RONDE 1 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
---|
1 | - | Montreal as the placeholder team because the draft was supposed to be there and I think they're likely to end up with this pick. | ||
2 | - | LA takes Byfield as Rob Blake has already said on 31 Thoughts: The Podcast, they've taken centres with their last 3 first round picks and are willing to do so again. | ||
3 | Ottawa takes the undersized scoring machine in Rossi, fulfils their need for a top centre prospect, he plays for Ottawa in the OHL, and centres are the position that teams reach on in the draft the most (Kotka, Hayton, etc). | |||
4 | - | Detroit ends up with the guy they were probably hoping to get with any pick other than 1st. | ||
5 | - | Ottawa rounds out the top 5 with the best defenceman of the draft, filling their need for a top 2 RHD, and completing their stacked D prospect pool | ||
6 | - | Anaheim ends up with my personal 3rd best player in the draft, who many NHL scouts don't seem to be high on. Trevor Zegras dropping to them last year proves their scouts don't fear smaller high skill players, which Raymond is. | ||
7 | - | Jersey takes an elite two-way sniper in Alexander Holtz, giving Jack Hughes the RW sniper player-type he excelled with in the USNTDP with Cole Caufield | ||
8 | - | Buffalo picks up another skilled forward in the top 10 in Cole Perfetti. Jake Sanderson is another prospect I could see Buffalo taking, but here I went with the Best Player Available | ||
9 | - | Chicago picks up the top goalie prospect in years in Askarov, filling their need for a stud prospect goalie to replace Crawford in a few years. (Montreal would have this pick if someone else wins 1st, in which I would have them selecting Jake Sanderson) | ||
10 | New Jersey picks up one of the most versatile and NHL ready players with Anton Lundell. Can play centre or winger and is a great all around player | |||
