1 | | - | | Power is the consensus first overall pick in this draft, he has a very high potential. If Buffalo trades Eichel before the draft, they could select Matthew Beniers with this pick. |
2 | | - | | BPA, Seattle is a new franchise and will build around a franchise player like Beniers. |
3 | | - | | Perfect fit, Anaheim needs a sniper and a winger, Guenther is both of these. He would slot in beside Zegras in the future and could be a great pairing. Another good pick would be Eklund but Bob Murray doesn't like selecting smaller players. |
4 | | - | | New Jersey could use a left handed defenseman as they are heavy on right handed defenseman. They would have two of the Hughes brothers on the same team But once again they could pick Eklund, just to keep him alongside of Alexander Holtz, they looked amazing playing with each other this season. |
5 | | - | | Columbus has a heavy need for centers and Eklund is the best center available. Eklund has very high potential but he is undersized. |
6 | | - | | Edvinsson is very inconsistent but he also has a very high upside. Edvinsson and Seider playing on a line together in the future would be amazing. |
7 | | - | | San Jose could use a goalie prospect, Wallstedt is very comparable to Carey Price. San Jose could go and pick Brandt Clarke but I believe they pick a Goalie with this pick. |
8 | | - | | LA needs a LW but there isn't a LW close enough to go off the board with an 8th overall pick, so they pick Clarke instead, he has high offensive ability and could be great with Los Angeles. |
9 | | - | | Kent Johnson is very similar to Elias Pettersson, it would be great to have Johnson mentored by Pettersson, Johnson has a great upside but has concerns about his skating. |
10 | | - | | Ottawa needs centers, Lucius could be a great pick if he stays healthy, he is a great sniper and could be amazing on a line with Braeden Tkachuk. |
11 | | - | | Choix au repêchage retiré |
12 | | - | | They could use a defenseman, this is off the board by a few picks but Ceulemans plays a good defensive game and Chicago could use that. |
13 | | - | | Calgary needs RW and goalie prospects, the reason I have them picking a RW instead is because they still have Markstrom signed for 6 more years. Lysell is inconsistent but could be a great pick. |
14 | | - | | I had Philly taking Olausson in my last mock draft but Olausson doesn't try hard enough and is also very inconsistent, instead I have them picking Chibrikov because of his high potential, it might take a few years to transition from Russia to the NHL but he is a great player. |
15 | | - | | McTavish could easily could higher in this draft but I think he falls to Dallas, Dallas would be happy picking McTavish at 15th overall. |
16 | | - | | No team needs for the Rangers, they take BPA easily. |
17 | | - | | Pastujov has a good upside to his game, with St. Louis having Tarasenko on the trade block, they could replace him with Pastujov. |
18 | | - | | Winnipeg needs defenseman, they don't have many good defense prospects other than Heinola. |
19 | | - | | Nahville needs wingers, Othmann is a great player and could be a great fit with Nashville. |
20 | | - | | Edmonton doesn't have goalie prospects, Cossa could easily go higher in this draft but I think falls down to Edmonton. |
21 | | - | | Robertsson would be a great pick here for Boston, they don't have many team needs so they could take any player here. |
22 | | - | | I've been very high on Tuomaala for a while, the Wild need RW and this could be the right pick for them. |
23 | | | | Detroit has already taken a defense with their 6th overall pick, they go a different route and take a center in Bolduc. |
24 | | - | | In 2019, Florida had taken Lundell with their first round pick, he is a Finnish born player and if Raty could become what he was last season, this could be a great pick and a great line in the future. |
25 | | | | Svozil is a great defense and I have Columbus taking a center at 5th overall, I would have them taking another center if the Seth Jones trade talks weren't happening. |
26 | | | | The Wild take another right winger as they need RW heavily, Olausson is falling a lot lately because he doesn't try. |
27 | | - | | L'Heureux could be a good pick, Carolina needs Left Wingers and L'Heureux could be that guy. |
28 | | - | | Colorado doesn't have any team needs, they take BPA, I would have them taking a goalie with this pick but there aren't any more goalie available at this pick. |
29 | | - | | Montreal could use more centers and I believe that Svechkov is the best center available. |
30 | | | | Poltapov is a great winger, New Jersey needs wingers and centers but I think they take a winger here. |
31 | | | | (Chicago pick) Chicago wants Coronato and I believe that Coronato could fall down to a late first and even early 2nd. |
32 | | - | | Vegas needs centers and Stankoven is a great pick for the 31st overall pick. |
