1 | | - | | No doubt Bedard goes at 1. Philly will be thrilled to have him and will be their best player in a long time. |
2 | | - | | I can see Arizona trying to get a hold of Michkov, but Fantilli makes sense since they already have their top-line wingers in Keller and Guenther. Cooley becomes their future 2C. |
3 | | - | | Anaheim is stacked at the center spot so they need a top-line winger, so they go for a Franchise winger. |
4 | | - | | Columbus gets their wanted 1C that they don't have in the system. |
5 | | - | | Chicago goes for a center and is probably the BPA. It's between him and Benson. Smith is similar to Cooley so Chigaco is very happy at 5. |
6 | | - | | I think Benson is the perfect fit for SJ, they will need to find a future center, preferably with size. |
7 | | - | | Sale makes sense for Vancouver. They don't have a future 1st line RW in the system, and Sale is BPA. |
8 | | - | | The Canadiens really need another RHD, so they get ASP with top-pair potential and is solid 2-way as well. |
9 | | - | | the Blues makes a reach and hesitate between Barlow and Wood, but take Barlow in the end. |
10 | | - | | Ottawa finally take a look at their defense and get a very good D prospect. |
11 | | - | | The Preds don't have a deep prospect pool, so anything helps, but they get a great player to play with Kemell, and it is probably another draft steal for the Preds |
12 | | - | | The Sabres finally mess up a pick, and take him for his offensive upsides, but doesn't really become what Buffalo hoped for in the long run. |
13 | | - | | Definitely a big reach, but the Caps love their Russians, and they get a huge man that will be a good middle 6 guy. |
14 | | - | | Stevie y isn't letting Cristall slip |
15 | | - | | Another mid 1st round pick for CGY, they go for a pretty good American |
16 | | - | | Such a Pittsburgh pick I feel like. |
17 | | | | Habs take a big flyer on Wood. He probably doesn't pan out though. |
18 | | | | With Sale in the system, they take a D that may play under Q.Hughes in the future. |
19 | | - | | They slowly continue to build their center depth |
20 | | - | | Yager would benefit Colorado well. He has a high potential but it is unlikely that he hits it. Being the main prospect in the Colorado system may benefit his development. |
21 | | - | | They get a decent prospect that is a pretty good pick at 21. |
22 | | - | | Seattle should stop drafting centers, but Heidt may be pretty versatile in the forward group. |
23 | | - | | LA stops taking risky prospects and gets a pretty steady one. |
24 | | - | | A pretty fair value, and an expected pick for WPG |
25 | | | | Probably a future third liner for NY |
26 | | - | | Vegas gets their future elite starter |
27 | | | | Another decent forward prospect for the Blues |
28 | | | | They now get a needed D prospect |
29 | | | | St.Louis decides to take a D in their 3rd pick of the draft, but Allen probably won't be the best pick they make. |
30 | | - | | They take a risky prospect, but I think he will be a draft steal when all is said and done |
31 | | - | | BPA |
32 | | - | | BPA |
