ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the San Jose Sharks-The obvious choice
2Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-I can see Chicago going for any position. Although Lindstrom seems like a good fit as he has good size and is a more likely projection compared to Demidov
3Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Ducks are deep in every position but RHD after trading Drysdale. Taking the best RHD seems like a no brainer.
4Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Possibly the highest ceiling in the draft. IMO jackets should only be looking for a top line winger or a 2C and Demidov seems like a good bet to become a star next to Fantillli.
5Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-This pick might seem a bit off the board but its been reported that habs are looking to draft a forward and with the 2 best forwards gone off the draft they are looking someone with size (so not someone like Iginla), Sennecke is a very fun prospect to watch and has a very high ceiling IMO. He is a late riser much like Iginla
7Logo of the Ottawa Senators-2nd best RHD in the draft, only position sens are really lacking in.
8Logo of the Seattle Kraken-High ceiling LHD. IMO better than Parekh.
9Logo of the Calgary Flames-The obvious choice
10Logo of the New Jersey Devils-Safe choice. I doubt NJD needs to take a chance on drafting someone with a low floor high ceiling type player when they already many stars on their team.
11Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-High ceiling winger
12Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Natural center who put up crazy numbers in the O. I think hes comparable to Benson and may also drop a little due to his size.
13Logo of the Minnesota Wild-Top 6 winger.
14Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the Pittsburgh PenguinsBPA, idk if he will fall this far though but its a very deep draft from 2-15.
15Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-RHD, can slide in under Seider.
16Logo of the St. Louis Blues-BPA I think?? Tier below the top 15 imo. 24' draft is deep from like 2-15 could all be interchangeable.

Beckett Sennecke at #5 would be bold

Personally, I'd take Buium or Catton over Helenious at #10. Maybe even Eiserman.

I dont disagree Sennecke would be bold, but I can't see him falling past like 12 at most.

Yeah Buium/Catton def having higher ceilings but imo Helenius will probably be a better fit in a top 9 role compared to Catton who would eventually play 3C behind hughes/Hischier.
Now that I think about it Buium would probably be a good fit for NJD

Yeah ik this is a defensemen heavy draft but who of those 5 teams would really need a D-prospect? Sharks are taking BPA. Hawks MAYBE, but they would have the possibility of drafting Lindstrom / Demidov.
Jackets already have jiricek /Mateychuk in the system with Werenski as 1D. If Demidov is avaliable I think they take it. Habs were reported to be heavily interested in taking a forward this draft, however if I were them I would def be looking at Tij or Parekh
