1 | ![San Jose Sharks Logo of the San Jose Sharks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/san_jose_sharks.svg) | - | | Clear number 1 pick no argument according to everyone |
2 | ![Chicago Blackhawks Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/chicago_blackhawks.svg) | - | | Artyom gets drafted to Chicago to pair up with Korchinski to have a nice solid young pair of D-men Almost obvious choice. artyom needs to be picked by the Ducks. That might not be able to happen as Chicago has a lot of power with this pick, unless they want to create a solide first line to play alongside bedard. Which would be good also. But Importance wise, I think Artyom is the better player in this draft. Solid choice. |
3 | ![Anaheim Ducks Logo of the Anaheim Ducks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/anaheim_ducks_24.svg) | - | | The Ducks NEED a Defensemen with this pick. They have plenty of depth at their forwards and No way do they choose anything other than a RD and zayne Parekh is the top RD in this draft available after levshunov went to chicago. |
4 | ![Columbus Blue Jackets Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/columbus_blue_jackets.svg) | - | | With Demidov available and the blue jackets good up the middle and well spent on the defense side of things. I think with not having any really notable Right wingers on the team, this is gonna give the blue jackets a huge boost of offense and a should be contending teamen demidov hits his2nd or 3rd season. |
5 | ![Montreal Canadiens Logo of the Montreal Canadiens](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/montreal_canadiens.svg) | - | | They have good centers and good wingers and need more help on the defense. I think by adding Zeev is going to be the best option for montreal. If they pass on zeev, they'll take sam dickenson but ill go with zeev on my final answer |
6 | ![Utah Hockey Club Logo of the Utah Hockey Club](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/utah_hockey_club.svg) | - | | Utah needs anything really. But since they took Cooley early a few years ago, and are much better in their forward positions than their defense, it makes sense to take a defensemen in this pick |
7 | ![Ottawa Senators Logo of the Ottawa Senators](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/ottawa_senators_21.svg) | - | | with out a doubt the senators need a center more than any other position. Cayden Lindstrom is going to help that role for them more than any other player in this draft. |
8 | ![Seattle Kraken Logo of the Seattle Kraken](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/seattle_kraken.svg) | - | | This is the choice. Seattle has to draft a defensemen and sam dickenson is that man. |
9 | ![Calgary Flames Logo of the Calgary Flames](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/calgary_flames.svg) | - | | Theres no way the flames passup iginla. theres just no way |
10 | ![New Jersey Devils Logo of the New Jersey Devils](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_jersey_devils.svg) | - | | new jersey needs more center depth than anywhere else. Berkly Catton is the top Center in this draft available. |
11 | ![Buffalo Sabres Logo of the Buffalo Sabres](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/buffalo_sabres_21.svg) | - | | If they don't get a defensemen with this pick in Carter Yakemchuk. They get Cole Eiserman. I think they need a winger more so than another defensemen considering the picked up bowen byram during the season. thats why eiserman would be the best bet. |
12 | ![Philadelphia Flyers Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/philadelphia_flyers.svg) | - | | The flyers just got Jaimie Drysdale but in previous drafts have picked nothing but wingers and they are doing on on their center positions andobviously stacked at the winger position. Carter Yakemchuk is the choice.Great one at that |
13 | ![Minnesota Wild Logo of the Minnesota Wild](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/minnesota_wild.svg) | - | | this should be a quick pick as they need more help down the middle than anywhere else. No brainer with sacha to help fill that void. |
14 | ![San Jose Sharks Logo of the San Jose Sharks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/san_jose_sharks.svg) | ![Pittsburgh Penguins Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/pittsburgh_penguins.svg) | | Konsta is still available shockingly at number 14. Theres no way the sharks dont get this guy to start a nice solid line with celebrini or even Smith.anotehr quick and easy choice. |
15 | ![Detroit Red Wings Logo of the Detroit Red Wings](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/detroit_red_wings.svg) | - | | Greentree has good performance in getting points as well as playing with the older crew. More so than a lot of other available wingers in the draft. Good pick for The red wings. |
16 | ![St. Louis Blues Logo of the St. Louis Blues](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/st_louis_blues.svg) | - | | the blues need depth at center and this couldnt be a better choice at this part in the draft for them. |
17 | ![Washington Capitals Logo of the Washington Capitals](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/washington_capitals.svg) | - | | this is as far down as becket is going to be drafted. since ovechkin is about done. They still have good wingers on their team butbeckett sennecke is the best option for anyteam to take at this point in the draft. Excellent pick by washington. |
