RONDE 1ÉQUIPEORIGINALJOUEURDéTAILS
1Logo de Sabres de Buffalo-Still the top pick imo, BUF goes for the guy that'll line up with Dahlin to create an unstoppable top four
2Logo de Kraken de Seattle-
Shane Wright
If SEA goes with a centre, I think it's probably Shane Wright. He was hyped up for so long that it's not fair to have him below Beniers imo. They'll both make an elite 1-2 combo in SEA irl... but we'll have to see who becomes the better player (+2)
3Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim-Since Beniers is still available, you gotta think they go for him
4Logo de Devils du New Jersey-NJD has their centre core set with JHughes, Hischier, Mercer. They don't need to take McTavish or Cooley. LHughes is still the pick here imo
5Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus-
Logan Cooley
Blue Jackets still need that top line centre. It's difficult to choose between McTavish, Johnson, and Cooley... but I think the pick is Cooley by a slim margin (-2)
6Logo de Red Wings de Detroit-Red Wings have Seider on the right... but no one on the left. They also don't have a long-term 2C to take over after Copp. It's difficult, but I think the pick here is McTavish instead of Edvinsson
7Logo de Sharks de San Jose-The choice between Eklund and Johnson is tricky, but I still think it's Eklund. Sharks are taking a C regardless, because Hertl and Couture are both aging.
8Logo de Kings de Los Angeles-
David Jiricek
Evidently the Kings need a right shot defenseman, but I don't think that Clarke is the choice here if Jiricek and Nemec are still available. Both have been stellar, but I have to give the edge to Jiricek. (-2)
9Logo de Coyotes de l'ArizonaLogo de Canucks de Vancouver
Juraj Slafkovsky
This is where the IRL first overall pick of 2022 will fall to, in my eyes. Keller plays the right, Maccelli and Slafkovsky can play the left. (-8)
10Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa-
Simon Nemec
Anyone is better than Tyler Boucher here. Sens have Stutzle, Norris, and Pinto in their centre ranks, so there's no reason to believe they need a centre. They have Sanderson and Chabot at left defense. Therefore, the only correct pick has to be a right shot dman. Clarke is the 3rd best right shot defense in this mixed draft. Simon Nemec, you are an Ottawa Senator. (-8)
11Logo de Coyotes de l'Arizona-
Choix au repêchage retiré
12Logo de Blue Jackets de ColumbusLogo de Blackhawks de ChicagoBlue Jackets should theoretically be going for a right shot defenseman, because of the thinness on their right side without Jiricek. Ceulemans won't cut it as a top-end defenseman. So they take the 3rd best RD in the draft in Brandt Clarke.
13Logo de Flames de Calgary-Kadri is a nice guy to have as your second line centre, but he's gonna age eventually. Lindholm's contract is also ending soon. Why not have a young guy to slot into a top six position by the time that happens?
14Logo de Sabres de BuffaloLogo de Flyers de PhiladelphieRealistically, if the Sabres already have Power, Dahlin, and Samuelsson as 3/4 of their future top four, they shouldn't go for another left shot. However, one can only dream of a top four finished up by Edvinsson. Power-Dahlin, Edvinsson-Samuelsson. Wow.
15Logo de Red Wings de DetroitLogo de Stars de Dallas
Marco Kasper
Stevie Y makes another big brain pick here, as he usually does, taking Kasper (just like IRL). He'll round out the future top six with Larkin and McTavish at centre (-7)
16Logo de Rangers de New York-Instead of going with another left winger in Othmann, the Rangers elect to go with a player who plays a less crowded position in Guenther, who plays the opposite wing.
