| RONDE 1 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
|---|
| 1 |  | - | C 6’0” 190 lbs NCAA Boston University -Clear cut top pick. Great two way center with elite skills off the rush. Sharks turbo charge there rebuild with a stud no. 1 center. | |
| 2 |  | - | RW 5’11” 168 lbs MHL SKA St. Petersburg -Most creative player in the draft. Has the puck on a string and shows great playmaking instincts. The second best forward in this draft, Chicago adds an impressive Russian forward who will make the players around him better. Demidov and Bedard make an impressive duo. | |
| 3 |  | - | RHD 6’2” 209 lbs NCAA Michigan State -Top RHD this year. Shows all the tools and potential to be a top defenseman. Offensively gifted and has shown tremendous growth year over year. Needs a bit more seasoning defensively/decision making but the Ducks would be fine with that. | |
| 4 |  | - | LHD 6’7” 207 lbs KHL Torpedo -This pick is the wild card in the early going. I have Columbus taking a big swing and going for the large Russian. A growing Russian contingent in Columbus makes this selection easier. Hard to go wrong with the powerful Silayev. He has the highest ceiling of the LHD and will be a fantastic prospect to watch. Can play both sides and CBJ adds another mutant to there back end. | |
| 5 |  | - | C 6’4” 216 lbs WHL Medicine Hat -Canadiens would like a forward as they have many young defenseman in the pool. Montreal goes with the physically imposing Lindstrom. 6'4" tank with great hands. Moves well for his size but needs to continue to improve his skating. Also benefits from having fantastic linemates (Mckenna (2025) and Basha) | |
| 6 |  | - | LHD 6’3” 194 lbs OHL London Knights -Safest projection outside of Celebrini. Looks to be a surefire bet to be a top 4 D at the next level. Fantastic skater and uses his edges to separate from forwards. Great, hard shot as well. Jack of all trades and will be a dependable player in the future. Utah tries to bank on a sure thing with the first pick in the (relocated) franchise history. | |
| 7 |  | - | RHD 6’0” 181 lbs OHL Saginaw -Sens are looking for a RHD. Parekh is an offensive dynamo who is putting up astronomical point totals. Will be a playmaker from the back end but could use some more coaching in his own zone. Could be Erik Karlsson fever in Ottawa again. | |
| 8 |  | - | LHD 6’0” 183 lbs NCAA Denver -Could end up being the top defenseman of the draft. The quality of the defenseman really shows by the drop by Buium. He has great instincts and rises to the occasion. A sublime skater and drives offense from the back end. Was a strong performer for team USA at WJC and Denver in the NCAA Frozen Four. Seems to be a winner at every level. Seattle finally spends a top pick on a defender. | |
| 9 |  | - | W/C 6’0” 185 WHL Kelowna -CGY needs to rebuild. Would you look at that the son of a franchise legend is there for the taking. The younger Iginla plays with a fiery style and is a great playmaker. Scores goals in bunches and has had a crazy rise this past year. Flames fans will love this pick. | |
| 10 |  | - | RW/C 5’11” 181 lbs Liiga Jukurit -The Devils go with a NHL ready forward. Helenius has been playing extremely well against men and projects as a solid two way forward. Uses his intelligence to perform offensively and is no slouch in the defensive end. Will probably shift to center in the future. No major standout attributes but will be a great complimentary piece in the NHL. | |
| 11 |  | - | RHD 6’3” 194 lbs WHL Calgary -Yakemchuk is skilled, mean and has exciting potential as a bona fide top pair defenseman. He is mocked all over the place as the raw talent is definitely there just needs to be coached out. Buffalo has a loaded pipeline and RHD is the only spot where they could use some premier talent. | |
| 12 |  | - | C/W 5’11” 163 lbs WHL Spokane -Philly scoops up a top forward that slips out of the top 10. Similar to Benson last year, Catton is a super skilled, smaller forward who is a modern playmaker in today's game. Catton can play center and wing as Philadelphia will be overjoyed with this pick. | |
| 13 |  | - | LW 6’0” 196 lbs NTDP -Wild go with the top goalscorer in the draft. Broke Caufield’s goal record for the US development program. Crazy release on his shot and instincts. I think this is still a steal as his two way play and skating concerns are a bit overblown. There is nothing wrong with a sniper who scores goals at a crazy rate. | |
| 14 | |  | RW 6’1” 198 lbs HockeyAllsvenskan Mora IK -Sharks add to Celebrini with Nygard. Super cool to see more and more countries produce top prospects. MBN is another two way forward that doesn't shy from the physical side of the game. He has a fantastic shot and leadership abilities as he is far and away the best Norwegian prospect in recent memory. | |
| 15 |  | - | RW 6’2” 181 lbs OHL Oshawa -A large forward who hit a growth spurt and has started performing to his potential. Has legit skill and smarts and will be a fantastic player to watch. Has improved in every zone of the ice this season. A huge playoff performance will see him rise up draft boards. | |
| 16 |  | - | RHD 6’2” 170 lbs Czech HC Plzen -Blues need defenders and are happy Jiricek slips to them. There are concerns over his injuries and general play in Czechia at the beginning of the year. Wiping out this crucial year in his development is a major bummer but he is still an exciting potential top rhd. Great shot, skating and positioning it is easy to see the similarities to his brother David (CBJ prospect) | |
| 17 |  | - | LW 6’2” 196 lbs MHL MHK Dynamo Moskva -Russian power winger. Excellent two way player who loves to drive the net off the rush. Makes the right decision more of than not with the puck on his stick coming up the ice. Adds some more dynamism to an older Capitals forward line. Of course you have to mock the Russians to the Caps. | |
