RONDE 1 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
---|
1 | - | This is the easiest pick to make again. Kane was a franchise changer and helped the Hawks to 3 cups | ||
2 | - | Jamie Benn (+127 ) | An Art Ross trophy but declining a little- would love to see how he would've fit in with prime Giroux | |
3 | - | Max Pacioretty (+19 ) | Guy who would probably fit with the Coyotes perfectly- I always forget about him. Pacioretty is a really good goal-scorer and could help the 2012 "run" I guess- probably no though. Kind of a poverty franchise | |
4 | - | Ryan McDonagh (+8 ) | We originally drafted a bust and then a couple of steals- I honestly have no idea what the Kings do here. Could be playoff warrior Couture, or Muzzin due to not wanting to alter history, I say they look back and see how good McDonagh was in his prime and how he's still pretty solid to this day- they pick him here and probably still win multiple cups, maybe go for the 3-peat | |
5 | - | Logan Couture (+4 ) | Playoff Warrior- Maybe the Capitals don't choke as much with him as the 2C. Hopefully in this timeline he's less injury prone | |
6 | - | P.K. Subban (+37 ) | Pernell Karl would join the Oilers- they suck so it's best player available, but I don't like the fit, as their primes don't come close to lining up- maybe 2017. The pick is still Subban though because again- best player available | |
7 | - | This time, don't trade him for Jeff Carter. He's remarkably consistent and is the second leading scorer from this draft class- a bit of a steal here. | ||
8 | - | David Perron (+18 ) | Any pick is better than Zach Hamill- but Perron provides really solid depth scoring- something the Broonz have struggled with recently. Perron is a really consistent player and is still going strong today | |
9 | Jake Muzzin (+132 ) | The Sharks, angry that they no longer get their current captain, sit back and cry about their playoff failures like in 2014. Driven purely by spite about the reverse sweep, they take a pound of flesh from LA | ||
10 | - | Kevin Shattenkirk (+4 ) | Florida is boring AF. They took a D man in real life here, and now just take the bet Dman available | |
11 | - | James van Riemsdyk (-9 ) | Exciting scorer... sometimes. Maybe they can get out of mediocrity with JVR and Staal together | |
12 | - | Alec Martinez (+83 ) | Clutch af, the Habs add him for the 2014 run so he can score OT winners. This pains me greatly as a Kings fan | |
13 | Wayne Simmonds (+48 ) | Still some really solid players going at this point- a really solid PWF here for the Blues, who has over 500 career PTS | ||
14 | - | Alex Killorn (+63 ) | Someone who's good right now to aid with the cup aspirations- Killorn has been tearing it up this playoffs thus far | |
15 | Sam Gagner (-9 ) | I'm not going to lie- I have no idea what Sam Gagner did in his career, so i put him at the very middle of this draft. Fair? | ||
16 | Kyle Turris (-13 ) | Turris was an underrated beast with the Sens. He also perfectly fits the wild because nobody talks about him. | ||
17 | - | Mikael Backlund (+7 ) | Strong two-way centre to play in their middle six. Original pick didn't play a single NHL game | |
18 | Lars Eller (-5 ) | Blues already have Wayne Train. They add the most 3rd line centre you can think of in Lars Eller- or I guess they maintain him | ||
19 | Evgeni Dadonov (+52 ) | 2BC legend, if they can convince him to never leave the NHL they've got a steal on their hands | ||
20 | - | Justin Braun (+181 ) | Anything is better than Esposito here. Penguins add a solid Dman with over 700 games to his name | |
21 | Karl Alzner (-16 ) | 3rd first round pick for the Oilers and they draft someone who hopefully won't end up as an awful contract like in real life- Alzner | ||
22 | Carl Hagelin (+146 ) | Canadiens 2nd first round pick and they take someone who has been a really effective bottom sixer throughout his career- possibly helps the team in 2014 make a farther run even though they're missing PK | ||
23 | - | Ian Cole (-5 ) | We've kind of reached the point of "any pick is better than the one they actually made" (minus calgary and St. Louis). Insert defenceman here to add to their revolving factory | |
24 | Nick Bonino (+149 ) | Playoff warrior- not sure how that helps the Flames- but his name is fun to say | ||
25 | - | Brandon Sutter (-14 ) | Jim Benning creates a time machine and travels back to the 2007 draft just to ensure the Canucks select Brandon Sutter. | |
26 | Carl Gunnarsson (+168 ) | Carl Gunnarsson feels like he's had about 5 stints with both the Leafs and the Blues, alternating between the two. Won a Cup in his 5th stint with the team | ||
27 | - | Riley Nash (-6 ) | Most games played out of all available players | |
28 | Patrick Maroon (+133 ) | Get some Cup winning experience on the team. Back to back champ | ||
29 | - | Thomas Hickey (-25 ) | Maybe Ottawa can unlock something in Hickey that nobody else can. i doubt it but let's give it a go | |
30 | Dwight King (+79 ) | I'm just adding my favourite player left from the draft because he looks like a kids show villain in his NHL 21 photo |
