| 1 |  | - | Who else? Alexis Lafrenière is the real deal and consensus best player available in the 2020 NHL Draft. He’s ready to join the New York Islanders now and will be playing in their top-six next season. Lafrenière’s skating is already explosive, he protects the puck and shoots very well, and has elite vision to boot. Simply put, Lafrenière is a cornerstone player that will make an immediate impact with the Islanders .Lafrenière is the best player in this draft class, and it seems very likely that he’ll step right into the NHL next season. He’s a dominant offensive force that will immediately make the Islanders better. Imagining Lafrenière and Matther Barzal together should make New York fans extremely excited. Lafrenière is the best player in this draft class, and it seems very likely that he’ll step right into the NHL next season. He’s a dominant offensive force that will immediately make the Islanders better. | |
| 2 |  | - | Tim Stützle creates a ton of offense and is the type of player I feel the Los Angeles Kings could really use, especially with the many goal-scoring threats coming up in the system. I see that his shot is not as lethal as some others, but he can still bury it.Heading into the draft, there’s no doubt that the Kings have the best prospect pool in the league. The Senators might challenge that now with Byfield and Drysdale, but the Kings landing Stützle is incredible. He’s an excellent playmaker, with great offensive awareness. He’s been used at centre and the wing, so it would be interesting to see how the Kings use him. With Alex Turcotte in the ranks, and I still think he can be a number one centreman, I’d likely say Stützle would move to the wing. | |
| 3 |  |  | With the third-overall pick, the Ottawa Senators pick Quinton Byfield. Although they miss out on the Lafrenière sweepstakes, they take home an excellent consolation prize. He’s big, powerful, can score goals, and already has a refined defensive game. He could likely find himself in the NHL next season, and along with Brady Tkachuk, the Senators’ top unit will be one to be reckoned with.Byfield is the only player in my mind that I could possibly see overtake Lafrenière for the number one spot (he won’t). He’s a dynamic player that brings speed, strength, and one of the best skillsets in this class. The Senators have a number of centres in their system, and a number of very good prospects. Byfield will be the best by a long shot. I don’t think he’ll make the jump to the NHL next season, but he’s not far off. Senators fans, you have your future number-one centreman.i | |
| 4 |  | - | ||
| 5 | | - | While some may see this pick as a reach, Ottawa can acquire the best D-man of the draft, immediately after selecting the draft’s best centre in Byfield. Jamie Drysdale’s skating ability is nothing short of elite. His agility and balance are incredible to watch, and he can instantly take over the game using this ability. Even more impressive is his hockey IQ. He is one of the most intelligent defensemen I have seen in years. This is going to help his transition to the NHL, as the decision-making skills are already there.There are two specific positions that NHL teams covet most: a number-one centreman and a number-one defenseman (especially right-handed ones). With this selection, the Senators have a chance for both from this draft. Drysdale has the skating ability, excellent vision, and the puck skills that you can really only dream of in a defender. Having him on your backend, along with Thomas Chabot and Erik Brännström? The points that this defensive unit could put up is terrifying. | |
| 6 |  | - | There is no question the Anaheim Ducks’ have a lot of needs when it comes to jump-starting their rebuild. There is a gaping hole on the right side of the defense, but the Senators scooped up Drysdale so scratch that until later. However, with some exceptionally talented forwards left on the board, it’s time to address another need: scoring. The Ducks’ finished 29th in goals per game this season and what better way to address that than by picking up arguably the best shooter in the entire draft.It was a tough decision between Alexander Holtz and Lucas Raymond, and personally I think there isn’t much of a difference between the two when it comes to the best player available. So, we went with the sniper. Holtz fits the mold of what general manager Bob Murray is looking for. At the Ducks Hot Stove event in March he said “We’ll be looking for shooters in the draft. Some of our guys just can’t shoot one-timers, boggles my mind”. It seems like a good fit to me. Also, how could we pass up a Trevor Zegras/Holtz combo. Let’s let that last line sink in for a minute. Your future is Zegras at centre, arguably the best playmaking prospect in the NHL right now, and Holtz on the wing, arguably the best shooter in this draft class. Would this be the second coming of Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry? That’s exciting. I wouldn’t say this is a best player available pick, but it addresses a huge need for the Ducks and he’s one of the best players left on the board. | |
