1 | - | First Pick | #10 Overall | |
2 | - | My Ranking: #8. Yurov provides what I consider to be the biggest hole in the Ducks system right now: gritty top-six forwards.Yurov is big and strong, plays a strong 200-foot game, and has shown that he can play against men at a young age, playing half of this season in the KHL. He needs to put on some weight if he wants to continue his physical style against NHL competition, but the Ducks should be overjoyed if Yurov takes a slight drop on the board and falls into their lap. I would imagine, provided that Yurov lives up to his perceived potential, that Yurov would compliment the top line with Zegras and Terry (or Pastujov in the future) quite nicely, collecting pucks in the corners and providing some snarl and defensive prowess to two skill-based players. | ||
3 | - | My Ranking: #10. Jiricek is ranked higher on a lot of people's boards, but injury concerns kept him from jumping up any higher on my board. Not that he's not worth a higher pick: Jiricek may prove to be the best defender in this class, with NHL ready size and skating. He needs to learn to keep his emotions in check: he takes a lot of unnecessary penalties, especially with the stick via tripping or slashing. But the potential is certainly there for the Ducks to select him here. Imagine a top four where the right side is Jiricek and Drysdale. | ||
4 | - | My Ranking: #12. Lekkerimaki doesn't prove one of the key three attributes that I mentioned above, but what he would provide is an elite scorer to pair with the playmaking Zegras. It could be a future top 5 combo in the league. Lekkerimaki doesn't provide much in the way of defense or strength, but his skating ability and his wicked shot would make for an exciting top line to help bring the Ducks back into playoff contention. | ||
5 | - | Second Pick | #22 Overall | |
6 | My Ranking: #18. Del Bel Belluz provides what would be an elite #3 center option on the Ducks behind Zegras and McTavish, and would be a fantastic penalty killer and shut-down option to put out against opposing top lines. Del Bel Belluz is an elite two-way player who thinks the game at an elite level. He is always moving, always involved in the play, and always giving 100% whenever he's on the ice. He would be an instant fan-favorite in Anaheim and would help them keep the puck out of the net. | |||
7 | - | My Ranking: #19. If you'd never watched Nelson play, and just looked at his Elite Prospects page or something, you would assume that he is a purely offensive defenseman with his small size and high offensive numbers. You would be sorely mistaken. Nelson is a smart three-zone defender that is as valuable in his own end as he is on the O-zone. He could compliment Drysdale nicely on that right side, taking more defensive shifts to allow Drysdale more offensive freedom. | ||
8 | - | My Ranking: #23. Trikozov is exactly what the Ducks should be looking for in a future 3C behind Zegras and McTavish: a defensively-oriented center with a high Hockey-IQ. He may be more of a winger at the NHL level (he's weak on the face-off dot) but his skills and the way he plays makes me feel that the Ducks would like to have him on their roster. | ||
9 | - | My Ranking: #24. Chesley is the best purely defensive-defenseman in the class this year, and would be the perfect player to play after Drysdale. Chesley is a strong, smart defender that is tough to beat in 1-on-1 situations or in sustained zone time. A willing shot blocker and elite rush defender, Chesley provides a lot of attributes that Drysdale doesn't, making them a perfect 1-2 punch on the right side. | ||
10 | - | My Ranking: #25. What team in need of some size and grit wouldn't want someone who plays similarly to Brady Tkachuk? Gautheir will likely be gone before the Ducks second selection, but his consistency issues made it hard for me to rank him above certain players on my board. Still, when he's playing hard. Gauthier is a menace with or without the puck on his stick, with a hard shot, strong straight-line speed, defensive prowess, and an aggressiveness on the forecheck that the Ducks could sorely use in their top six. | ||
11 | - | My Ranking: #27. Bichsel, despite being a left-shot defender that the Ducks don't particularly need, provides the size and strong defensive presence that would pair very nicely with Drysdale on the top unit. Bichsel reminds me of Ryan Super in a lot of ways: bigger defender who isn't poor offensively, but you play him for his defensive effort and his ability to shut down top forwards consistently. | ||
12 | - | My Ranking: #28. Luneau, a former top 10 consideration at the start of the year, has fallen a bit, but is still a very solid prospect. Elite skating defenseman with strong 4-way mobility, poise with and without the puck, and a high Hockey-IQ. He would be a great member of any top 4, and the Ducks could use a guy like him in their future core. | ||
