Round 1
1. Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks) (Details: San Jose takes a big risk.).
2. Artyom Levshunov (Chicago Blackhawks) (Details: Amidst the rumours of Chicago being high on Levshunov, they pick him to solidify the future top 4 of their blueline.).
3. Zayne Parekh (Anaheim Ducks) (Details: Anaheim takes Parekh looking to fill the spot that became open when trading Drysdale.

Yakemchuk is another possibility.).
4. Cayden Lindstrom (Columbus Blue Jackets) (Details: Columbus doesn't pass up the opportunity to secure the center depth they've been looking for so long.

Fantilli/Lindstrom make this happen.).
5. Ivan Demidov (Montreal Canadiens) (Details: Arguably the most talented player in this draft? He doesn't fall any further as Montreal doesn't hesitate to build their forward future.).
6. Carter Yakemchuk (Utah Hockey Club) (Details: With a young forward core already drafted, taking a LHD in Simashev last year. It only makes sense for Utah to fill the right side of the blueline.).
7. Berkly Catton (Ottawa Senators) (Details: A team that could use a bit of everything simply selects the best player available.

My personal steal of the draft.).
8. Anton Silayev (Seattle Kraken) (Details: How can Seattle say no? With Wright &amp; Beniers ensuring the forward future. Seattle drafts a defenseman who will shut down plays &amp; make you hurt in the process.).
9. Tij Iginla (Calgary Flames) (Details: I mean this one just rights itself.).
10. Sam Dickinson (New Jersey Devils) (Details: For a team thats biggest need is a goalie, having the freedom to pick off want is a blessing.

Dickinson, Nemec, Hughes &amp; Casey are going to be a solid blueline.).
11. Cole Eiserman (Buffalo Sabres) (Details: Easily the best pure goalscorer in this draft, Buffalo being set on the blueline look to reap the potential rewards of Eiserman falling.).
12. Konsta Helenius (Philadelphia Flyers) (Details: With a forward core that's starting to age, Philadelphia restocks with 1 of the most intelligent players in this draft.

It was Helenius or Buium.).
13. Zeev Buium (Minnesota Wild) (Details: Purely based off needs. With a blueline that's getting older, Faber is going to need help &amp; what better way than one of the most offensively gifted defenseman in this draft?).
14. Beckett Sennecke (San Jose Sharks from Pittsburgh Penguins) (Details: With an open book to draft whatever they'd like, San Jose loads up the forward prospects with a big body playmaker.).
15. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: A player who's scored in every Swedish he's played? Yzerman is picks a player who fits his drafting mold perfectly.).
16. Stian Solberg (St. Louis Blues) (Details: St. Louis going forward heavy in the last few drafts make this pick pretty easy. They take a physical defenseman with hopes of sorting out their blueline woes.).