| 7 |  | - | It was a bit of a surprise to see Raymond available outside the top five. Fortunately, it benefits the New Jersey Devils. He’s a dynamic winger who’s an absolute beast on the forecheck. He’s always chasing the puck and creating havoc for opposing defenders. And when he has puck possession in the offensive zone, he thrives on his playmaking and ability to set up scoring chances. His shot could use a bit of work, but it’s not a detriment. That should come with age, too, as he bulks up from 165 pounds. He’s arguably the best European prospect and perhaps a winger who can carry his own line in the NHL. So the Devils get themselves a steal with their first pick.Raymond is a top-three player in this draft in my eyes still, and the Devils jumping on him at six looks like our first steal of the draft (don’t worry, there are more coming). Last year, the Devils landed number-one pick Jack Hughes. Say what you will about his 2019-20 season, he’s elite. Now, you add an elite winger to that? Don’t worry Devils fans, it looks like your time is coming sooner rather than later. | |
| 8 |  | - | The Sabres would be thrilled to add the skilled Austrian with the seventh pick. Marco Rossi is a dynamic playmaker with a great shot but also plays with an edge. Don’t let his shorter stature fool you. He’s built like Sidney Crosby from the waist down. He is hard on the puck and cannot be knocked off easily. In addition to his elite offensive game, Rossi plays hard in the defensive zone and has a sound all-around presence while also playing on the edge like the much-beloved Brad Marchand. A natural centre, he may start on the wing in the NHL but has all the tools to be an excellent second-line centre. In addition, he will not be returning to the Ottawa 67’s next season and will either play in the NHL or overseas. Many pundits feel he can play in the NHL next season and make an impact.The Sabres don’t have the greatest prospect pool after 2019 first-rounder Dylan Cozens. Landing Rossi is an immediate upgrade to that system. It would be very interesting to see how they use him, as Jack Eichel is the undisputed number-one guy in Buffalo, so both Cozens and Rossi would fight for that number-two spot, but it’s likely that one slides to the wing – I’d assume Rossi. That being said, at number seven, this is a great pick, and will definitely be adding to Buffalo’s goal differential in the near future. | |
| 9 |  | - | Cole Perfetti is an excellent puck handler with great hockey IQ, compete level and skill. He was second in scoring in the OHL and had a tremendous Hlinka/Gretzky tourney. He was not only the BPA but he also fits a need for scoring on the top six for the Canadiens. We’re still dealing with elite prospects, and we’re almost out of the top-10. I’m not sure I’d take Perfetti over anyone above, yet this still feels like a steal. He needs to improve on his skating to really make an impact at the next level, but he has the potential to be something great. With him and Cole Caufield both earning the nickname “Goal,” this would be an exciting duo to watch. Perfetti also showed his elite playmaking ability this season, making that duo even more intriguing. | |
| 10 |  | - | Since the Montreal Canadiens drafted Carey Price fifth overall in 2005, no other goalie has been selected in the top 10, let alone the top five. There’s too much of a risk involved, as you’ll never know how goalie prospects will pan out. In the case of Askarov, he is worthy of being a top-10 pick. With an ageing Corey Crawford and his health concerns, there’s so much uncertainty surrounding the Blackhawks’ goaltending situation. Askarov will be their starter and the answer that this franchise needs. The soon to be 18-year-old has high-end vision, movements and reflexes, making the most difficult of saves look easy. He addresses a potential need, and that’s extremely difficult to find.As you see with many mock drafts out there, Askarov and the Blackhawks seem like a perfect match. Not only does Askarov become the top goaltending prospect, but he becomes the best prospect in the system and the top goaltending prospect in the league. The Blackhawks aren’t far removed from three Stanley Cups, and they’ve been stockpiling a few incredible prospects over the last couple of years. Askarov bolsters that in a big way. | |