| 18 |  | - | LW 6’1” 161 lbs USHL Tri-City -Slick skating playmaker that would look right at home in a new look Islanders offense. Relies on his fantastic edgework and acceleration to be a menace off the rush. Pure offense and I believe still will be drafted highly even with his off ice concerns. | |
| 19 |  | - | RW 6’2” 198 lbs OHL Windsor -Vegas adds the big, power forward Greentree. He was basically a one man show on a poor Windsor team. Has a nhl ready shot and strong compete level where he likes to throw the body around. Needs to improve his poor skating to have a major role in the show. | |
| 20 | |  | LW 6’0 185 lbs WHL Medicine Hat -Speedy winger and strong puck carrier through the neutral zone. One of the fastest skaters in the draft. Fantastic vision and would look scary alongside the Blackhawks other talented forwards. Provides future depth scoring for the Hawks. | |
| 21 |  | - | C 6’2” 179 lbs USHL Muskegon -Big center who projects as a mid line center. Not a great skater but plays a strong two way game and has a high hockey IQ. BPA here as Kings could look for a future center. | |
| 22 |  | - | C 6’1” 190 USHL Chicago -Skilled center. Great pick in this range as he has exciting potential with his offensive vision and off puck skills. Excellent at spacing with his linemates to maximize his offensive game. Will drop a bit due to his past injury. Preds take the gamble. | |
| 23 |  | - | RHD 6’3” 198 lbs WHL Brandon -Physical defenseman who is a strong skater from back to front. Steady in his own zone he will not be expected to put up a lot of points. Toronto could use his physicality along the boards but he still possesses a solid range of passing out from the back. | |
| 24 |  | - | C 5’11” 183 lbs OHL Guelph -One of the younger players in this class. Jett is a fantastic skater who brings a balanced game to the forward line. Can play Center and Wing and has strong offensive instincts. Won't be a star but will be a great value player for the Avs. His high floor looks to be an effective bottom 6 forward. | |
| 25 | |  | LW 5’10” 176 lbs USDP -Well-rounded player that brings strong analytics. Stiga is a bit undersized but has a strong two way game and experience in various roles. Performed well at the U18s for the USA. | |
| 26 | |  | C 6’2” 201 lbs OHL Barrie -Size and versatility. Habs get another forward that fits exactly what they're looking for. Beaudoin can do a bit of everything. Strong compete level and showed very well at the U18s. | |
| 27 |  | - | RW 6’0” 174 lbs WHL Prince Albert -Was considered a surefire 1st round prospect but injuries hampered his season so could slip into the second. Had a strong U18s which could boost his stock once again. Skilled scorer who fits well with great teammates internationally. Creative on the puck and a plus skater. Great sign for the Canes prospect pool. | |
| 28 | |  | RHD 6’3” 185 USDP -Flames add a rising prospect in Emery to fill there RHD spot. Emery is pure defense with miniscule offensive output so far. Plays physical and has great gap and stick control on opposing forwards. If Calgary can coax some offensive production out of him he will be a stud. | |
| 29 | |  | RW 6’2” 194 lbs Liiga TPS -Best defensive forward in the draft with a budding offensive game. Strong two way player with a great shot but he doesn't use it enough. High floor prospect. | |
| 30 | |  | C 6’0” 185 lbs USDP -Hard-working two way center. Probably won't become a superstar but will be a very good secondary scorer somewhere. Flyers continue to stockpile centers. | |
| 31 |  | - | RW 5’11” 179 lbs WHL Prince George -Complimentary scorer who scored points in bunches. Plays in all situations and is a fluid skater. Stars look to select the best forward they can and get a steal as Parascak falls to the second last pick of the first round. Stars love to draft high potential forwards from the CHL. | |
| 32 |  | - | LHD 5’10” 159 lbs USDP -Looks like he is trending towards a first round pick especially with the recent success of his brother. Small defenseman could be another puck moving savant who ends up flourishing in the NHL. Still a long time till he's strong enough for the big leagues. Wide range of outcomes could be picked in the 1st round or all the way late in the 2nd. Rangers continue to draft from the US program where they’ve had recent success. |
| RONDE 2 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
|---|
| 33 | | - | RHD 6’0” 185 lbs OHL Ottawa -Modern, playmaking RHD. Uses his skating and strong vision to bring the best out of his teammates. Sharks desperately need a strong RHD for there prospect pool and get a good one early in the second. | |
| 34 | | - | RHD 6’3” 190 lbs J20 Malmo -Blackhawks address the defense after selecting two impact forwards. Badinka has the size and skating to be an impact defenseman. Czech player who is performing in the SHL. Badinka has improved in multiple leagues and has made himself an intriguing prospect. | |
| 35 | | - | RW 6’1” 181 lbs QMJHL Chicoutimi -Complete player. Can work in front of the net on the powerplay or perform on the penalty kill. Could go higher as I'm sure GMs will love his total package. Needs to work on his skating like many prospects around this spot in the draft. | |
| 36 | | | LHD 6’0” 183 lbs J20 Vaxjo Lakers -Strong puck moving Swede. Great first pass and transporter of the puck. Can play physical but needs to improve in the defensive zone with his decision making. Flyers add a defenseman to continue to build a promising blue line. | |
| 37 | | | LHD 5’10” 172 lbs Liiga HIFK -Size concerns will make him drop. Seems to be a bit forgotten as many have not seen him play this year. A supremely talented puck moving defenseman who was once considered one of the top prospects in his draft class. Winnipeg will be excited about landing a premier player here. | |
| 38 | | - | C 6’7” 209 lbs U18 AAA St. Andrew’s College -Unicorn of a player. A 6'7" center still playing high school hockey so a lot of development still to go. If Utah is patient he could become a star. Remains to be seen how much of his size is an advantage at youth levels. Plus skater for his size which helps his projection. | |
