Lottery winners
1. San Jose Sharks
2. Chicago Blackhawks
Round 1
1. Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks) (Details: No brainer. Yes, he isn’t as good as Bedard, Hagens and Mckenna but he is a franchise player.).
2. Artyom Levshunov (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Chicago will almost certainly go for defense. Outside of Korchinski and Vlasic, their defense is pretty weak. Offensively tho, they are good with Bedard, Nazar, Moore and Reichel. They could probably snag MBN, Chernysov or Sennett with the Tampa pick too.).
3. Zayne Parekh (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Anaheim clearly want a RD. Outside of Noah Warren and Luneau (who are GREAT, but maybe not elite), they are pretty thin there. Parekh makes the most sense for them.).
4. Cayden Lindstrom (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: Columbus needs a center to play with Fantilli. They might wanna go with Demidov but Lindstrom has the positionnal advantage. They might go with Catton too, but Lindstrom’s size is a big plus).
5. Ivan Demidov (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: At this rank, Demidov is a no brainer for Hughes. He is exactly what the habs need.).
7. Carter Yakemchuk (Ottawa Senators) (Details: We all know Ottawa is going for a RD here, and Yak isthe most likely.).
8. Anton Silayev (Seattle Kraken) (Details: I think Silayev would be a good fit for Seattle. They kindahave holes everywhere and he is a beast.).
9. Tij Iginla (Calgary Flames) (Details: Match made in heaven).
10. Zeev Buium (New Jersey Devils) (Details: They go BPA here).
11. Adam Jiricek (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: A bit of a reach here, but Buffalo could really use a RD).
12. Sam Dickinson (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: Philly solidify their defense after missing out on Reinbacher last year).
13. Konsta Helenius (Minnesota Wild) (Details: They add agreat winger).
14. Cole Hutson (San Jose Sharks from Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: After going for Celebrini, the Sharks need to get a defensemen).
15. Cole Eiserman (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: Detroit goes BPA).
16. Liam Greentree (St. Louis Blues) (Details: St-Louis is the style of teams to like big guys).