| 11 | |  | The Devils don’t need a center. But with Askarov and Perfetti off the board, Lundell would be the best player available with the 11th pick. He spent this season with HIFK in the Liiga and had 28 points in 44 games. There’s nothing flashy about his game, but he excels at both ends of the ice. He’s an exceptional defender and has incredible hockey IQ. His offense may lag behind some of the other top prospects in this class. But he has enough offensive upside to be a very effective two-way, second-line center in the NHL. And that’d leave the Devils set down the middle for years to come with him, Jack Hughes, and Nico Hischier.So the Devils draft Raymond and now Lundell. Woah. This would be another interesting player to see how they’d fit him in with Hughes and Hischier as I don’t really see Lundell shifting to the wing and I think he’s better than a third-line centreman. Lundell is an excellent two-way player, and while he needs to improve his skating, I think he’s a very promising player. His vision and his skill at both ends of the ice is excellent. It’s always said that you should take the best player available in the draft, and Lundell’s it. | |
| 12 |  | - | This may be considered a “reach” at this point in the draft with health concerns surrounding Hendrix Lapierre’s future. However, prior to the injuries, he was essentially a lock to be a top-15 selection as he was just coming off a 45-point season and winning the QMJHL Offensive Rookie of the Year. This selection might not have been “Best Player Available”, but he might have the highest ceiling of almost any first-round pick. This is exactly the type of draft pick that the Wild need with aging veterans centers and low ceiling forwards on their team (outside of Kevin Fiala). This sets up the team nicely down the middle with highly touted prospects Kirill Kaprizov and Matthew Boldy waiting in the wings and ready to join the Wild within the next couple seasons. Our first reach of the draft! Or is it? I actually really like this pick for the Wild. Justin’s right in that I don’t think this is the best player available based on his history with concussions and the neck injury, but based on potential this is right on the nose. He put his skill on display in the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, and that’s the level he performs at when he’s healthy. He adds a ton of skill to the Wild’s prospect pool and if he can stay healthy, he might actually turn out to be a steal. | |
| 13 |  | - | Selecting Dylan Holloway at 13th overall was an easy decision. He is a big, two-way power forward that will bring grit and toughness to the lineup. He has drive, determination, and a willingness to play in the tough areas of the ice while retrieving pucks and driving the play. His ability to play both centre and left-wing will go a long way in the development of his NHL career and with his size, skating, and hands I do not see why Holloway could not become a top-six centre/winger for the Vancouver Canucksat some point down the road.Say what you will about Holloway’s season, this guy has something. He’s got the speed and skill to be a top-six guy in the NHL. Let’s not forget that the University of Wisconsin struggled as a team this season, the NCAA is one of the toughest leagues out there, and Holloway was one of the youngest players in the league. | |
| 14 |  | - | I won’t beat around the bush, Holloway was my go-to pick at 14th overall. However, with him going to the Canucks at 13, I had to pivot. Rodion Amirov is a close second to Holloway, and fills a big hole in the Predators prospect system. Just like Vitali Kravtsov in his draft year, Amirov dominated in the MHL and VHL but struggled to produce in the KHL’s regular season due to limited ice-time and inexperience. He’s shown plenty of promise, playing a 200-foot game despite his smaller frame. He’s poised with and without the puck, has excellent board play in all three zones, and is very elusive in tight spaces. With some development in his shot and acceleration, Amirov could become everything the Predators need in a two-way winger. It’ll be interesting to see what he can do that the KHL level next year.I really like this pick for the Predators. Amirov is a guy that honestly could go in the top 10, but likely won’t. He has the skill at both ends and joins a very good group that Nashville has been building up. The Predators are loaded up on skill at every position, and Amirov fits that perfectly. I could see him being one of the best two-way forwards to come out of this draft. | |
| 15 |  | - | The Florida Panthers have shown a willingness to swing for the fences with their first-round picks, and Noel Gunler is no exception. The supremely skilled yet polarizing forward is an excellent fit in Florida’s prospect pool. An infusion of high-end skill is much needed on the wings – after Grigori Denisenko and Owen Tippett, there is a glaring need for wingers in the organization. Gunler is the most skilled player available at this point and coupled with the organizational need, he’s a perfect fit for the Panthers. The Panthers draft a guy who has been ranked from the top-10 to the second round, but I think this is a great spot for Gunler. He’s a very offensive player, but don’t put too much weight into the rumours that he can’t defend – he can. He’s one of the best shooters in this class, yet brings a full arsenal to Florida here. This might just end up being a steal. | |
