1 | | - | | Though I do not believe Owen Power to be the best player in this draft class, Buffalo needs Defense, and he is undoubtedly the best defenseman in this draft class |
2 | | - | | I believe that Matthew Beniers is the best player in this draft class, he is the perfect fit for a team like Seattle, you always want to start off a new franchise with your star centerman and that is what Matthew Beniers will be to the Kraken |
3 | | - | | The Ducks need an Elite winger to grow with Trevor Zegras, at this spot I usually have them going with William Eklund but I figured I’d mix it up a bit and go with Dylan Guenther |
4 | | - | | I don’t think New Jersey really has to think about this, I think Brandt Clarke will make a case to be that 4th pick but it will end up being Luke Hughes, he satisfies their need of Defense, he also has great chemistry with his brother Jack |
5 | | - | | With Seth Jones wanting out of Columbus, I think it’s quite obvious they will take Brandt Clarke to hopefully fill in for him, Clarke is a great offensive defenseman but could definitely work on his defensive game |
6 | | - | | The Red Wings are in need of an Elite center prospect that can play behind Dylan Larkin, of the available guys, William Eklund is the best that will project as a Center in the NHL |
7 | | - | | The Sharks desperately need good Goaltending, with their current starter being Josef Korenar they are in an extreme need, Jesper Wallstedt is projected to be a Franchise goaltender so this will finally fix their goalie issue |
8 | | - | | The LA Kings have an amazing prospect pool, mainly consisting of forwards, it’s time they get that #1 defensive prospect and that will be Simon Edvinsson |
9 | | - | | Vancouver is in need of Defense, but there are no defensive prospects that are justifiable to take at pick 9 so I think the Canucks take the top forward available, that being Vancouver born Kent Johnson |
10 | | - | | Ottawa has a very strong prospect pool, so they will take just the best player available, that is definitely Mason McTavish |
11 | | - | | Choix au repêchage retiré |
12 | | - | | The Blackhawks are in need of secondary scoring in my opinion, i have them taking arguably the best goal-scorer of the draft, Chaz Lucius |
13 | | - | | in my opinion Calgary goes after the best player available, and i think that is Cole Sillinger |
14 | | - | | The Philadelphia Flyers are a good team that just had a bad season, I think that the team is developed enough to take a jump on a player, I have them taking my favourite prospect in the draft class, Matthew Coronato |
15 | | - | | I think the Stars could go many different directions with this pick, but I think they stick with the safe pick in Fabian Lysell |
16 | | - | | The Rangers have one of the best prospect pools in the NHL, their only weakness is centers, so i have them going with Aatu Raty, Raty is really a risk/reward pick, there is still a chance he fulfills his potential from last season, if he does he will be quite a steal |
17 | | - | | With Vladimir Tarasenko requesting a trade, the Blues should draft a RW to replace him, why not stick with the Russians and go with Nikita Chibrikov |
18 | | - | | Winnipeg needs defense, the best defenseman available in my opinion is Carson Lambos |
19 | | - | | Nashville could use some more center prospects, i have them taking Fedor Svechkov |
20 | | - | | Edmonton could go a few different ways with this pick, I think they take a player right from their backyard, that being Sebastian Cossa, who will hopefully be their Elite Goalie of the future |
21 | | - | | I think Boston could go very many different directions with this pick but I think they will go with the safe pick, that being Brennan Othmann |
22 | | - | | with the chance of Minnesota going after Jack Eichel, i think they just go after the best player available instead of a canter, that is Corson Ceulemans |
23 | | | | the Wings could go anywhere with this pick but i think they will go with Sasha Pastujov, i think he is so good, i am a really big fan of him |
24 | | - | | i think the Panthers should go for a winger, i think its a pretty easy pick with Xavier Bourgault |
25 | | | | Columbus is in extreme need of centers, in this scenario i have them taking Zach Bolduc |
26 | | | | Minnesota does still need centermen, so i think they gotta go with Francesco Pinelli |
27 | | - | | Carolina goes with an underrated guy, Simon Robertsson |
28 | | - | | Colorado just goes after the best player available, i think that is Logan Stankoven |
29 | | | | here the Devils probably just take the best player available and i think that is Samu Tuomaala |
30 | | - | | i think Vegas just goes for best player available, that is probably Stanislav Svozil |
31 | | - | | Montreal probably goes after a defenseman with the stuff that came out about Shea Weber possibly not playing again in the NHL, i think they probably go after one of my favourite players in this draft class, thet being Scott Morrow |
32 | | | | Columbus probably just goes after BPA here, that is either Olausson or Rosen, in this case i have them taking Isak Rosen |
