RONDE 1ÉQUIPEORIGINALJOUEURDéTAILS
1Logo de Oilers d'EdmontonLogo de Blue Jackets de ColumbusHear me out, Forsberg's been a consistent 50-60 point guy all of his career, but these past few years have shown him to be genuinely elite and one of the best wingers in the league.
2Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus-Vasy's usually a top three goalie, but these past couple years, especially this year, have shown some major cracks in his game. Yeah, he's had injuries, but Forsberg's improvement and Vasy's decline is what causes this ranking.
3Logo de Canadiens de Montréal-Rielly's a versatile defenseman, who has had amazing offensive years, and can actually play defense, unlike most offensive defensemen.
4Logo de Islanders de New York-These past two years have boosted Lindholm's stock. Amazing defensively, with the ability to throw the body and produce some big plays.
5Logo de Maple Leafs de Toronto-This year's been rough for Hertl, but he's capable of 70 points and been a reliable goal scorer.
6Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim-Teravainen and Hertl can be switched and it wouldn't matter. Their production's been almost identical, Teravainen's just had a little more consistency, but not the flashy star power that Hertl can provide.
7Logo de Wild du Minnesota-Wilson's obviously the chief tough guy in the NHL, but unlike most of them, he's capable of 40 points a year.
8Logo de Penguins de PittsburghLogo de Hurricanes de la CarolineThe NHL needs more physical defensive defensemen, and Trouba gives it that. While he capable of some offensive skill, recent years have shown that the physicality of the game his is forte.
9Logo de Jets de Winnipeg-Skjei's kind of a two-way guy, leaning more on offense. You'll see with the upcoming defensemen, they're either awful at defense, or just aren't as skilled as Skjei is.
10Logo de Lightning de Tampa Bay-Maatta's just a standard top four d-man who can shutdown any team's offense. He's been a consistent guy ever since making the jump to North America. Kinda underrated if you ask me.
11Logo de Capitals de WashingtonLogo de Avalanche du ColoradoMatheson's one of the better offensive d-men in the league. The problem? He's a powerplay merchant and horrendous on defense.
12Logo de Sabres de Buffalo-Dumba ain't what he used to be, but he isn't no slouch. He's adopted a more physical game, which works at times, but the problem is that he can get absolutely exposed during some plays.
13Logo de Stars de Dallas-Laughton's one of the more consistent bottom six guys in the league, but it's taken him up until last year to show if full potential. Another 40 point year will bump him up for sure.
14Logo de Sabres de BuffaloLogo de Flames de CalgaryOh, what could've been for Tanner Pearson. Injuries have sapped him of anything he once had, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's out of the league soon. But in his prime, he could put up 40 points, and showed flashes of even more potential.
15Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa-Yeah, he's a pilon, but he's the best we got at this spot.
16Logo de Capitals de Washington-Murray was capable of being a top shutdown d-man, but injuries wrecked him.
17Logo de Sharks de San Jose-Faksa's nothing more than a fringe third line center, but he provides stability to a team's bottom six. Not much else you can expect out of him.
18Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago-Girgensons and Faksa are very similar in career trajectory and style of game. Faksa's just been a little more impressive over his career.
19Logo de Lightning de Tampa BayLogo de Red Wings de DetroitIt shows how bad this first round is when Galchenyuk is not in the bottom ten. While he's a terrible human being and his offensive fall off was so bad he got kicked out of the league, his prime had 50 points years. If only he didn't just, you know, suck for like four years straight he'd be top ten.
20Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie-Jankowski's early career showed signs of middle six play, with 30 point seasons, but now he's been relegated to generic fourth line winger.
21Logo de Flames de CalgaryLogo de Predators de NashvilleSubban was actually a solid backup for a few years, but now he's a fringe NHL backup wasting away in the AHL.
22Logo de Penguins de Pittsburgh-Yakupov wasn't as bad as Subban or Jankowski, but being the first overall pick and never hitting 40 points is embarrassing, and his genuinely awful defensive play makes him one of the worst first overall picks in the history of the game.
23Logo de Panthers de la Floride-Pouliot's risen back up to a seventh d-man role after festering in the AHL. Early on, he was a serviceable defenseman, but now he'll be nothing more than depth.
24Logo de Bruins de Boston-It surprises me that Gaunce is even still in the league. Whenever he plays, he doesn't put anything up on the scoreboard, but he's been in over 100 NHL games.
25Logo de Blues de St-Louis-Grigorenko had a little bit of potential, putting up consecutive 20-something point seasons, but he just wasn't cut out of NHL hockey, moving back to Europe.
26Logo de Canucks de Vancouver-Koekkoek's out of the NHL, and when he played he was a fringe third pair defenseman.
27Logo de Coyotes de Phoenix-42 career NHL games, seven points.
28Logo de Rangers de New York-92 career NHL games, eleven points.
29Logo de Devils du New Jersey-
30Logo de Kings de Los Angeles-
