RONDE 1ÉQUIPEORIGINALJOUEURDéTAILS
1Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago-Obvious
2Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim-Anaheim isn't desperate for centres, but they aren't going to turn down one of his calibre.
3Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus-Columbus needs centres and NHL-ready prospects. Carlsson has done a lot to prove himself as a centre against men, so he seems like the obvious choice.
4Logo de Sharks de San Jose-San Jose can afford to wait for Michkov, an incredible talent who is worth the risk of drafting despite the Russia situation.
5Logo de Canadiens de Montréal-Montreal takes the last of the top 5 forwards in the draft. Smith has a lot of development to do, but adding his talent onto the roster could be huge in a few years.
6Logo de Coyotes de l'Arizona-It's very difficult to acquire high-end RHD in the NHL, so with the top tier of talent off the board, Arizona grabs the most proven RHD prospect of the draft.
7Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie-Leonard is one of the most well-rounded players in the draft. He's strong, skates well, has good skill, can shoot, and drives to the net really well.
8Logo de Capitals de Washington-Washington needs centre depth, and Dvorsky brings the blend of size, skill, physicality, compete, and shooting prowess that brought them success with Ovechkin.
9Logo de Red Wings de Detroit-Detroit may be wary of drafting a skilled forward who falls on draft day, but Benson brings a lot to the table in terms of skill, hockey sense, and compete at both ends of the ice.
10Logo de Blues de St-Louis-Another well-rounded player, Danielson fills a need for St. Louis at centre. He brings size, speed, great playmaking ability, and a pretty decent shot.
11Logo de Canucks de Vancouver-Willander shows great promise defensively, is one of the best skaters in the draft, and has offence to offer as well. He would make a great defensive partner for Hughes.
12Logo de Coyotes de l'ArizonaLogo de Sénateurs d'OttawaPerreault was a great complimentary player to Smith this year. Arizona will hope he can play the same role with Cooley in the future.
13Logo de Sabres de Buffalo-Buffalo hopes to replicate the success of Thompson with a similar player on the wing.
14Logo de Penguins de Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh looks to add speed and centre depth to support their aging core. Moore may eventually develop into a top six centre as the old core ages out.
15Logo de Predators de Nashville-Nashville adds size and scoring power on the wing with Barlow.
16Logo de Flames de Calgary-Calgary picks up a highly touted offensive RHD.
17Logo de Red Wings de DetroitLogo de Islanders de New YorkHaving gone with a small, skilled player at 9OA, Detroit opts to go for size with their second 1st round pick.
18Logo de Jets de Winnipeg-But is a huge winger with surprising skill and few weaknesses. He would go higher if not for the situation in Russia.
19Logo de Blackhawks de ChicagoLogo de Lightning de Tampa BayHaving secured the best forward in the draft, Chicago adds size and defensive prowess in Simashev. His puck skills and decision making need some work, but if they improve, this pick will look like a steal.
20Logo de Kraken de Seattle-Seattle takes a skilled winger with high upside to inject into their very solid forward core.
21Logo de Wild du Minnesota-While Yager's size is a bit of a concern, Minnesota have bet on small players before and won. He fills an important position of need at centre, plays a strong two-way game, and has one of the best shots of the draft class.
22Logo de Blue Jackets de ColumbusLogo de Kings de Los AngelesAnother centre for Columbus ensures that their woes down the middle of the ice are at an end.
23Logo de Rangers de New York-With so many questions surrounding the Rangers' roster construction, they will need versatility. Heidt provides that with his ability to play both centre and wing, as well as up and down the lineup. He's a strong playmaker who brings a ton of energy.
24Logo de Predators de NashvilleLogo de Oilers d'EdmontonNashville takes a gamble on Gulyayev, hoping to unlock his high ceiling as an offensive defenceman with a strong transition game.
25Logo de Blues de St-LouisLogo de Maple Leafs de TorontoHaving picked up a centre already, St. Louis grabs a solid defensive RHD just before the Sharks get the chance to do so.
26Logo de Sharks de San JoseLogo de Devils du New JerseySan Jose takes the best RHD available. Dragicevic struggles defensively, but is a major asset in transition and the offensive zone.
27Logo de Avalanche du Colorado-Colorado looks to shore up their centre depth with an underrated prospect who has good tools. Edstrom is strong defensively and has a good understanding of how to score goals around the front of the net.
28Logo de Maple Leafs de TorontoLogo de Bruins de BostonToronto grabs a solid depth forward who scores goals in big moments; a trait sorely needed on this team.
29Logo de Blues de St-LouisLogo de Stars de DallasSt. Louis moves to the left side now, grabbing another solid defensive defenceman.
30Logo de Hurricanes de la Caroline-Cristall is an odd fit for Carolina, but after years of falling short due to a lack of scoring, they're willing to take a bet on a dynamic offensive player.
31Logo de Canadiens de MontréalLogo de Panthers de la FlorideMontreal takes a goaltender; a position of need with a long development time. Hrabal is big and athletic, so he could turn into something great.
32Logo de Golden Knights de Vegas-Vegas takes a big, one-way winger with great playmaking abilities.

Agree that Michkov is the right pick. Dragicevic really isnt. Sure we need an RHD but we need a forward prospect with size even more. Musty or Halttunen make sense. Eklund, Bordeleau, Michkov, Robins, Gushchin and Cardwell all under 6’. Only Lund and Bystedt are over that have a legit chance at prominent NHL roles.

I doubt the Hawks go with Simashev with all the big, LHD they have in their system like Vlasic, Korchinski, Del Mastro, Philips, and Allen. They don't have a lot of high end talent at forward, so they're most likely going to be looking for a fwd with size since Dach might be the only fwd prospect they have who's >6'1 that has a chance at being a top 6 fwd
