Standings are based on the date 2/27/18. I also ran a lottery
1.
selects Rasmus Dahlin D Frolunda HC (SHL)
Canucks winning the lottery? Highly unlikely, but since they did it would be an easy choice for them to select Dahlin.
2.
selects Andrei Svechnikov RW Barrie Colts (OHL)
After missing out on Dahlin they Coyotes go with the next best player in Svechnikov. Although, it wouldn't be a bad idea to select Boqvist with the 2nd Overall Pick, their RW depth is not very good.
3.
selects Filip Zadina RW Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL)
Yes, I know Zadina is not a center, but if the Habs trade away Pacioretty they'll need a future scoring winger, and since this is a draft not filled with elite center-man, the smartest plan is to select Zadina.
4.
selects Adam Boqvist D Bynas IF (SHL)
Even after dropping in the lottery the Sabres are able to select Adam Boqvist. Defense is most certainly the biggest need for the Sabres (other than a goalie) IMO. Having both Ristolainen, and Boqvist on that right-side will look very dangerous for other teams in the future.
5.
selects Evan Bouchard D London Knights (OHL)
That's right I have Bouchard in my Top 5, and it would make sense for the Sens to select him, if they end up trading Erik Karlsson. It was a toss-up between Bouchard, and Tkachuk, but the Sens have been drafting forwards in the 1st Round for the past couple years, so now would be a good time to add a right-handed defense-man to that pool.
6.
selects Brady Tkachuk LW/C Boston Univ. (NCAA)
Edmonton just needs all the wingers they can get, my goodness. Between Tkachuk, and Wahlstrom, I'm going to go ahead and say Peter Chiarelli is gonna select the bigger guy.
7.
selects Quinn Hughes D Univ. of Michigan (NCAA)
And the first pick to the new look Rangers is a left-handed defense-man who will hopefully replace Ryan McDonut as their new Top 2 defender. Tough choice between him and Dobson, but either way both look like their going to be really good defenders.
8.
selects Oliver Wahlstrom RW/C U.S. National U18 Team (USHL)
Chicago forward core is pretty bad, so adding a sniper like Wahlstrom would be perfect for them.
9.
selects Noah Dobson D Acadie-Bathurst Titan (QMJHL)
Perfect scenario for the Wings if they can grab Dobson with their selection. This draft was basically built to help the Red Wings solve their defensive issues.
10.
selects Joel Farabee LW U.S. National U18 Team (USHL)
After Dobson being selected I just feel that the Isles should take the best winger available and that would be Joel Farabee IMO.
11.
selects Joe Veleno C Drummondville Voltigeurs (QMJHL)
12.
selects Ty Smith D Spokane Chiefs (WHL)
13. (STL)
selects Jesper Kotkaniemi C Assat (Liiga)
14.
selects Rasmus Kupari C Karpat (Liiga)
15.
selects Bode Wilde D U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
16.
selects Akil Thomas C Niagara Ice Dogs (OHL)
17. (CGY) selects Jett Woo D Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL)
18.
selects Isac Lundestrom C Lulea IF (SHL)
19.
selects Barrett Hayton C Ste. Sault Marie Greyhounds (OHL)
20.
selects Jared McIsaac D Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL)
21.
selects Dominik Bokk LW Vaxjo Lakers (SHL)
22. selects Serron Noel RW Oshwawa Generals (OHL)
23.

27. (BOS) selects Jack McBain C Toronto Jr. Canadians (OJHL)
28. selects Calen Addison D Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL)
29. (NSH) selects K'Andre Miller D U.S National U18 Team (USHL)
30. (VGK) selects Martin Kaut RW HC Dynamo Pardubice (Czech.)
31. (TB) selects Benoit-Olivier Groulx LW Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL)
