1 | | - | | Shane Wright is by far the best player in the draft and whoever gets 1st will for sure take him. |
2 | | - | | Logan Cooley is one of the most complete players in the entire draft and I think he will go 2nd because he is the 2nd best player in this draft and Montreal could use a good center like him. |
3 | | - | | I believe that Nemec is the best defenseman in the draft and since Seattle already got their #1 forward last year, they will get their defenseman this year. |
4 | | - | | After moving Giroux the flyers will get a 1c to help their rebuild. |
5 | | - | | The devils have their 1c in Jack Hughes and why not get a big good scoring winger to help him. |
6 | | | | Lambert is a very speedy and shifty forward who can move well with the puck and I think he would be very good in the Jacket's future. |
7 | | - | | Jiricek is the 2nd best defenseman and would be very good for Ottawa to take to add to their future D-Core. |
8 | | - | | Kemell is a very solid forward who can be a very good future asset for detroit's forward core. |
9 | | - | | Yurov is a good scoring and playmaking winger who can be a very good top 6 forward in the future for the Sabers. |
10 | | - | | Nazar game is very shifty and he is a great all around player who will be a good future winger in the Sharks forward core. |
11 | | - | | This seems high for McGroarty but he has really impressed me and I think his scoring and playmaking is really good together. I think he could even be taken ahead of Nazar potentially. |
12 | | - | | Columbus took a forward 6th overall in this draft so I see them taking a defenseman this time in Salomonsson. This may surprise some people this high, but from what I have seen he is the 3rd best defenseman in this draft. He has a great 2-way game and some physicality. |
13 | | - | | Geekie still has a lot of work to do in his game, but I see great potential in him and could be a good 2c behind Barzal in the future. |
14 | | - | | I see the Jets taking a defenseman here and the next best choice here is Casey. He still does need to do some work, but the breaking out and offense is very good. |
15 | | - | | The Canucks already have a stacked forward core so they probably want a D-Man here and I think the next best option is Mintyukov. I think his game has great offensive and defensive ability with some physicality. |
16 | | | | Lekkerimaki has an amazing shot and is such an explosive speedy winger who would be great in the Saber's future. |
17 | | - | | L.A has already such a stacked prospect pool and can really take anyone with this pick, but if they were to decide I think they would take a D-Man over a forward.The next best D-Man is Chesley, he has a great defensive game and is good at transitions, but his offense still needs some work, but offense is really L.A's worry right now. |
18 | | - | | Mateychuck is a solid defenseman who still does have a couple holes in his game but once he gets those figured out he can be a really solid D-Man. |
19 | | - | | I really like Gauthier's game and he could go even higher than this. His 2-way play and playing in the O-Zone is very good
and he could become a very good top 6 forward in the future. |
20 | | - | | I see the Oilers taking a D-Man here because they already have many good young forwards so they probably want a D-Man here. I see Luneau as the best option here because of his good all around game. His game so far is very solid all around and after a couple of years in the QMJHL he could become really good in all categories of a D-Man. |
21 | | - | | Ostlund has a really solid game and excels in playmaking who can be a really good middle 6 forward in Washington's future. This may seem low for Ostlund but I have just seen forwards who are better than Ostlund. |
22 | | - | | Mesar is a good all around winger who is a versatile forward and could be a good middle 6'er for the Penguins in a few years. |
23 | | | | The Ducks took a forward earlier in the draft so they can take a D-Man here. Nelson still has to work on his defensive ability, but his offensive ability is really good already. He can be the Ducks future PP defenseman. |
24 | | - | | Howard is a great all around winger has top 6 potential with his great shot and drive in the O-Zone. This would be a great guy for Tampa to pick up for their future. |
25 | | - | | Snuggerud is a big offensive scoring winger who can play his role throughout the ice. This would be a great player for the Wild's future top 6. |
26 | | | | Ohgren is a good solid all around winger who can be good for Montreal's future top 9. |
27 | | - | | Perevalov has a really complete game with scoring and defensive upside and could be a great piece in Blue's top 9. |
28 | | - | | Kasper is a really good playmaking center who has top 6 upside and I think he can go higher than this, but he will be great for New York's future. |
29 | | | | Arizona should take a D-Man here because of their already stacked offense. Big Defenseman who uses his size to play excellent Defense with still having some offensive skill. |
30 | | - | | As a D-Man Hutson can kind of do it all and his 1 big problem is his size. But once he bulks up in a few years he will be a really good complete D-Man. |
31 | | | | Pickering is a really solid all around D-Man and once he takes a few years to get his game even more complete he can be a solid top 6 or top 4 D-Man. |
32 | | | | Solid 2-Way center who can score and pass. He seems to have top 6 potential. |
