1 | ![Sharks de San Jose Logo de Sharks de San Jose](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/san_jose_sharks.svg) | - | | Pretty much guaranteed now that Celebrini will go here. |
2 | ![Blackhawks de Chicago Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/chicago_blackhawks.svg) | - | | RD and RW are the biggest needs for Chicago, the offensive Levshunov would pair up greatly with the defensive Vlasic. |
3 | ![Ducks d'Anaheim Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/anaheim_ducks_24.svg) | - | | This isn't a Verbeek type pick, but Demidov has really solidified himself as the frontrunner for 2nd overall. Anaheim will be shocked to see him fall in their lap. |
4 | ![Blue Jackets de Columbus Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/columbus_blue_jackets.svg) | - | | First shock of the draft. Columbus reaches for Eiserman, who gives them the two things they need: scoring and speed. Eiserman's agility and team play isn't great, but he does provide goal-scoring, hockey IQ, speed, and offensive smarts. |
5 | ![Canadiens de Montréal Logo de Canadiens de Montréal](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/montreal_canadiens.svg) | - | | Montreal goes for their guy in Lindstrom. A line of Lindstrom-Suzuki-Caufield doesn't look bad for the future. |
6 | ![Utah Hockey Club Logo de Utah Hockey Club](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/utah_hockey_club.svg) | - | | Not the biggest steal of the draft, but there are very few scenarios that I see Dickinson falling out of the top 5. Arizona gets the complete package here. |
7 | ![Sénateurs d'Ottawa Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/ottawa_senators_21.svg) | - | | Yes, Silayev is a left shot, but he's been playing the right side for Torpedo this season. So fitting into the RD slot wouldn't be a problem at all. Ottawa will just have to wait two years for him to make the NHL. |
8 | ![Kraken de Seattle Logo de Kraken de Seattle](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/seattle_kraken.svg) | - | | In their 3 years of existence, Seattle hasn't drafted a D man in the first round. Here they draft Buium, who plays a skilled two-way game and is similar to Vince Dunn. |
9 | ![Flames de Calgary Logo de Flames de Calgary](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/calgary_flames.svg) | - | | Surprise. Calgary does NOT draft Iginla, they go safe and draft MBN, who is the most NHL ready prospect available. MBN is also the clone of Matthew Tkachuk, so he won't have a problem fitting into Calgary's system. |
10 | ![Devils du New Jersey Logo de Devils du New Jersey](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_jersey_devils.svg) | - | | The Devils take Stiga here. I feel like next year is the last chance for Holtz to establish himself as a full-time top 6 forward, if he doesn't let Stiga come in and inject scoring. But he's mainly known for his elite defensive game and being the best skater in the draft. William Eklund type player. |
11 | ![Sabres de Buffalo Logo de Sabres de Buffalo](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/buffalo_sabres_21.svg) | - | | The Sabres take more of a targeted approach and go off-the-board for Emery. His shutdown ability and size will complement Dahlin and Power very well. |
12 | ![Flyers de Philadelphie Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/philadelphia_flyers.svg) | - | | Center depth has been an issue for the Flyers, I see Catton being this year's Benson. Projected top 10 pick who falls outside that range. Could even sneak into the NHL next season. |
13 | ![Wild du Minnesota Logo de Wild du Minnesota](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/minnesota_wild.svg) | - | | The Wild will be shocked to see Sennecke on the board still. Reminds me of a righty Matt Boldy: insane hands, big kid, amazing IQ, shot. |
14 | ![Sharks de San Jose Logo de Sharks de San Jose](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/san_jose_sharks.svg) | ![Penguins de Pittsburgh Logo de Penguins de Pittsburgh](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/pittsburgh_penguins.svg) | | This is where Parekh will go. I see this as a Dragicevic situation. Prolific offensive defenseman who falls because there are holes defensively. Parekh is way better than Dragicevic, but needs to work on using his size without the puck and speeding up his decisions. |
15 | ![Red Wings de Detroit Logo de Red Wings de Detroit](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/detroit_red_wings.svg) | - | | Windsor isn't far away from Detroit, so scouting Greentree wouldn't be hard at all. |
16 | ![Blues de St-Louis Logo de Blues de St-Louis](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/st_louis_blues.svg) | - | | I see Yakemchuk falling because of his skating and defensive flaws. But the Blues need a high end D in the system, they will sprinting to the podium. |
