1 | ![Sharks de San Jose Logo de Sharks de San Jose](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/san_jose_sharks.svg) | - | | Nothing to discuss. |
2 | ![Blackhawks de Chicago Logo de Blackhawks de Chicago](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/chicago_blackhawks.svg) | - | | Big RD is more interesting than a dangling winger. |
3 | ![Ducks d'Anaheim Logo de Ducks d'Anaheim](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/anaheim_ducks_24.svg) | - | | Fits to well with the rest of their group to pass up on. |
4 | ![Blue Jackets de Columbus Logo de Blue Jackets de Columbus](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/columbus_blue_jackets.svg) | - | | They need more depth down the middle. While I'm personally not super high in Lindstrom I think Columbus while have a hard time passing on a potential first line powerforward centre to play behind Fantilli. |
5 | ![Canadiens de Montréal Logo de Canadiens de Montréal](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/montreal_canadiens.svg) | - | | He can't drop further than this. Montreal would be stupid. |
6 | ![Utah Hockey Club Logo de Utah Hockey Club](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/utah_hockey_club.svg) | - | | Arizona goes slightly off the board here. Bets on skilland ceiling after playing it safe last year. I think they get a gift here |
7 | ![Sénateurs d'Ottawa Logo de Sénateurs d'Ottawa](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/ottawa_senators_21.svg) | - | | Right handed d-men with Erik Karlsson potential. Just what Ottawa needs. |
8 | ![Kraken de Seattle Logo de Kraken de Seattle](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/seattle_kraken.svg) | - | | Premium D for the Kraken. Buium should go higher in my opinion. |
9 | ![Flames de Calgary Logo de Flames de Calgary](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/calgary_flames.svg) | - | | Just too good of a story to pass up on. Not only that but Iginla is probably BPA, and I feel so so confident that his floor is a top-6 winger. |
10 | ![Devils du New Jersey Logo de Devils du New Jersey](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_jersey_devils.svg) | - | | Lets face it. Some team is going to draft someone no one expected throwing everyones board out of order. This year my bet is the Devils. Even having a top-10 selection this year is an unexpected gift for them, and with the talent they have down the middle and on the back-end they take the best forechecker in the draft. I actually really like this pick for New Jersey. They get a heavy, defensively responsible forechecker with a blistering shot that can easily pot 20-30 a season. |
11 | ![Sabres de Buffalo Logo de Sabres de Buffalo](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/buffalo_sabres_21.svg) | - | | Buffalo should trade this pick. They really should. But if they don't, they go for the big swing on upside. If Eiserman hits, he's a potential 40/50 goal player that's borderline impossible to get without emptying your wallet on the free market. And if he doesn't, well Buffalo has the prospect pool to absorb the loss. |
12 | ![Flyers de Philadelphie Logo de Flyers de Philadelphie](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/philadelphia_flyers.svg) | - | | Helenius and Michkov on a line... slap me silly boy. Helenius has the IQ to keep up with Michkov and is defensively responsible enough to clean up the mess he will inevitably create. This is probably the drafts best fit. |
13 | ![Wild du Minnesota Logo de Wild du Minnesota](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/minnesota_wild.svg) | - | | He can't fall any further than this. |
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) | | Decisions, decisions, decisions... It's either Solberg or Yakemchuck because the Sharks desperately need D. At the end of the day I think they go Yakemchuck because they need RHD more than LHD, but I personally like Solberg more. |
15 | ![Red Wings de Detroit Logo de Red Wings de Detroit](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/detroit_red_wings.svg) | - | | How the hell did Sennecke drop this far? This draft is all over the place. But Detroit says thank you and goes by BPA. |
16 | ![Blues de St-Louis Logo de Blues de St-Louis](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/st_louis_blues.svg) | - | | Defense is the name of the game, and the Blues feel confident betting on Solberg over Jiricek. |
17 | ![Capitals de Washington Logo de Capitals de Washington](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/washington_capitals.svg) | - | | They've taken too many wingers lately, even though I think Chernyshov looks mightily tempting for them. They might go with Jiricek, but I doubt it. |
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) | | You're not going to like it, but this is why the Hawks traded up. Connelly should go higher than this based on play alone, but the Hawks knew he would fall and thought it to be more likely that he would still be on the board here than at 20. |
19 | ![Golden Knights de Vegas Logo de Golden Knights de Vegas](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/vegas_golden_knights.svg) | - | | Everyone loves Hage. Which is why Vegas takes him. Because of his trade value. He wont last long. |
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) | | They need wingers. And I think Parascak is perhaps the third smartest player in the draft. The Islanders feel confident they can fix his skating. |
21 | ![Kings de Los Angeles Logo de Kings de Los Angeles](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/los_angeles_kings_24.svg) | - | | A bit off-board, but I love it. The kings are competing NOW, and if Hemming doesn't become the 30 goal scorer has the potential to be, then you get a player with a great B-game that can play on your third line. |
22 | ![Predators de Nashville Logo de Predators de Nashville](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/nashville_predators.svg) | - | | Nashville goes for upside. I was tempted to not go D since they took Tanner Molendyk last year but I think they double up. |
23 | ![Maple Leafs de Toronto Logo de Maple Leafs de Toronto](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/toronto_maple_leafs.svg) | - | | Hockey sense, defensively responsible, a great motor and could be ready for the big league in as little as 1 year. Whats not to like for Toronto? |
24 | ![Avalanche du Colorado Logo de Avalanche du Colorado](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/colorado_avalanche.svg) | - | | NHL teams love big, right handed d-men that can skate like the wind. Avalanche are also still good, so they can afford to draft someone that's probably going to need more than a couple of years. |
25 | ![Bruins de Boston Logo de Bruins de Boston](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/boston_bruins.svg) | - | | Boston goes for a C in Beaudoin. Projectable and ready for the NHL sooner rather than later. |
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) | | Continue to stock up on skill at forward. |
27 | ![Hurricanes de la Caroline Logo de Hurricanes de la Caroline](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/carolina_hurricanes.svg) | - | | They need C, and Petterson is the best one available. |
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) | | BPA. Can't let him fall lover than this. |
29 | ![Stars de Dallas Logo de Stars de Dallas](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/dallas_stars.svg) | - | | Dallas loves unconventional players that seem a bit odd. I'm never sure what to think of Ritchie, sometimes he looks great sometimes he looks lost. |
30 | ![Rangers de New York Logo de Rangers de New York](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_rangers.svg) | - | | I don't by it. But everyone seems convinced this will be the pick if he's available. I'm just following the crowd here. |
31 | ![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) | | Anaheim bets of upside and gets a Russian friend for Silyaev. |
32 | ![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) | | After going Helenius at 11 they go for a defenseman with the last pick of the draft. I know some will argue for another player here, but I think Muggli will surprise people come friday. |