| 39 | | - | RW/LW 5’11” 187 lbs KHL Torpedo -Smallish winger who brings a lot of skill and awareness to the table. Performed well in the KHL and should be able to improve his numbers next year. Sens take a bet that his skill shows next year as he asserts himself more in his D+1 year. | |
| 40 | | - | C/RW 6’1” 192 lbs MHL Loko Yaroslavl -Good skater and shows enough skill to play the flank on the power play. Extremely physical and a pest on the ice. Plays like Marchand but needs to reign it in more because he costs his team with needless penalties. | |
| 41 | | - | C 6’0” 185 lbs J20 Djurgardens IF -Eriksson has been getting some first round buzz as a pro style center with strong intelligence and two way game. Great puck transporter and sees the ice well. More of a facilitator than a finisher. He looks to be a bottom 6 center in the future. | |
| 42 | | | RHD 6’4” 194 lbs WHL Vancouver -Sharks double dip on RHD in the second round. Roberts is a big RHD who skates well for his size. Plays a spirited game and is surprisingly very mobile in his skates. If he can improve his offensive play, San Jose will love his two way potential. | |
| 43 | | - | LW 6’0” 185 lbs USHL Waterloo -More of a shooter. Can play up and down the lineup with skill and pace of play. Flies up and down the ice but gets a bit of tunnel vision as his brain can't keep up with his legs. Can play a physical game if required. Big potential here. | |
| 44 | | | LHD 6’2” 201 lbs Norway Valerenga -Norway's top defender. A big, physical minute muncher in Norway's top league as well as national team. Has been steadily rising all year and has had a great end to the season. Starting to add some snarl to his game as well. Performed great in World Championships. One of the steals of the second round. | |
| 45 | | - | LHD 6’1” 196 lbs J20 Vaxjo Lakers -Offensive defenseman that leans pass heavy and joining off the rush. Late season riser. Freij likes to roam and walk the line in the offensive zone. Would look great commanding a powerplay. | |
| 46 | | - | W 6’1” 185 lbs USHL Muskegon -Quick release who can beat goalies clean from distance. Needs to be more consistent but is starting to turn heads at Michigan. Some rumblings that he is a first round talent. Projectable scorer in the NHL. | |
| 47 | | - | C 5’11” 172 lbs J20 MoDo Hockey -Well rounded two way center. Quick skater and shows solid decision making in all phases of the game. Shows patience as he waits for plays to develop. Could sneak into the first round. | |
| 48 | | - | RW 6’0” 185 lbs J20 Orebro -Wizard on the puck. One of the better finishers in the draft class. Plus level shot and stickhandling in close. Changes direction at pace and conceals his movements well enough to beat defenders. Needs to improve his commitment to playing off the puck. | |
| 49 | | | RHD 6’3” 187 lbs WHL Kamloops -Brunicke is an excellent prospect from South Africa. High potential but is still a raw defender. Plays well for Canada and plays a pro style game with strong mobility and positioning. Offensive game could use some growth but that can be coached into him. | |
| 50 | | - | LHD 6’2” 172 MHL Krasnaya Armiya -Defenders performing in the KHL as teenagers will always get some attention. Shuravin plays a simple game which is what you want out of a young defender. If he reaches his potential he can be a shutdown presence for the Islanders. | |
| 51 | | - | RW 6’5” 201 lbs WHL Edmonton -Big bodied Czech forward. Struggled for consistency but the potential is there to be a strong two way forward. Needs to improve his skating to make an impact. Flyers take a swing on a project player to improve their size up front. | |
| 52 | | | RHD 6’0” 176 lbs OHL Oshawa -Shutdown defender. Danford plays with a lot of heart, blocking lots of shots on the penalty kill and well as being a physical presence along the boards. | |
| 53 | | | LHD 6’6” 216 lbs Sm-sarja JYP -First overager off the board. Hulking defender who improved in leaps and bounds this year playing in Liiga. Came out of nowhere to shoulder big time minutes for his club. Preds snag a monster European to patrol the back end. | |
| 54 | | | F 5’11” 181 lbs WHL Regina -Bedard's former running mate. Howe has impressed again as he has overcome doubts about whether he could perform without the former no. 1 pick. Howe is an energetic scorer that adds depth for the Hawks. | |
| 55 | | - | W 6’1” 176 lbs OHL London -Dependable, structurally sound winger from the London Knights. O’Reilly is a strong support player who wins the majority of his battles along the wall. Has a high compete level and shows strong consistency in any role. | |
| 56 | | | LHD 6’4” 212 lbs NTDP -Physical, shutdown defenseman. Big bodied and likes to body check opponents. Could potentially become a two way defender but leans a stay home, shutdown defender. Looks like he lives in the gym. | |
| 57 | | | LW 6’0” 165 lbs OHL Brantford -Adaptable forward that can gel with different teammates. Excellent two way game and always pops up with important contributions. Uses his skill and intelligence to gain the right position on his defender. | |
| 58 | | | F 5’11” 192 lbs NTDP -Well rounded forward who has potential to give more. Strong leadership as he was the captain of the U18s. Good hockey sense and vision around the ice. Always around the puck and making plays. | |
| 59 | | | C 6’3” 187 lbs J20 Rogle -Another Swedish center as the second round this year seems to be littered with potential prospects. Zether received minutes in the SHL and has an NHL ready frame. Strong two way game that still needs to grow his offensive capabilities. Leans bottom 6 center. | |
| 60 | | - | C 6’3” 207 lbs WHL Everett -Another big center that can be a potential bottom 6 pivot in the NHL. Great skater that shows off deceptive hands when protecting the puck. Carolina loves there Finns. | |
| 61 | | | RHD 6’3” 179 lbs QMJHL Rimouski Oceanic -Achieves success by knowing his role and sticking to it. Skates well and possesses good enough vision on his outlet passes. Doesn't have the highest ceiling but will be a dependable defender at the next level. | |
