RONDE 1 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
---|
1 | - | Buffalo is in rebuild mode, they take best player available rather than address a team need. | ||
2 | - | Seattle hasn't played a single NHL game, they also go with best player available rather than address a team need. Technically they are as they lack center depth without Beniers. | ||
3 | - | I kinda saw it coming for two reasons. I've seen comparisons to Ryan Getzlaf and McTavish is a goal-scoring center. I did consider Guenther but centers have more value than wingers. | ||
4 | - | I, along with everyone could see this coming. Luke and Jack reunite. | ||
5 | - | William Eklund (+2 ) | I feel like the Blue Jackets should have taken Eklund. Size doesn't matter. Johnson may be scoring some highlight-reel goals but he lacks defense and doesn't have great skating ability. | |
6 | - | Before the Nedeljkovic trade, I thought that the Red Wings would take Wallstedt. But with Nedeljkovic being such a young goalie, that wasn't the case anymore. Instead I did think that Yzerman would go for Edvinsson, he could form a dangerous pairing alongside Seider. | ||
7 | - | Kent Johnson (-2 ) | After hearing that both LaBanc and Meier were in trade talks, I knew the Sharks would go with a forward. I had them taking Johnson here. | |
8 | - | Jesper Wallstedt (+12 ) | With Petersen being a reliable backup and Quick not getting any younger, I had the Kings taking Wallstedt. They had everything but a elite goalie prospect like Wallstedt. | |
9 | Arizona would have two options here. They could have drafted Clarke, who could replace Ekman-Larsson. Or draft Guenther, to replace their goal-scorer in Garland. I picked Guenther because even with Garland, Arizona was struggling to score goals. Kessel also being in trade talks was another reason for Arizona picking Guenther. | |||
10 | - | Brandt Clarke (-2 ) | I do not agree with what Ottawa did here by selecting Boucher. Here I have them selecting Clarke. | |
11 | - | Choix au repêchage retiré | ||
12 | Corson Ceulemans (+13 ) | I had the Blue Jackets selecting Ceulemans with this selection. | ||
13 | - | Cole Sillinger (-1 ) | I initially had Calgary selecting Sillinger. Coronato is also a good selection but Sillinger has a higher ceiling. | |
14 | Fabian Lysell (+7 ) | I knew Lysell would fall in the draft because of his attitute. I didn't think he would fall past 10th. Easy pick for Buffalo here. | ||
15 | Chaz Lucius (+3 ) | THIS IS THE STARS PICK!!!! I didn't think that the Stars would trade this pick. They have an easy selection in Lucius. | ||
16 | - | Stanislav Svozil (+53 ) | I thought the Rangers had an easy pick in Svozil. Solidifies their depth on LD. | |
17 | - | Matthew Coronato (-4 ) | Easy pick here in Coronato. If the Blues trade Tarasenko, they will lack goal-scorers. Coronato could be their Tarasenko replacement. | |
18 | - | Carson Lambos (+8 ) | Jets took a W in this draft by drafting Lucius. During the draft, I did predict them to take Lambos in order to address their need at defense. | |
19 | - | Brennan Othmann (-3 ) | Svechkov is a good pick, but I thought that Othmann was a better pick. The Predators need a sniper badly. But I do understand this pick, with Duchene and Johansen part of trade rumors I do see Nashville wanting a replacement center. | |
20 | Sebastian Cossa (-5 ) | THIS IS THE OILERS PICK!!!!! I am shocked with what the Oilers did, trading down when both Wallstedt and Lysell were still available. I predicted the Oilers stay at this spot and select Cossa. Im not as shocked as most people that Cossa went before Wallstedt. He is way bigger in size than Wallstedt and had better numbers. | ||
21 | - | Sasha Pastujov (+45 ) | The Bruins struggled with goal-scoring last season, so I had them grabbing Pastujov. | |
22 | Logan Stankoven (+25 ) | The Wild lacked secondary scoring behind Kaprizov, so I had them grabbing a goal-scorer in Stankoven. | ||
23 | Aatu Räty (+29 ) | Raty could be the steal of the draft. Detroit could use a middle-six center. | ||
24 | - | Daniil Chayka (+14 ) | Defensive depth behind Ekblad is ice thin, so I had the Panthers grabbing a defensemen over a forward. | |
25 | Roman Schmidt (+71 ) | Morrow has a higher ceiling than Schmidt, but Schmidt has NHL-ready size. Morrow is very inexperienced as he's playing in USHS Prep, I saw him as a guaranteed faller. | ||
26 | Fedor Svechkov (-7 ) | The Wild won't draft a defenseman unless they have top-four potential. In my mock draft, Lambos isn't available, so I have them increasing their center depth. | ||
27 | Sean Behrens (+34 ) | The Canes lost a LD in Fleury, so I had them drafting a LD in Behrens. | ||
28 | - | Simon Robertsson (+43 ) | I had the Avalanche draft the perfect complement to Newhook. I have zero clue why Robertsson fell to the 4th round. Blues got a steal. | |
29 | Nikita Chibrikov (+21 ) | The Devils like drafting Russians, they continue their trend here. | ||
30 | - | Francesco Pinelli (+12 ) | Even though the Golden Knights acquired a young center in Patrick, with his health I still thought that they should draft a center for some insurance. Pinelli is the best center available. | |
31 | - | Scott Morrow (+9 ) | The Canadiens need a RD to replace Weber in the future. They may have drafted Mauilloux but they should have drafted Morrow. | |
32 | Isak Rosén (-18 ) | The Blackhawks need a winger after grabbing a defenseman in Seth Jones. They take Rosen here. |
