RONDE 1ÉQUIPEORIGINALJOUEURDéTAILS
1Logo de Sabres de Buffalo-Buffalo is in rebuild mode, they take best player available rather than address a team need.
2Logo de Kraken de Seattle-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.
3Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim-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.
4Logo de Devils du New Jersey-I, along with everyone could see this coming. Luke and Jack reunite.
5Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus-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.
6Logo de Red Wings de Detroit-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.
7Logo de Sharks de San Jose-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.
8Logo de Kings de Los Angeles-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.
9Logo de Coyotes de l'ArizonaLogo de Canucks de VancouverArizona 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.
10Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa-I do not agree with what Ottawa did here by selecting Boucher. Here I have them selecting Clarke.
11Logo de Coyotes de l'Arizona-

12Logo de Blue Jackets de ColumbusLogo de Blackhawks de ChicagoI had the Blue Jackets selecting Ceulemans with this selection.
13Logo de Flames de Calgary-I initially had Calgary selecting Sillinger. Coronato is also a good selection but Sillinger has a higher ceiling.
14Logo de Sabres de BuffaloLogo de Flyers de PhiladelphieI 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.
15Logo de Red Wings de DetroitLogo de Stars de DallasTHIS IS THE STARS PICK!!!! I didn't think that the Stars would trade this pick. They have an easy selection in Lucius.
16Logo de Rangers de New York-I thought the Rangers had an easy pick in Svozil. Solidifies their depth on LD.
17Logo de Blues de St-Louis-Easy pick here in Coronato. If the Blues trade Tarasenko, they will lack goal-scorers. Coronato could be their Tarasenko replacement.
18Logo de Jets de Winnipeg-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.
19Logo de Predators de Nashville-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.
20Logo de Wild du MinnesotaLogo de Oilers d'EdmontonTHIS 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.
21Logo de Bruins de Boston-The Bruins struggled with goal-scoring last season, so I had them grabbing Pastujov.
22Logo de Oilers d'EdmontonLogo de Wild du MinnesotaThe Wild lacked secondary scoring behind Kaprizov, so I had them grabbing a goal-scorer in Stankoven.
23Logo de Stars de DallasLogo de Capitals de Washington
Aatu Räty (+29 )
Raty could be the steal of the draft. Detroit could use a middle-six center.
24Logo de Panthers de la Floride-Defensive depth behind Ekblad is ice thin, so I had the Panthers grabbing a defensemen over a forward.
25Logo de Blue Jackets de ColumbusLogo de Maple Leafs de TorontoMorrow 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.
26Logo de Wild du MinnesotaLogo de Penguins de PittsburghThe 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.
27Logo de Predators de NashvilleLogo de Hurricanes de la CarolineThe Canes lost a LD in Fleury, so I had them drafting a LD in Behrens.
28Logo de Avalanche du Colorado-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.
29Logo de Devils du New JerseyLogo de Islanders de New YorkThe Devils like drafting Russians, they continue their trend here.
30Logo de Golden Knights de Vegas-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.
31Logo de Canadiens de Montréal-The Canadiens need a RD to replace Weber in the future. They may have drafted Mauilloux but they should have drafted Morrow.
32Logo de Blackhawks de ChicagoLogo de Lightning de Tampa BayThe Blackhawks need a winger after grabbing a defenseman in Seth Jones. They take Rosen here.

Pretty pumped that the Ducks snagged Pastujov in the 3rd (!!!) round.

USDP players are typically a number of years away, and there's probably a good reason why he fell so far, but boy howdy, what a high ceiling for a 3rd rounder.

All in all, going into the season and it looked like the Wild's two picks were going to be a lot higher, my dream was to get one or two of Kent Johnson, Jesper Wallstedt, and Carson Lambos.

Naturally, once our picks were in the 20's, the only one I had a remote hope of getting was Lambos. I felt comfortable about possibly getting Cossa if Wallstedt wasn't likely there.

But... To be able to walk away from that draft with 2 out of the 3 I wanted most in Wallstedt and Lambos. I am over the moon! Gotta say that was instant win of a draft for us in my book!