| 62 | | - | LHD 6’1” 201 lbs NL Zurich SC -Aggressive defender from Switzerland. Drives up and down the ice while engaging physically the whole time. Ustinkov plays at a fast pace and is one of the youngest players in the draft class. | |
| 63 | | | C 5’10” 165 lbs OHL Mississauga -One of the fastest players in the draft. Pure upside pick which will surely excite Utah. Likes to hound opponents on the forecheck using his quickness. On the small side which will impact his draft position. Late 2nd round is good value. Look out for his brother as well who is one of the top prospects in the World. | |
| 64 | | | LHD 6’0” 176 lbs NL EV Zug -One of the top defenders in his own zone this year. Muggli plays a mature defensive game and is always on top of puck retrievals in his own zone. He plays a shut down role with tough matchups as well as penalty killing minutes. Not much offensive ability he projects as a bottom pair defender in the NHL. | |
| 65 | | | G 6’1” 196 lbs OHL Owen Sound -First goalie off the board and it’s a surprising one. George is supremely talented but lacks size in net. He boasts strong positioning and technical attributes that enable him to succeed. The Kraken hope his pure athletic ability works out in the long run. His consistency is what sets him apart from the other goalie prospects. |
| RONDE 3 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
|---|
| 66 | | | F 5’11” 172 lbs WHL Lethbridge -Very talented forward that falls to the third round. Feisty player with strong technical ability around the net. Plays a power game even though he is not very big. Surprisingly wasn’t included on the U18 roster so may fall a bit. | |
| 67 | | - | G 6’2” 179 lbs OHL Mississauga -Relies on his reflexes and athletic ability to protect the crease. Not a large goalie by any means but has performed well in the OHL. | |
| 68 | | - | RHD 6’4” 225 lbs QMJHL Cape Breton -Mammoth RHD out of the Q. Lavoie will be a physical beast at the next level if he can improve his decision making. Can be molded by the Ducks coaching staff into a shutdown defenseman. | |
| 69 | | - | Ilya Nabokov | G 6’1” 180 lbs KHL Magnitogorsk -On the smaller side for a goaltender. Nabokov was undrafted last year but has impressed this year while graduating to the KHL. Elite athleticism, positioning and does well to square up to shooters. High upside bet for CBJ. |
| 70 | | - | C 6’2” 190 lbs QMJHL Baie-Comeau Big center from Montreal’s backyard. The local kid projects as a two-way center with strong defensive numbers. Next season he will be asked to take on a more prominent role. | |
| 71 | | - | LHD 5’10” 148 lbs Czech Liberec -Small, highly skilled defender with upside at the next level. Already a great passer just needs to improve his positioning and to prove he can handle pro style forwards. Been performing extremely well in the Czech league. | |
| 72 | | | C 5’10” 164 lbs Liiga Jukurit -Works well in the middle of the ice with his wingers and defenders. Solid positioning in both the offensive and defensive ends of the ice. Always seems to be involved in the play which is a good sign for a center. Could be a little more selfish however. | |
| 73 | | - | RHD 6’5” 203 lbs USHL Lincoln -6'5" monster, right hand shot. Basically all you need to be a good pick this spot in the draft. Kleber is a projectable player that is starting to blossom with strong puck moving and decision making. | |
| 74 | | - | LW 5’11” 170 lbs WHL Swift Current -Slight build but a crafty playmaker with high vision on the ice. One of the best passers. Caswell has been on mock drafts for the past 3 years as he produced points at a high rate and looked great on the puck. Has fallen a little recently due to consistency but still has great potential to be a scorer in the pros. Needs to improve his defensive output to make an impact. | |
| 75 | | - | G 6’3” 187 lbs Finland Jokipojat -Aggressive netminder playing against men in Finland. One of the top European goalie options this year. Speed and lateral ability has been solid but he sometimes struggles tracking the puck and using his body to “swallow” the puck. | |
| 76 | | - | C 6’2” 179 lbs WHL Tri-City -Versatile Czech forward that can play center and winger. Came over to play in the WHL this year. Plays both the powerplay and the penalty kill and understands how to create offense through his playmaking ability. Could see more growth as he continues to learn how to impact the game on North American ice. | |
| 77 | | - | LHD 6’4” 181 lbs OHL Sarnia -Son of former Detroit Red Wing, Jiri Fischer. The Flyers bet on his bloodlines and strong work ethic. Excellent size and projects as a shutdown defender at the next level. | |
| 78 | | | LHD 6’4” 216 lbs High School Shattuck St-Mary’s -Very young defender that plays a pro style game. Tantalizing size and skating that shows a lot of runway left to grow. Shows a solid understanding of how to pressure opponents and knock them off their game. | |
| 79 | | | LW 6’2” 167 lbs Finland Jr Ilves Jr. -Heavy metal winger that can shield the puck anywhere on the ice. Quick off the blocks but plays a simple game. Needs playmakers around him to thrive and reach his potential. | |
| 80 | | - | LHD 6’0” 177 lbs Liiga Kookoo -Smart defender that is a little too passive to be a top prospect. Uses solid skating and passing to influence play but should be more aggressive to really show his talent. Two way game shows promise and he will be an important player for Finland's youth teams. | |
| 81 | | - | LW/C 5’11” 170 lbs NTDP -Playmaker for the NTDP. Committed to Minnesota-Duluth next year. Manipulates defenders through casual head fakes and twitches of his body. Great passer but will need to improve his skating and strength. | |
| 82 | | - | RW 6’0” 190 lbs WHL Calgary -Hard working forward from the WHL. Wetsch has a unique ability to remain consistent throughout the season. He produced 50 pts and was steady all year. Can be physical but is more of a shooter than a playmaker. Needs to add more variety to his game to take the next step. | |
