1 | | - | | Nothing is 100% guaranteed in life except Bedard going 1st overall |
2 | | - | | Despite rumours, I don't think they can pass on Fantilli |
3 | | - | | Elite future 1C. Should be a no brainer |
4 | | - | | |
5 | | - | | A strong future top line power forward to play with Zuke and Cauliflower |
6 | | - | | Apparently they really like him and he fits their team. Center core looking good in the future |
7 | | - | | Don't think they can pass on Michkov here. They got years to kill anyway |
8 | | - | | Upset they don't get Michkov but strengthen their defense with Reinbacher as Carlson ages out |
9 | | - | | Dylan Larkin Lite. Need I say Moore? |
10 | | - | | We see our first big reach here. Strengthen defense after all centers and Reinbacher are off the board. Simashev can go anywhere from top 10 to mid 20s |
11 | | - | | Small winger seems like the opposite of what the Canucks need, but with a talent like Benson at 11, you simply can't pass it up. Plays bigger than he is and has a two way game. Canucks have reportedly been interested in him |
12 | | | | Protypical power forward to add to their collection of prospects. |
13 | | - | | Defense seems to be needed more than another winger given how stacked Buffalo's young forward group is |
14 | | - | | Big boy. Compared to Tage Thompson without the skating. If he improves his speed, he Wood be a force in the league |
15 | | - | | Trotz talked about going big or going home. Could be a reach, or it could look like a genius move like Seider at 6 by Stevie Y |
16 | | - | | Could probably use a bit of everything if everybody actually gets traded |
17 | | | | Another sort of reach. Some rankings have him very high, top 10 high, some have him late 1st to 2nd round pick. Mostly just wingers are available around this pick position. Gets some size and skill |
18 | | - | | Probably the most well rounded player in the draft. Good center prospect with Dubois heading out the door |
19 | | | | Hawks also need a bit of everything. Maybe a winger to play with Bedard one day? Sale definitely has the skills |
20 | | - | | Remember when he was ranked top 10? Still a great pick and a nice addition at C |
21 | | - | | Minnesota seems to have been looking for a center for a while. Yager has the skills to be a sick goal scorer.Another guy who was ranked a lot higher at the beginning of the season |
22 | | | | Offensive minded RHD prospect. Flyers could use some defense prospects |
23 | | - | | Versatile little forward. Could be a good middle 6 guy |
24 | | | | High upside player Trotz would be interested in if he fell this far. He has the skill and the production. Only question is if he translates this to the NHL. Boom or bust prospect |
25 | | | | Blues at another defense prospect and a great name |
26 | | | | Defense prospect wouldn't hurt. Small, but great skating and offensive instinct |
27 | | - | | Potential middle 6 C for the Avs. |
28 | | | | Could see Honzek going a lot higher. Great size and tools. Only time will tell if they translate to the NHL. |
29 | | | | Good winger who had very good production. Wing may not be a priority, however he is arguably BPA, and the Blues have already drafted 2 d men. Of course, this pick may not even belong to the Blues come draft day |
30 | | - | | Great winger prospect to join a strong Canes squad |
31 | | | | Slovakian RHD. Speaks for itself |
32 | | - | | He is small, but he is skilled. Marchessault is small, but he is skilled. Perron = Conny Smythe winner? |
