1 | | - | | Franchise altering D. Constant comparisons to Pronger. Massive 6-6 and 215 lbs with agility, skating and skill. Easy choice. |
2 | | - | | Kraken’s first ever pick. Take BPA. Beniers has awesome upside and projects to be at least a second line C on the low side. Great skating and agility. |
3 | | - | | The Ducks were bottom of the NHL in goal scoring. Adding a legitimate top line RW who reminds me of Pastrnak to play with Zegras equals magic. That’s going to be a dangerous top line someday. |
4 | | - | | Hughes Bromance. Luke has high end offensive upside and the Devils definitely need to pad their blue line depth. |
5 | | - | | CBJ desperately needs C depth but there are not enough high end C’s to reach for here. Mason McTavish looks like a good fit but it’s too much of a reach. Brandt Clarke has been climbing the ranks this season. Looks like a lock to replace Seth Jones. |
6 | | - | | Hakkan Andersson (assuming he still works Detroit) strikes again. Simon Edvinsson has the size at 6-5 and 210 lbs to complement his skill and ability. Edvinsson and Seider make for a solid top pair for many years. |
7 | | - | | Eklund ourscored Lukas Raymond in the SHL. SJ will take BPA. |
8 | | - | | LA rebuild is looking good at F. No top end D left on the board. Arguably the BOA here LA will grab a franchise G. |
9 | | - | | Hometown boy comes home. Johnson has highlight reel skill in bunches and he will match up really well with Pettersson. |
10 | | - | | Pure sniper will lineup with Ottawa’s young group of F’s. |
11 | | - | | Choix au repêchage retiré |
12 | | - | | McTavish has climbed the draft boards after his performance at the U18s. He could slot in as a future #2C and can mentor behind Toews. |
13 | | - | | Flames severely lack top end RW in their lineup. Lysell would be a huge add for them here. |
14 | | - | | Captained Russia to a Silver Medal at the U18s. |
15 | | - | | Best player in the USHL. Top end speed and skill. |
16 | | - | | This pick is rumoured to be getting traded for a top six C. Otherwise the Rangers go with the best C available. |
17 | | - | | NHL bloodlines. One if the best players in the USHL. Will return to Medicine Hat next season. |
18 | | - | | Jets must had a great look at Lambos the last few years. Same building. |
19 | | - | | Nashville needs more goal scoring. Sasha has great speed on the flanks. |
20 | | - | | Oilers desperately need to fix their G situation. Cossa is a potential franchise G. 6-6 and 215 lbs. great stats and athleticism. |
21 | | - | | Ratÿ was ranked really high after his draft -1 year but struggled in the Liiga. Lots of potential there to be a two way C. Bruins can take their time with him. |
22 | | - | | Wild take an underrated LD here. Chayka played way down the lineup in Russia after the OHL season was cancelled. Great size, skill and mobility. |
23 | | | | Wings grab an offensive two way winger. |
24 | | - | | Florida needs to pad their D prospects. Corson had a solid U18s and lights up the AJHL and his committed to the NCAA. |
25 | | | | CBJ desperately needs C’s and Pinelli foils this void. Plays a solid two way game just the way Columbus likes it. |
26 | | | | Wild need skilled C’s to play with their elite wingers. |
27 | | - | | Carolina pick. Canes need to pad their RD prospect depth. |
28 | | | | Colorado pick. Avs pad their winger depth here. |
29 | | | | Montreal pick. Habs add pest with skill. |
30 | | - | | NJ pick. Devils get another highly skilled RW for Hughes or Hischier. |
31 | | - | | Columbus pick. CBJ takes a safe reliable LD who makes great zone exits. |
32 | | - | | Vegas goes off the board a bit and grabs skill. |