| 83 | | | Luca Marrelli | RHD 6’2” 179 lbs OHL Oshawa -A surprise inclusion on the U18 Canadian team. Marrelli is a dependable blueliner who does his job with minimal fuss. Playing a simpler game allows his skilled teammates a chance to be creative and shine. A late season riser he may be well off the board at this point. |
| 84 | | | C 5’11” 192 lbs OHL Sudbury -Pesty, agitator on the ice. Was suspended for social media posts so that could affect his draft stock. Flames would love a tough to play against forward that still performs effectively on both ends of the ice. | |
| 85 | | | G 6’4” 179 lbs USHL Omaha -Another Boston University commit, Yegorov is the No.1 on NHL Central Scouting for North American goalies. Has a NHL goalie frame and moves well laterally in net. His quickness and reactions showcase an exciting potential number 1 goaltender. Needs to continue to get more repetitions and improve consistency. | |
| 86 | | | C/LW 6’2” 175 lbs NTDP -Strong leader for the developmental program. Van Vliet is an exciting center prospect that plays a strong two-way game. Excellent skater and is strong on the backcheck. He also developed a scoring touch as the year went on. High end compete and can drive plays on a line. Committed to Michigan State. | |
| 87 | | - | RW 5’8” 181 lbs QMJHL Baie-Comeau -Top goal scorer in the QMJHL. Poirier puts himself in spots to score around the net and uses his elite quickness to get around defenders. Scored 51 goals which is an astounding number. Special in the offensive zone but lacks in other areas. The only thing that holds him back from being a top pick is his size. Could be a bargain pick at this point in the draft. | |
| 88 | | | LHD 6’0” 192 lbs NTDP -Good size and performs his role admirably for the NTDP. He can perform on the penalty kill and is more than willing to block shots and clear the front of the net. A simple passer, he is an all around good defender that is worthy of a mid round pick. | |
| 89 | | | G 6’5” 176 lbs KHL SKA St. Petersburg -Large, overager playing in Russia. Possesses ideal size for a NHL goalie. Moysevich produced strong numbers behind a loaded SKA St. Petersburg team. He has great positioning and reactions but needs to improve his skating side to side. | |
| 90 | | | RW 6’3” 190 lbs Finland Jr. TPS Jr. -Strong, defensive forward. Always in the right position supporting teammates offensively and defensively. Hasn’t figured out how to impact the game with the puck on his stick yet. | |
| 91 | | | LW 5’10” 163 lbs High School Shattuck St Mary’s -Committed to North Dakota next year. Zellers shows strong offensive acumen and has the skills to take advantage. Great hands in tight and shows strong decision making with his release. Talented player that still has a long road to go. | |
| 92 | | - | RHD 6’2” 183 lbs Finland Jr. Ilves Jr. -Defensive defenseman that does well defending the rush and uses his size effectively to body forwards. Gap control and skating are appealing to NHL Gms. Excellent mobility but has average puck skills and offensive ability. Overall a solid defender. | |
| 93 | | - | LHD 6’3” 198 lbs MHL Omsk -Quick defender out of Russia. Solid skating technique that allows him to keep up with quicker forwards. Needs to improve his reactions and discipline in the defensive zone in regards to positioning. | |
| 94 | | | LW 6’5” 209 lbs QMJHL Saint John -Large frame and heavy shot. Mateiko is a solid two way forward using his long reach to produce great results on both ends of the ice. He is a strong skater and performs much like an old school power forward in the offensive zone. Physical and engaging around the net he could be a solid contributor at the next level. | |
| 95 | | - | RW 6’2” 174 lbs Minnetonka High -High school player that plays an old school two-way game. Loves to play physical and get involved all over the ice. Will have to see how his game evolves as he begins to climb up the levels. | |
| 96 | | | C 5’8” 159 lbs J20 Orebro -Supremely talented but will be drafted lower because of his size. He is a shifty playmaker in space and produces points at a fantastic rate. Always seems to be in the right place and uses his vision to make the right choice with the puck. Will be fascinating to see where he goes on draft night. Preds own a lot of picks so take some gambles. | |
| 97 | | | LHD 6’1” 175 lbs WHL Everett -Strong skating defenseman out of the WHL. Equips himself well in the offensive zone glimpses of high creativity. Could be more physical but has strong potential as a puck moving defenseman. |

| 98 | | | C 5’11” 170 lbs NTDP -Michigan bound. Lots of potential growth still as he showed glimpses of strong offensive play with the development program. Skilled passer but could use some seasoning in college. | |
| 99 | | | RW 6’0” 205 lbs OHL Kingston -Very hard working forward. Plays a modern power forward style. Uses his speed to get involved in the play and matches opponents physicality. Needs to improve his skill on the puck to be even more effective. | |
| 100 | | - | C/W 6’6” 210 lbs OHL Sudbury -Massive forward for the stacked Sudbury Wolves. Solid skating for a big man and shows adequate skills around the net. Show potential playmaking and will be tough to pass up by most GMs. | |
| 101 | | - | C/LW 5’10” 154 lbs QMJHL Rimouski Oceanic -Dynamic playmaker from the Q. Strong vision and intelligence when moving the puck around the ice. Very creative with his body positioning to deceive the defender when releasing a pass. Might go higher as players with his production usually do well. Short height and smaller frame enables Columbus to snap him up in the 4th round. | |
| 102 | | - | C 6’1” 165 lbs Liiga TPS -Total nostalgia pick. Koivu will be picked somewhere in this range as he is a budding center with famous dad bloodlines. Aatos is young for this draft but has one of the best skating techniques around. Superb balance and agility as he uses that to increase his playmaking ability. Still a raw player, Koivu needs to improve his defensive awareness as well as physical bulk. One of the higher potential players in the middle rounds. | |
