ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-Obvious #1, Makes Zegras more expendable for an already amazing Ducks forward core
2Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks-Demidov would also make sense here but I think they want to shore up the backend since next year is a forward heavy draft
3Logo of the San Jose Sharks-Dickinson has been rising up draft boards and I think he'll only keep going up. Big body franchise Dman upside
4Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Columbus takes a stab here and gets the 2nd best player in this draft. Fantilli and Demidov will be a feared duo for years to come
5Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-This years Zach Benson. Undersized playmaker going to a forward needy team. Habs have a logjam at the backend and need some help up front
6Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-I believe Utah goes with the Chara-like guy here. Could have huge bust potential but also could be the best dman in this draft
7Logo of the Ottawa Senators-Senators have their Chabot and Sanderson on the left side but now have their Yakemchuk to pair on the right
8Logo of the Seattle Kraken-Another center to pair with Wright down the line make for a great 1-2 punch should both of them develop
9Logo of the Calgary Flames-I think Calgary's front office HAS to pick Iginla or the fan base will never forgive them. Makes too much sense and kid will be a stud
10Logo of the New Jersey Devils-I think New Jersey can't go wrong here with Parekh or Buium here but think they opt for Buium here. Having Casey and Nemec as their right-handed Dmen make it easier to pick a lefty here and make for a top 4 D core of nightmares for years to come
11Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-The fall stops here and the #Eiserplan. Benson and Eiserman should be able to combine for a solid top line of the future
12Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-I was stuck between Helenius and Parekh here but think the Flyers will look to target forwards next draft after such a deep defensive draft here
13Logo of the Minnesota Wild-Minnesota goes BPA available here and I believe thats Helenius. With the Mikko Koivu connection, a finnish player would fit in well here
14Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the Pittsburgh PenguinsI really think that San Jose would have loved Helenius so I could see a trade up here with Minny or Philly potentially to snag him but if not, I think Greentree makes for a solid pick along with Dickinson
15Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-This just seems like a Yzerman pick. A norweigan 2-way forward makes way too much sense here and I would be shocked if this isn't the pick come draft day
16Logo of the Washington Capitals-Blues pick here helps their backend.
17Logo of the St. Louis Blues-
18Logo of the New York Islanders-

Agreed. Seattle's going to take best D available if they are drafting in the 7-10 range.

I wouldn't be upset at all about them picking Lindstrom, nothing wrong with more C depth at this point. Seattle has some decent D prospects but they haven't picked a D with any of their previous 1st round picks, so they could use someone with top pairing potential. I would take Parekh or Buium in that spot given what you have left on the board.
