1 | | - | | Easy choice, Celebrini stays close to his Dad in California |
2 | | - | | Demidov is intriguing, but Chicago goes with the best RHD available IMO. Levshunov and Korchinski will be the new Keith-Seabrook |
3 | | - | | Ducks are extremely happy Chicago goes defence, and takes the best forward available. A top-6 of Terry-McTavish-Demidov, Gauthier-Carlsson-Killorn, with Zegras and Strome as options is scary, especially with the talent on their blue line |
4 | | - | | CBJ could go any direction. Lindstrom is BPA for me at #4 |
5 | | - | | MTL takes Dickinson to pair with Reinbacher |
7 | | - | | Senators need defenceman, Zayne Parekh has the highest ceiling of the remaining available. |
8 | | - | | Could go Iginla but loaded up front with prospects. Buium best D available |
9 | | - | | Meant to be. |
10 | | - | | If he hits, could be scary good with Hughes. |
11 | | - | | Having a huge OHL Playoffs and fits the size profile Buffalo generally looks for. |
12 | | - | | Philly happy to get Helenius here at 12 |
13 | | - | | Catton's talented enough to go higher than this. Minnesota jumps on another young centre to pair with Marco Rossi long-term. |
14 | | | | San Jose could have one of the best first lines of the future with Eklund - Celebrini - Greentree, not to mention Will Smith, Quentin Musty or Kasper Halttunen. They'll worry about defence later |
15 | | - | | Detroit takes BPA |
16 | | - | | Hage had a terrific draft year that vaults him up to this range. |
17 | | - | | The Capitals have never been afraid of taking on controversial personalities. I can see them taking Connelly here, if available. |
18 | | - | | Has been a top player for Finland on the international stage for quite some time. |
19 | | - | | Despite being all-in seemingly every year, Vegas continues to add to a solid system with Hemming. |
20 | | | | Chicago can't pass up another defenceman with this pick if Jiricek is still here IMO. Bedard and co. will be fine up front. |
21 | | - | | Big centre, sound familiar? Struck out with Dubois why not try again, for significantly less money. |
22 | | - | | Parascak could be a steal here for Nashville. |
23 | | - | | Leafs could go any way here. I'd see value in trading down and ending up with Mews, so for the sake of this let's just put him here. |
24 | | | | More talent on defence for the Ducks. They can really exploit the trade market with the defensive prospects they have. |
25 | | - | | Already hav Cal, why not get Ryder (not related, I don't think) |
26 | | | | BPA |
27 | | | | Had an exceptional second half to the OHL season. Size, skill, NHL shot. Will vault up the draft boards in leadup to the draft. |