| 103 | | - | LW/C 6’3” 192 lbs J20 Frolunda -Another solid skater for a big winger. Quick off the blocks and displays impressive agility down tight against defenders of the goalie. His long reach helps his anticipation defensively and offensively protecting the puck. Off the puck, Sterner struggles to make a difference. | |
| 104 | | - | C 6’0” 181 lbs WHL Red Deer -Two-way center with solid playmaking ability. A hard working player that plays like a NHL vet with his forechecking and versatile offensive game. Adaptable player. | |
| 105 | | - | Noel Fransen | LHD 6’0” 183 lbs J20 Farjestad BK -Smooth skating Swedish defender. Fransen is a pass-first defenseman who displays solid decision making and anticipation of defenders. He is a bit on the small side and needs to develop physically. |
| 106 | | - | RHD 5’11” 181 OHL Windsor -Mobile, offensive defenseman. Jumps into the rush any chance he gets. Can quarterback the PP but doesn’t have a great shot. He prefers to make plays with quick passes side to side. Occasionally lacks compete and sometimes cheats the defensive zone which is a big no-no for a defender. | |
| 107 | | | C 6’0” 192 lbs OHL Barrie -Solid, two way power forward who plays both special teams for Barrie. Plays with high energy and hunts pucks all over. Relies on his short passing and shielding the puck in the offensive zone. Has improved all year and is a late riser up draft boards. | |
| 108 | | - | LW 6’1” 198 lbs MHL Krasnaya -Promising Russian winger that can play both sides. Possesses a strong hockey IQ with a fantastic wrist shot. Can be a goal scorer or the playmaker as he can mold his play to what the team requires. Quick hands and 1 on 1 skills as well as a growing defensive game. Strong potential here although he is inconsistent like many young Russian wingers. Similar to multiple Sabres picks throughout the years. | |
| 109 | | | RHD 6’3” 192 lbs WHL Spokane -Stay at home defender who plays with a physical edge. Willing to drop the gloves for his teammates. A fluid skater that plays a risk free, simple game. Offensive awareness is almost zero but could be coached more. | |
| 110 | | - | LHD 6’6” 205 lbs J20 HV71 -Huge defender that is a great skater with strong mobility and pace. Supports the rush well using his speed. Needs to be more comfortable with the puck on his stick but has the body and skating to be a solid NHL defender. | |
| 111 | | - | Marcus Gidlof | G 6’6” 212 lbs J20 Leksands -Massive goalie who has done very well over in Sweden. Aggressive in challenging shooters and takes away the net. Needs to improve laterally which is common for a goalie his size. Been rising recently and has a shot at being the first goalie taken. |
| 112 | | | C/RW 6’0” 176 lbs OHL North Bay -Late bloomer who was buried on the depth chart last season. 111 points in the regular season this year as he showcases a brilliant display of passing and consistency. A high hockey IQ helps him get into strong positioning to score. Has some pop on his shot that improves year over year. Improving his defensive game will see him be an even better prospect. | |
| 113 | | - | LHD 6’4” 185 lbs Liiga KalPa -Another big body for the Blues prospect pool. Muhonen displays strong defensive acumen and is especially adept at cutting off passing lanes with his large reach. Has performed well in a men's league and for Finland’s youth teams. | |
| 114 | | - | LHD 6’4” 198 lbs MHL Loko -Another fantastic skating, massive defender from Russia. Uses his stick to disrupt plays rather than his body. Protects the puck with his massive frame and prefers to play like a playmaker. Purely a potential pick as he hasn’t put it all together yet. | |
| 115 | | - | F 6’3” 207 lbs SHL Farjestad -Son of former NHLer Christian. Shutdown defensively responsible center. He is a solid passer and is physically a beast in the offensive zone. Can perform on the penalty kill and defensive situations. Needs to work on his skating. | |
| 116 | | | W 6’3” 203 lbs J20 HV71 -Raw player who skates pretty well. More of a goal scorer and loves to park in front of the net for the tip. He reads the game well from an offensive and defensive standpoint. Works hard every night and could be a solid bottom 6 option. | |
| 117 | | | G 6’2” 190 lbs NTDP -Competitive athlete and a positionally sound keeper for the NTDP. Athletic between the posts and uses quick reads to challenge shooters. One risk is that he has not seen a lot of shots and has been on the dominating team far too often. | |
| 118 | | - | G 6’4” 176 lbs SM-sarja HPK -Efficient netminder that got games in the pro level in Finland. Tracks the puck well and uses his flexible, large frame to make saves look easy. Like many of the goalies around this point, could be the first taken. | |
| 119 | | - | C 6’1” 196 lbs U20 SM-sarja Kiekko-Espoo -Two way player with nice vision and IQ. Puts up a lot of points in the Finnish junior leagues. Needs to work on his skating to make an impact. | |
| 120 | | - | Eric Burger | LHD 6’0” 181 lbs J20 Orebro -Rugged defender from Sweden. Physical defender who separates the opponent from the puck with ease. Fantastic player in his own zone. Shows strong puck skills as he is able to make direct passes and possesses a strong shot. High potential pick by Toronto. |
| 121 | | - | LHD 6’0” 172 lbs OHL Mississauga -Solid two-way defenseman receiving a lot of minutes in the OHL. Ranked extremely high in some places. Aggressive to step up to forwards off the rush and willing to join the rush when he gets the chance. Fibigr is solid in all zones of the ice without any elite traits. Needs to improve consistency and continue to grow his two way game | |