17Logo de Blues de St-Louis-
Cutter Gauthier
The Blues just have to take the best possible player here. Gauthier went 5th in 2022, so it really only makes sense if he goes to the Blues. Worst case scenario, they use him as a trade chip to increase their everlasting contention. (-12)
18Logo de Jets de Winnipeg-Scheifele is aging, and Dubois is probably going to want out (if he doesn't, Habs fans will riot lol). They need a centre to hold down the fort with Perfetti. Sillinger seems like the correct, and only, option
19Logo de Predators de Nashville-
Kevin Korchinski
It'd be useful for NSH to have someone behind an aging Josi and Ekholm to take over, at least as the second defenseman. Svechkov was a random pick (-12)
20Logo de Wild du MinnesotaLogo de Oilers d'Edmonton
Matthew Savoie
If there's a possible future top six centre available here, the Wild have to take it. They have Rossi and JEE, but Rossi's ceiling is decreasing by the year. If they get Savoie, he might go on a similar trajectory, because he's also a small player, but it's a risk worth taking imo (-11)
21Logo de Bruins de Boston-
Pavel Mintyukov
A good left shot defenseman would be useful for the Bruins, even if he's a few years away. They do have Grzelcyk and Lindholm, but they're gonna need replacements for both eventually. Mintyukov will be one (-11)
22Logo de Oilers d'EdmontonLogo de Wild du MinnesotaSince IRL, the Oilers took Bourgault, there's no reason to think that they could go with Johnston instead. He's NHL ready, which is extremely useful for them, as they can play Nuge in the top six and have Johnston play 3C.
23Logo de Stars de DallasLogo de Capitals de Washington
Conor Geekie
Stars, having been robbed of Johnston, probably go with Geekie here, as he's a centre with high upside. They have Hintz as the top line centre, Stankoven likely as the third, and Bourque maybe on the wing if he picks his game up. Geekie would slot well as the second fiddle (-12)
24Logo de Panthers de la Floride-Panthers are in win-now mode. They just have to go with the best guy available, and that's Coronato
25Logo de Blue Jackets de ColumbusLogo de Maple Leafs de Toronto
Denton Mateychuk
Blue Jackets bolster their left side by taking Mateychuk. He'll be a long-term second-pair guy who might shift to first in case of an injury (-13)
26Logo de Wild du MinnesotaLogo de Penguins de Pittsburgh
Frank Nazar
I think the Wild go with another guy who can play centre, just in case both Rossi and Savoie don't pan out as top six guys. They have Nazar and JEE as their top six centres, which isn't ideal but it's still something (-13)
27Logo de Predators de NashvilleLogo de Hurricanes de la Caroline
Joakim Kemell
The Preds go with a good goal scorer in Kemell, who they also choose IRL. He seems like the right pick because the Preds need a goal scorer like him... and even though he might be a few years away, he'll help them out (-10)
28Logo de Avalanche du Colorado-Although he was seen as an odd pick at the draft, Rosen seems to be the pick here for Colorado. He might be a couple years away, but he'll be a good playmaker for the middle six when he's up and ready. Besides, the top six is basically set in stone for a long time.
29Logo de Devils du New JerseyLogo de Islanders de New York
Lian Bichsel
The Devils elect to bolster their left side with size in Lian Bichsel. With Hughes and Siegenthaler on the left, Bichsel will probably only play third pair, but he might play second if Hughes shifts to the right (which seems unlikely). Worst case scenario, he gets traded in a package (-11)
30Logo de Golden Knights de Vegas-Vegas' goalie pipeline is thin outside of Thompson. They elect to go with Wallstedt, who'll bolster that pipeline. He could become, at the very least, a tandem goalie with Thompson.
31Logo de Canadiens de Montréal-Instead of making the Mailloux pick here, the Canadiens elect to make a pick at the low-depth wings, and go for Joshua Roy's teammate Brennan Othmann. He'll solidify their middle six corps in the future, and will have existing chemistry with some of the players.
32Logo de Blackhawks de ChicagoLogo de Lightning de Tampa Bay
Rutger McGroarty
Blackhawks elect to go with a winger here - a position at which they are extremely depleted in. McGroarty will slot in the middle six in the future and should fit nicely alongside Reichel (-18)

As a blues fan I'd rather them take Jimmy Snuggerud who they took with the 23rd in the 2022 draft. Currently tied with Cooley with the most points on his NCAA team. Was 3rd in scoring at the WJC only behind Bedard and Cooley

Slafkovsky is being bullied so much for being the only NHLer from the 2022 draft and cause he wasn’t performing the best, he’s lower than players who are playing in way lower caliber
