Please keep in regard this will be one of the busiest Draft every due to the Expansion and Vegas so there will be many more moves Picks.
Here it is...
Team -- # ------- Player: ---------- Reason:
1. Nolan Patrick - C : He's got the best IQ in this Draft and can be a Franchise Player if he progresses properly, and New Jersey needs a face to start their Franchise.
2. Nico Hischier - C : Obviously, he in in my mind is the best player in this draft, he's got Elite hands, quickness and smarts and will be Elite right of the hop.
3. Miro Heiskanen - LD : Best Overall Defenseman in the draft, he has smooth skating and does well in all categories as a defender.
4. Gabe Vilardi - C : He doesn't have the upside that Patrick has as a Offensive force and isn't as solid Defensively either but in no way is that saying he's not great because he's what any team is and would be looking for in a 200 Foot Top 6 Center.
5. Cale Makar - RD : He might not be the best but he's got arguably the best upside in the draft and is the best offensive force as a defender who has allot of speed and explosiveness garnered by a wicked shot as well.
6. Cody Glass - C/RW : This guy is sold everywhere and has the potential to be Elite if given the time and patience and the Golden Knights have deep connections to Winnipeg(the GM scouted him as a very young kid).
7. Casey Mittelstadt - C/W : This guy is all about the upside and might have one of the highest ones in the draft, he's got all the tools accept athleticism but the real question is how has done so well with lacking that and how well will he do if he gets it, not to mention Coyotes at the moment are all about upside.
8. Owen Tippett - RW : Give Eichel a great shot and this is it.
9. Elias Petterson - C/W : Wings need a Center and a Defenseman but the talent for defence isn't there so they pick the best player who can possible play in the middle.
10. Eeli Tolvanen - W : Just as I said for Eichel and the Sabres I will say for Barkov and the Panthers, you give Barkov the best Shot in this draft and they will rack points up like you won't believe, plus he's Finnish and that might add some crisp to the pick.
11. Nick Suzuki - C/W : The Kings need an Offensive force and this is the best option for them where they are in the Draft.
12. Martin Necas - C : BCA, Best Center Available and could easily be a Top 6 in th w next couple seasons.
13. Timothy Liljegren - RD : Ohhhh... Vegas would be licking they're fingers for this one because he could be a Franchise Defender in the making with his abilities if he really works and becomes the player we thought he could be a season ago.
14. Callan Foote - RD : Lightning need Defensemen and this guy could be a sold Top Pairing guy in the future beside Herman.
15. Juuso Valimaki - LD : Vegas take the BPA and someone who could work beside Liljegren in the future and work wonders with that being said.
16. Erik Brannstrom - LD : Flames need LD and he's the best available for that spot and has so many tools in his shed it's not even funny.
17. Kailer Yamamoto - C/W : This guy is arguably the best Offensively gifted player in the Draft and reminds me allot of Marner(a little fast but shorter none the less), Toronto would absolutely LOVE this kid and he could potentially help Toronto rearrange they're Top 6 and First Line.
18. Ryan Phoeling - C/W : Bruins take the safe route with the BPA who happens to be a Center a team need.
19. Lias Andersson - LW : Sharks pick up the Best player available with an absolute steal here and sharpen up they're front lines for the future.
20. Michael Rasmussen - C : Blues take the Best potential player available with allot of size and skill and fills a positional need as well.
21. Urho Vakanainen - LD : Rangers fill a need with the best defender left on the board
22. Kristian Vesalainen - LW : McDavid doesn't need to many weapons but this similar to Toronto's mocked pick is very much for the same reason, this will help Edmonton if Draisaitl go's back to Center or even if he doesn't, just helps the situation.
23. Nick Hague - RD : Coyotes pick the best defender available in a huge 6'5" and high potential defenseman who could one day be a Top Pairing D-Man.
24. Jake Oettinger - G : Jets take the safe and the smart route, they pick the Best Goalie in the Draft for insurance that Hellebuyck or Comrie will one day become a great goalie, if not the Jets have another Elite Goalie Prospect who looks a lot like Price, and if all go's right in the future the Jets have a scary Goalie tandem behind a scary good team or have great trading pieces(Hellebuyck, Oettinger and Comrie).
25. Kim Kostin - RW : Habs pick up a Winger who can bring Offence beside Drouin one day and this is a heck of a steal if he plays to his potential.
26. Josh Norris - C : Most athletic player in the draft hands down, and can potentially provide for Chicago one day.
27. Robert Thomas - C/W : Blues take a statistical point of view and pick another need at Center hoping if one doesn't work you have a sheet to fall on and if both work that it's a perfect situation.
28. Isaac Ratcliffe - LW : Sens pick up a great and towering Winger with loads of potential.
29. Shane Bowers - C/W : Dallas selects a solid hard working Forward who has potential and will likely one day play in the Top 9 amongst Forwards.
30. Jason Robertson - W : Robertson has such a tool set and has so much talent he has one deficiency in skating, that if fixed might have boosted him through the rankings and if improved could make him Neal's future replacement.
31. Mike Dipeitro - G : This is a fun pick and the Pens get allot of attitude and presence with this one as Dipeitro is the second best Goalie in the draft and have the peices to pay the price for a Elite Level Goalie Prospect who could one day make the best Goalie tandem in the league with Murray, When One Door Closes Another Door Opens...