| 122 | | - | RW 6’2” 174 lbs BCHL West Kelowna -Power forward build with strong skating and technique. Plays with a tremendous amount of compete and is skilled at stripping defenders from the puck with his long reach. A shoot first type of player with a cannon of a release. Committed to BU, conveniently in the Bruins backyard, and it will be exciting to see him play with other top players. Could be an absolute home run of a pick here. | |
| 123 | | - | C 6’0” 170 lbs OHL Kingston -200 ft player who is strong on both ends of the ice. Excellent IQ and vision as well as a fantastic shot. Good faceoff taker. Needs to show more in the offensive zone to warrant a higher pick. Strong floor as a bottom 6 contributor. | |
| 124 | | - | Yegor Graf | C 5’11” 161 lbs MHL SKA St. Petersburg -Solid two-way center who pays attention in the defensive zone. Plays like a potential NHL center and has developed an offensive game this season. Carolina loves the mid round Russian steals and get another one here. |
| 125 | | - | LW 6’3” 190 lbs MHL Kapitan -Power forward who displays legit skill while bullying players around the ice. Put up a bunch of points in the MHL. Strong shooter with exciting offensive talents, but has slow skating and attention to detail in the defensive zone. Vancouver can afford to wait for him which could pay off in a huge way. | |
| 126 | | | LHD 6’2” 187 lbs J20 AIK -Efficient on both ends of the ice Uljanskis has been a powerplay weapon with a plus level shot. He needs to improve his defensive abilities and tends to make too many boneheaded plays. | |
| 127 | | | C/W 5’11” 172 lbs SHL Skelleftea -Offensive player with high IQ and attacking skills. Confident with the puck on his stick and shifty skating as he beats defenders 1 on 1 routinely. Good shot that explodes off the stick. Needs to become aware in the defensive zone as well as more physical to have a chance. | |
| 128 | | | G 6’2” 174 lbs WHL Saskatoon -Underrated goalie from the WHL. Plays a mature game with strong awareness of his positioning and when tracking pucks. Diagnosed with diabetes, it will be interesting to see where this impressive young goalie goes or if NHL teams will want to see a larger body of work. | |
| 129 | | - | F 6’0” 192 lbs NCAA Michigan St. -Well rounded player who can play across the forward lines. Reliable on the puck and doesn’t shy from his defensive duties. Not very creative or fancy with the puck and does his job without fuss. Projects as a decent nhl third line winger. |
| RONDE 5 | ÉQUIPE | ORIGINAL | JOUEUR | DéTAILS |
|---|
| 130 | | | LW 6’2” 181 lbs Minnetonka High -Very athletic winger who is committed to the University of Minnesota. Fantastic wrist shot and can play both a skilled or hard nosed game depending on game conditions. Will need to improve his defensive game as well as speed up his decision making/IQ but Moore has strong potential. | |
| 131 | | | LW 6’0” 183 lbs OHL Niagara -Beautiful skater. Can fly around the ice and is one of the fastest players in the OHL. Born in China, Kevin has had a very cool upbringing in the world of hockey. He is a goalscorer who has no problem mucking it up in front to hammer home a goal. Possesses lots of talent but has been criticized for being selfish at times. Great potential here as San Jose gets another toolsy forward. | |
| 132 | | | RHD 6’4” 215 lbs MHL Dynamo -Athletic and built like a truck. Exceptional skater and a beast in the defensive zone. Taimazov eats up minutes while mostly being deployed in the defensive zone and playing the penalty kill. Projects as a bottom pair stay at home defenseman. Might be early here as he shows up later on most mocks. | |
| 133 | | - | F 6’3” 198 lbs WHL Kelowna -Power forward who has a scoring touch. A simple north, south player in the offensive zone. Gojsic also has grown in the defensive zone and improved mightily as the season goes on. Projects as a typical NHL middle winger. | |
| 134 | | - | RW/C 5’10” 165 lbs QMJHL Shawinigan -High point totals on a poor team in the Q. Lacerte is a smallish goalscorer who uses strong instincts to patiently wait for scoring opportunities. He is a good puck handler as well as committed defensively. A big knock on him seems to be his lack of pace or intensity when the games ramp up in difficulty. | |
| 135 | | - | LHD 5’10” 161 lbs USHL Waterloo -Committed to U of Denver. Smallish defender that excels as a puck mover and transporter up the ice. Good passer and shows strong IQ in both zones. Needs to get stronger. | |
| 136 | | - | RHD 6’1” 190 lbs QMJHL Baie-Comeau -All situations defender that has a well rounded skill set. He can contribute offensively and has strong one on one defending ability. He needs to improve his skating as that is his major weakness. | |
| 137 | | | LW 5’7” 157 lbs USHL Fargo Force -Diminutive playmaker who won USHL player of the year. Has had a fantastic playoffs so may rise even more. A tremendous stick handler and has an eye for goal. Needs to be aggressive with high intensity to win the puck due to his size. Could work on improving his skating especially his acceleration if he wants a chance. | |
| 138 | | | RW 6’3” 189 lbs OHL North Bay -Procyszyn falls to the fifth round which is music to Chicago’s ears. A huge winger that can skate extremely well and plays physical all over the ice. Has quality puck control and can perform on a powerplay unit in front of the net. He needs to improve his shot and compete level but when he’s on he is a truly exciting forward. | |
| 139 | | - | RHD 6’1” 183 lbs USHL Youngstown -Quality defender out of the USHL. Pitner can perform in both zones as a hard hitting defenseman who has underrated offensive talents. Joins the rush with ease and has a nice shot. Strong positioning in the defensive zone usually enables him to eliminate opposing forwards. | |
| 140 | | | C 6’3” 190 lbs OHL Windsor -Big forward with strong skating and a high compete level. A great pick in the mid rounds, Spellacy has great speed and defensive acumen. His finishing around the net has continued to improve and he blows by defenders off the rush. His tremendous second half of the season could see him picked higher than here. | |
