2 | ![Chicago Blackhawks Logo of the Chicago Blackhawks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/chicago_blackhawks.svg) | - | | The Blackhawks are no longer at best pick available stage, so that’s why they don’t need a piece to build around, they have Bedard. They take Levshunov as more of a championship level prospect who they can build the backend around |
3 | ![Anaheim Ducks Logo of the Anaheim Ducks](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/anaheim_ducks_24.svg) | - | | Buium is a left shot defenseman who is a winner, and that’s what Verbeek would want. He plays a great two way game and could be what Drysdale wasn’t |
4 | ![Columbus Blue Jackets Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/columbus_blue_jackets.svg) | - | | Demidov makes too much sense for the Jackets, they want a game breaker to play along Fantilli on the first line, in a couple years you could be looking at a Stamkos/Kucherov type of duo |
5 | ![Montreal Canadiens Logo of the Montreal Canadiens](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/montreal_canadiens.svg) | - | | Montreal has size, and they want size, and thats why they are taking Lindstrom to impose their physical, demanding forward group alongside Slafkovskiy. |
6 | ![Utah Hockey Club Logo of the Utah Hockey Club](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/utah_hockey_club.svg) | - | | Silayev just fits the mold of a player the Coyotes or Utah want, Russian, full of size, can move the puck. Should be solid for them. |
7 | ![Ottawa Senators Logo of the Ottawa Senators](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/ottawa_senators_21.svg) | - | | Elite puck moving defensemen can change a franchise, just look at Cale Makar or Quinn Hughes, or even Erik Karlsson. This pick makes a lot of sense for the Sens. |
8 | ![Seattle Kraken Logo of the Seattle Kraken](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/seattle_kraken.svg) | - | | Dickinson is a big, mature, defensemen, exactly what Seattle wants. |
9 | ![Calgary Flames Logo of the Calgary Flames](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/calgary_flames.svg) | - | | His dad was a Flame, and why not keep it rolling, the best available player at this spot, a spot where the Flames are at. |
10 | ![New Jersey Devils Logo of the New Jersey Devils](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/new_jersey_devils.svg) | - | | New Jersey needs a lethal shooter, thats why they took Holtz in 2020 but he hasn’t been as a efficient or has as much upside as a Eiserman |
11 | ![Buffalo Sabres Logo of the Buffalo Sabres](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/buffalo_sabres_21.svg) | - | | Helenius is the most complete player in this draft, if Buffalo wants to make a playoff push in the future, which they have the pieces to do, I think Helenius is the pick |
12 | ![Philadelphia Flyers Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/philadelphia_flyers.svg) | - | | Solberg is going to be underrated in this draft, should be a good pick for Briere and the Flyers |
13 | ![Minnesota Wild Logo of the Minnesota Wild](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/minnesota_wild.svg) | - | | Sennecke is the best player available at this spot |
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) | | The Sharks don’t need to many more offense men at this point, so they should go after a defenseman, the best defenseman available. |
15 | ![Detroit Red Wings Logo of the Detroit Red Wings](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/detroit_red_wings.svg) | - | | Berkly should be a good center for the Wings that can develop to be a complimentary player to the Wings core. |
16 | ![St. Louis Blues Logo of the St. Louis Blues](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/st_louis_blues.svg) | - | | Greentree has scoring upside and should be able to put up good numbers at this spot, again, he is the best player available |
17 | ![Washington Capitals Logo of the Washington Capitals](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/washington_capitals.svg) | - | | Another center for the Caps, should be a good one two punch down the road with him and McMichael. |
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) | | Brandsegg-Nygard will be the right wing for Bedard and Kurashev, he will be able to finish the puck for the Hawks. Slam dunk pick for Kyle. |
19 | ![Vegas Golden Knights Logo of the Vegas Golden Knights](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/vegas_golden_knights.svg) | - | | Left wing who will probably end up being a trading piece for the Knights. |
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) | | The Islanders picked Aatu Raty in 2021 who was #1 early then fell off, and thats the same case as Kiviharju, who they could develop into a good player. |
21 | ![Los Angeles Kings Logo of the Los Angeles Kings](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/los_angeles_kings_24.svg) | - | | Best player available |
22 | ![Nashville Predators Logo of the Nashville Predators](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/nashville_predators.svg) | - | | The Preds have historically built around their backend. Cole Hutson could potentially be a piece to watch out for- puck moving defenseman |
23 | ![Toronto Maple Leafs Logo of the Toronto Maple Leafs](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/toronto_maple_leafs.svg) | - | | If the Leafs want to win in the playoffs, they need more fundamentally sound players, and that is EJ Emery on the backend |
24 | ![Colorado Avalanche Logo of the Colorado Avalanche](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/colorado_avalanche.svg) | - | | Best player available |
25 | ![Boston Bruins Logo of the Boston Bruins](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/boston_bruins.svg) | - | | Best player available |

27 | ![Carolina Hurricanes Logo of the Carolina Hurricanes](https://cdn2.capfriendly.com/images/logos/carolina_hurricanes.svg) | - | | Defenseman who should help the Canes in the future with his 2 way play. |
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) | | Best player available |