18 | ![Chicago Blackhawks Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/chicago_blackhawks.svg) | ![New York Islanders Logo of the New York Islanders](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_islanders.svg) | | check out this guys stats all around including in u18 and u16 leagues. He dominates everywhere. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets draft way higher than this, but if not, chicago has to take him here to get that solid line with bedard and or on the 2nd line. Excellent pick. |
19 | ![Vegas Golden Knights Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/vegas_golden_knights.svg) | - | | Wing position is what the golden knights need. this pick suits them well. |
20 | ![New York Islanders Logo of the New York Islanders](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_islanders.svg) | ![Tampa Bay Lightning Logo of the Tampa Bay Lightning](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/tampa_bay_lightning.svg) | | It was either jiricek or cole hutson with this pick. i had to choose one but either i think would be good as the islanders have to go with a defensemen. |
21 | ![Los Angeles Kings Logo of the Los Angeles Kings](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/los_angeles_kings_24.svg) | - | | The kings could go defense or winger with this pick. but basha has a nice skill called scoring points.so i think the kings take him in this pick. |
22 | ![Nashville Predators Logo of the Nashville Predators](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/nashville_predators.svg) | - | | I was going to say center because they seem to have a lot and no one has been a clear choice poissibly? but the wing position might better suffice for them and ryder ritchie seems to be that player. good pick |
23 | ![Toronto Maple Leafs Logo of the Toronto Maple Leafs](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/toronto_maple_leafs.svg) | - | | Defense or wing position for the maple leafs? well nylander and marner are pretty good at the RW for now, and their defense maybe could use more depth than the wing, so cole hutson is a good choice. |
24 | ![Colorado Avalanche Logo of the Colorado Avalanche](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/colorado_avalanche.svg) | - | | avalanche would have a bad choice by going with a center. |
25 | ![Ottawa Senators Logo of the Ottawa Senators](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/ottawa_senators_21.svg) | ![Boston Bruins Logo of the Boston Bruins](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/boston_bruins.svg) | | i think emil hemming was the best available player. and still a good choice to play maybe along side their new center in lindstrom |
26 | ![Montreal Canadiens Logo of the Montreal Canadiens](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/montreal_canadiens.svg) | ![Winnipeg Jets Logo of the Winnipeg Jets](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/winnipeg_jets.svg) | | teh canadiens choose whoever they want and for some reason they are considered special. must be because they are the yankees of hockey. picking trevor connelly at 26, if he makes it this far down, is such a good pick for any team, let alone the special canadiens |
27 | ![Carolina Hurricanes Logo of the Carolina Hurricanes](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/carolina_hurricanes.svg) | - | | I was thinking defender or winger, but aron might be a better player left on the board then my next winger choice in igor chernyshov. |
28 | ![Calgary Flames Logo of the Calgary Flames](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/calgary_flames.svg) | ![Vancouver Canucks Logo of the Vancouver Canucks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/vancouver_canucks.svg) | | Picking Igor chernyshov to play with iginla? I think so. |
29 | ![Anaheim Ducks Logo of the Anaheim Ducks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/anaheim_ducks_24.svg) | ![Edmonton Oilers Logo of the Edmonton Oilers](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/edmonton_oilers.svg) | | ducks have toget that defense great or they are going to be a worthless team with a bunch of good offensive players and not a balanced side of defenders to make them a winning team. |
30 | ![Philadelphia Flyers Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/philadelphia_flyers.svg) | ![Florida Panthers Logo of the Florida Panthers](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/florida_panthers.svg) | | this pick could pair up nicely with the first player the flyers chose in the draft, yakemchuk |
31 | ![Dallas Stars Logo of the Dallas Stars](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/dallas_stars.svg) | - | | not sure how long pavelski is going to be there for so maybe getting a defender to add to their depth is not such a bad idea. |
32 | ![New York Rangers Logo of the New York Rangers](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_york_rangers.svg) | - | | adding more depth to a team that doesnt really need it, what position is best? well any of them, but Leo Sahlin might be a good defender in the future for the rangers . |