| 141 | | | LHD 6’0” 176 lbs U20 SM-sarja Pelicans -Good leader and a fierce competitor on the ice. Nieminen is a bit small but still plays physical and can perform most tasks given to him. Good passer and can turn quickly on his edges. Needs to work on his acceleration to keep up with forwards in short sprints. | |
| 142 | | - | G 6’3” 196 lbs WHL Tri-City -Strong first half of the season followed by a puzzling struggle of a second. Still a highly rated goalie prospect, Matecha succeeds with exceptional positioning and angling on shooters. | |
| 143 | | | LHD 6’0” 172 lbs USHL Youngstown -Younger player in this draft. Excellent skater and uses strong defensive awareness to cut off passing lanes. Still room for more growth into his frame, Osburn also has to showcase more playmaking ability to be a higher pick. | |
| 144 | | - | C/RW 6’1” 183 lbs Czechia HC Ocelari Trinec -Versatile forward that can play all 3 forward positions and multiple roles on the ice. Holinka is a two way forward that is strong on the boards and a skilled passer. Not the most potential but can be a bottom six player in the future. | |
| 145 | | - | C 6’0” 170 lbs WHL Medicine Hat -Another forward from the stacked Medicine Hat team. Can play either role of scorer or playmaker and has put up lots of points on the powerplay. His offensive talents rely on puck control and capitalizing on defender’s mistakes. | |
| 146 | | - | Ilyas Protas | F 6’3” 183 lbs USHL Des Moines -Performed well in his first year in the USHL. Profiles as a tough power forward on the wing. Strong motor and a high compete level. He is a bad skater for his size and it will drop him down some draft boards. His brother is already on the Caps so they take a homer pick here. |
| 147 | | - | C 6’0” 174 lbs Czechia HC Ocelari Trinec -Solid jack of all trades player who likes to throw the body around in the Czech league. He has good vision and a strong puckhandler but doesn’t excel in any particular area. If he can improve his processing speed and decision making he can be a contributor in the NHL. | |
| 148 | | | LHD 5’11” 168 lbs Liiga TPS -Strong skater with great acceleration. Jokinen is an all around defender who likes the puck on his stick. Shows good playmaking ability. Jokinen has a strong compete level but needs to get bigger to be able to take on higher level forwards. Almost no physical game of note. | |
| 149 | | - | LHD 6’1” 200 lbs USHL Cedar Rapids -Defensively responsible two way defender from the USHL. High awareness in the defensive zone as well as adequate skating and compete level. Could be a puck moving, responsible 3rd pairing defender. | |
| 150 | | | C/LW 6’1” 176 lbs OHL Kitchener -Power forward who tries to be the hardest worker on the ice. Not the best skater but makes up for it by being a fantastic defensive forward. Not very strong in the offensive zone so needs to improve his playmaking and shot. | |
| 151 | | | W/C 6’6” 192 lbs WHL Prince George -Towering forward from the WHL. A late riser up draft boards. Laing is a physical specimen who has improved his point production throughout the year. Could be an interesting project pick for the Leafs. | |
| 152 | | - | Joona Vaisanen | RHD 6’0” 176 lbs USHL Dubuque -Finn who came over to North America early from the Finnish leagues. Plays a simple game and is calm and collected under pressure. |
| 153 | | | LHD 5’11” 183 lbs J20 HV71 -Smooth skater in all directions. Nilsson is a conservative passer with good stickhandling and a solid point shot. He could use some work defensively as he seems a bit lost in his own zone at some times. Regressed a little bit this season. | |
| 154 | | - | RHD 6’3” 194 lbs USHL Lincoln -Classic no nonsense defender. He has a good first pass and an active stick in all zones of the ice. He has strong gap control and disrupts plays by uses his strong skating and positioning. | |
| 155 | | - | Eric Olsson | G 6’4” 183 lbs USHL Omaha -One of the top goalie prospects from early in the season. Olsson has great size and crease composure. Has a quick glove hand and can move laterally quickly from side to side. A bit of a ho hum season has him down on some boards. |
| 156 | | - | G 6’2” 185 lbs WHL Spokane -Had a strong season in the WHL. Dawson is a competitive goalie who uses his supreme confidence and focus to read shooters. He can track pucks and still has the quickness to make great reaction saves. Trending upwards. | |
| 157 | | | Matyas Melovsky | C 6’0” 183 lbs QMJHL Baie-Comeau -Overager from the QMJHL. Melovsky has a strong hockey IQ and vision when passing the puck. Leans playmaker more than finisher. I think he gets picked this year earlier than people are expecting. |
| 158 | | - | 5’9” 176 lbs Liiga KalPa -Playmaking forward from Finland who is one of the best play drivers in the class. His size will hold him back but he plays a style that could potentially work. He is a very good stickhandler and puts himself in the right position more often than not. Will have a hard time sticking to center at higher levels. | |
| 159 | | - | LHD 6’4” 214 lbs OHL London -Plays for one of the top teams in the OHL. He is a defensive defenseman who uses his large frame and stick to separate opponents from the puck. Makes the right decisions in his own zone. Not very active on the offensive side of the puck or else he would be a much higher pick. | |
| 160 | | - | Frans Haara | RHD 6’1” 185 lbs SHL Skelleftea -A value pick here for the stars as Haara has developed into a potential bottom pair defenseman prospect. A good passer and generally just a solid player. No elite skill but can be dependable in any situation. |
| 161 | | - | C 6’3” 214 lbs MHL Yunior Krasnogorsk -Youngster who has been performing in the MHL. Anatsky doesn't have much hype around him but is a physical center who plays a direct style. He will be a late round steal at this point. |

Battles for pucks all over the ice and hounds defenders. Could use more development of his offense but will be an adequate grinder for a bottom 6 role. | |
