying for a dman. Seems like the best option for them. Plus who can resist drafting a guy named Jett Woo? Also I expect this pick to be traded.
20Logo de Kings de Los Angeles-Biggest Sleeper in the Draft. LA makes the risk, but might be worth it for them. They could also pick Lundestrom, Thomas, or Bokk here
21Logo de Sharks de San Jose-Would be a great fit for San Jose. With Joe gone (most likely), Akil is the depth they will need in the future.
22Logo de Sénateurs d'OttawaLogo de Penguins de Pittsburgh1st pick got them the best dman in the draft, Now time to pick up a great forward. This kid is a speed demon, and can be a big name in Ottawa for years to come. They are looking for a center with their second pick. Lundestrom or Kurpari fit that for them.
23Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim-After losing Theodore, they need to replenish D depth, they pick up a dman. Anaheim would love this American, and Miller would love being in socal. Good fit. A little far, but this is the time in the draft where draft ranking is not as big a factor. These picks often fall to players the team loves. Miller is a very gritty and athletic player. A perfect style for Ducks hockey. If the ducks go with another option, I expect it to be Called Addison.
24Logo de Wild du Minnesota-Kid is very underrated german. 2nd biggest sleeper in the draft if you ask me. Wild could use some offense, and this german has amazing hands and great speed making him a deadly combo. If he works on his back checking a little bit, kids going to be a stud two way player.
25Logo de Maple Leafs de Toronto-This organization is stacked with young talent. They could use some more great defense tho. Addison is probably the best dman available. If he is not available, Sandin or or Alexeyev are the next bets I would put.
26Logo de Rangers de New YorkLogo de Bruins de BostonRangers could get a nice pick up with Noel, but could also get McLeoud, Kupari, or McLeod. (They should be looking for offense here)
27Logo de Blackhawks de ChicagoLogo de Predators de NashvilleHawks take dman here if they take a forward (Which they most likely will) at 8. Alexeyev fits the skilled style of Chicago.
28Logo de Rangers de New YorkLogo de Lightning de Tampa BayRangers arent letting Kupari slip through their fingers. The Rangers could use him as a future Top 6 Center they already have a ton of center depth, so I could see them bailing to Kaut or McIssac instead.
29Logo de Blues de St-LouisLogo de Jets de WinnipegLots of options for St. Louis. This pick can go a lot of ways for them. Martin Kaut Plan B. If they want a dman, McIssac or Sandin would be their plan C
30Logo de Red Wings de DetroitLogo de Golden Knights de VegasWashington needs to stock up on some dman. McIssac is a kid that I have seen all over the draft rankings. I dont think the Caps pass him up. I think they really want Alexeyev (they just love them russians), but I dont think he will be available.
31Logo de Capitals de Washington-Detriot rounds out the top 31 with Kaut. Really good RW that posses a ton of skill and I dont think he will be available at 33. Wings pick him up.

The Leafs need Defence, but they also need centres. Losing Boak, Plecs, and Moore to FA, if Kupari is still available at 25 I can't see them passing up on him. The Leafs have Rielly, Dermott, Zaitsev, and Liljegren in the system for defence whereas for Centres, the only have Matthews and Kadri (maybe Nylander gets moved to Centre). The Leafs might grab a defensemen, but in my opinion thy will take a centre.
