RONDE 1 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
---|
1 | I don't think Colorado would change their pick here. | |||
2 | - | Florida probably wouldn't change their pick either. Top two stay the same. | ||
3 | - | Shea Theodore (+23 ) | Tampa would end up trading Drouin for Sergachev. Lets just shorten and upgrade the process. | |
4 | - | Elias Lindholm (+1 ) | Preds traded Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen who was supposed to be a #1 Center. Elias Lindholm can be that player instead. | |
5 | - | Jake Guentzel (+72 ) | Elias Lindholm was traded for Dougie Hamilton, Adam Fox, and Micheal Ferland. In this draft, they take Guentzel and get out of their rebuild faster. | |
6 | - | Bo Horvat (+3 ) | Calgary selected Sean Monahan here. Bo Horvat is a better overall #2 Center than Monahan. | |
7 | - | Ryan Pulock (+8 ) | Oilers are in need of a D. While Darnell Nurse is a good defenseman, I think Pulock is better by a good bit. This also gets rid of the reason to get Tyson Barrie last season. | |
8 | - | Brett Pesce (+58 ) | Instead of drafting the trash heap known as Ristolainen, Sabres upgrade and pick Pesce. | |
9 | Seth Jones (-5 ) | Although they did not draft one, the Canucks were in need of a RD. Seth Jones fulfills that. | ||
10 | - | Oliver Bjorkstrand (+79 ) | Stars pick Bjorkstrand here, who is an upgrade over Nichushkin and isthe player who would fill in for Radulov instead. | |
11 | - | Joshua Morrissey (+2 ) | Morin hasn't done much in Philly. Josh Morrisey is a considerable upgrade. | |
12 | - | Jonathan Drouin (-9 ) | Most Arizona draft picks don't stay in Arizona. But assuming that this one dies, Drouin is best available forward. | |
13 | - | Darnell Nurse (-6 ) | With Morrisey off the board, Jets select Darnell Nurse instead. | |
14 | - | MacKenzie Weegar (+192 ) | Jackets eliminate the need for getting Seth Jones by drafting MacKenzie Weegar instead. | |
15 | - | Anthony Mantha (+5 ) | No Pulock available, but Mantha becomes the need goal scorer for the soon to be drafted Mat Barzal. | |
16 | Tyler Bertuzzi (+42 ) | Instead of 2nd defender, Buffalo selects Tyler Bertuzzi instead. | ||
17 | - | Sean Monahan (-11 ) | The top players now off the board, Ottawa settles with Sean Monahan. | |
18 | Nikita Zadorov (-2 ) | Mirco Mueller was a bust. Best defenseman available is Zadorov. | ||
19 | André Burakovsky (+4 ) | Rychel another bust. Burakovsky fixes that immediately. | ||
20 | Pavel Buchnevich (+55 ) | Best forward available is Pavel Buchnevich | ||
21 | - | Carter Verhaeghe (+61 ) | Carter Verhaeghe is a late bloomer and plays on a cheap contract for the future Leafs. | |
22 | Anthony Duclair (+58 ) | Poirer is a bust, Duclair is an upgrade. | ||
23 | - | Max Domi (-11 ) | Domi best forward available. | |
24 | - | Andrew Copp (+80 ) | Copp becomes a middle six forward Vancouver desperately needs. | |
25 | - | Alexander Wennberg (-11 ) | Wennberg best forward available. | |
26 | - | Ryan Graves (+84 ) | Ducks pick Graves instead of Theodore, leading to Vegas picking Graves. | |
27 | Juuse Saros (+72 ) | Columbus' third pick of the round is their future goalie. Jackets fans confused as Bobrovsky just won the Vezina. | ||
28 | Zachary Sanford (+33 ) | Sanford best forward available. | ||
29 | Valeri Nichushkin (-19 ) | Nichushkin best forward available. | ||
30 | - | Tristan Jarry (+14 ) | Blackhawks pick Crawford's successor. |