17 | ![Capitals de Washington Logo de Capitals de Washington](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/washington_capitals.svg) | - | | Every year there's a player who falls cause the teams above them are addressing by need. Biggest steal of the draft, Washington continues to have solid draft luck. |
18 | ![Blackhawks de Chicago Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/chicago_blackhawks.svg) | ![Islanders de New York Logo de Islanders de New York](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_islanders.svg) | | Its unclear who the Blackhawks are targeting here, but I'm pretty sure its Hage, given that he plays in their backyard. But if Helenius is still sitting on the board, its a no brainer to take him instead. |
19 | ![Golden Knights de Vegas Logo de Golden Knights de Vegas](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/vegas_golden_knights.svg) | - | | The Golden Knights seem to be linked (not targeting) to Hage, Ritchie, and Parascak. Between the three, Hage is the best option. I don't expect him to make his NHL debut in a Golden Knights jersey, but plays a game similar to Jack Eichel, maybe Vegas keeps him? |
20 | ![Islanders de New York Logo de Islanders de New York](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_islanders.svg) | ![Lightning de Tampa Bay Logo de Lightning de Tampa Bay](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/tampa_bay_lightning.svg) | | I could see this pick being involved in some trade, but if it isn't the Islanders select Boisvert. Not the greatest skater, but brings a strong two-way game with skill. |
21 | ![Kings de Los Angeles Logo de Kings de Los Angeles](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/los_angeles_kings_24.svg) | - | | Hemming seems like a Rob Blake type pick. Big kid with a strong two-way game. |
22 | ![Predators de Nashville Logo de Predators de Nashville](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/nashville_predators.svg) | - | | Trotz just wants to draft the best talent there is possible, he get lucky that Connelly falls to their lap at 22nd. Off ice issues aside, Connelly has top 5 talent. |
23 | ![Maple Leafs de Toronto Logo de Maple Leafs de Toronto](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/toronto_maple_leafs.svg) | - | | Elick seems like a Toronto type pick and he is the guy they are currently targeting. Same type of player as Emery but brings less offense. |
24 | ![Avalanche du Colorado Logo de Avalanche du Colorado](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/colorado_avalanche.svg) | - | | I've had Bednarik to Colorado many times, the case still remains the same today. |
25 | ![Sénateurs d'Ottawa Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/ottawa_senators_21.svg) | ![Bruins de Boston Logo de Bruins de Boston](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/boston_bruins.svg) | | The Sens get their much needed offensive goal-scorer with this pick. |
26 | ![Canadiens de Montréal Logo de Canadiens de Montréal](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/montreal_canadiens.svg) | ![Jets de Winnipeg Logo de Jets de Winnipeg](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/winnipeg_jets.svg) | | Bit of a reach here, but Luchanko reminds me a lot like Suzuki. Projects as a 3rd line center in the future. |
27 | ![Hurricanes de la Caroline Logo de Hurricanes de la Caroline](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/carolina_hurricanes.svg) | - | | Another reach here, but Surin has the upside of a true 2C. Carolina's center depth behind Aho is aging. |
28 | ![Flames de Calgary Logo de Flames de Calgary](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/calgary_flames.svg) | ![Canucks de Vancouver Logo de Canucks de Vancouver](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/vancouver_canucks.svg) | | Calgary grabs the high rising Badinka. |
29 | ![Ducks d'Anaheim Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/anaheim_ducks_24.svg) | ![Oilers d'Edmonton Logo de Oilers d'Edmonton](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/edmonton_oilers.svg) | | I've seen Zellweger play the right side before, so fitting a Mintyukov clone wouldn't be a problem at all. |
30 | ![Flyers de Philadelphie Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/philadelphia_flyers.svg) | ![Panthers de la Floride Logo de Panthers de la Floride](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/florida_panthers.svg) | | The Flyers would be sprinting to the podium here, Jiricek is a steal at 30th. |
31 | ![Stars de Dallas Logo de Stars de Dallas](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/dallas_stars.svg) | - | | Dallas goes BPA here. They are stacked, Chernyshov is a steal here. |
32 | ![Rangers de New York Logo de Rangers de New York](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_rangers.svg) | - | | The Rangers get a rawer version of Panarin with this pick. |
