1. Edmonton – Adam Larsson
He's the rock Edmonton needs if he becomes what I see in him.

2. Colorado – RNH
Caught off guard by Edmonton's pick. Stastny-Duchene-RNH-OReilly is a nice problem.

3. Florida – Gabriel Landeskog
Florida builds its future offense around heart and soul guy who does it all.

4. New Jersey – Jonathan Huberdeau
Has outclassed Couturier IMO.

5. NY Islanders – Sean Couturier
Tavares-Couturier

6. Ottawa - Mika Zibanejad
Swedish wiz and physical center. Exactly what Ottawa needs.

7. Winnipeg - Ryan Strome
Winnipeg is the team that got screwed the most by NJ winning the lottery, Strome is good but I really like the top6 this year. IMO of course.

8. Columbus - Ryan Murphy
Special puck moving dman that BJs have needed forever.

9. Boston - Dougie Hamilton
Bruins need dmen and the 6'4 pain in the ass is the best player left.

10. Minnesota - Sven Bartschi
Bartschi is rising from everybody having seen the same Portland playoff games.

11. Colorado – Duncan Siemens
This kind of goes along with the RNH pick, north american defensive dman.

12. Carolina - Mark Scheifele
Best OHL/WHL forward avaible. I think the Skinner pick last year will help the Carolina scouting staff get the recognition they deserve, very good group.

13. Calgary – Joel Armia
Calgary type player.

14. Dallas – Nathan Beaulieu
Dallas builds slow and steady. Beaulieu has been consistent all year, nice future top4 pairing guy.

15. NY Rangers – Alexander Khoklachev
Not afraid of the russian factor the Rangers go for the homerun.

16. Buffalo – Zack Phillips
Reminds me the good Travis Zajac (I like Zajac), improving all year, liked his play for St John.

17. Montreal – JT Miller
American, safe, two say, that's a Montreal pick.

18. Chicago – Oscar Klefbom
That guy is a steal out of the top20.

19. Edmonton – Jamie Oleksiak
Edmonton goes for dmen homerun picks all the way :)

20. Phoenix – Mark McNeil
Not a favorite of mine but skill and size at 20 is nice.

21. Ottawa – Nicklas Jensen
Ottawa kind of player, I could easily have put him earlier though.

22. Anaheim – Jonas Brodin
Keep reading good things about this guy. Anaheim doesn't draft many euros but swedish guys are more and more dismissing that factor.

23. Pittsburgh – Matt Puempel
23 is still a good pick in this draft. If all the guys who could lit up with Crosby Malkin pan out the pens will keep being a juggernaut for a long time.

24. Detroit – Dmitrij Jaskin
This guy has Detroit gem written all over him.

25. Toronto – Boone Jenner
Burke kind of guy.

26. Washington – Vladislav Namestnikov
heeh I know russian to Washington but I watched my fair share of Knights game this year and liked this guy.

27. Tampa Bay – Rocco Grimaldi
St Louis 2.0

28. San Jose – David Musil
Good steady dman project

29. Toronto – Tyler Biggs
Another high reward Burke kind of guy.

30. Vancouver – Joe Morrow
Keep seeing this guy ranked high everywhere, don't know much about him.

No way Dallas takes Beaulieu with both McNeill and Oleksiak on the board.

Also, same as what was said above, RNH should be first.

Other than that, it looks pretty good.

Tavares and Couturier down the Center for the next decade or so would be a sweet deal IMO. I like Strome as well. Came around on the kid both Strome and Murphy have been my flavor of the month so-to-speak.

Still want Huberdeau the most but again the explanation for Couturier to the Islanders being "Tavares & Couturier" is more than enough for any Islanders fan.

why do you think that the Hawks will take Klefbom? If they go with a DMen and Oleksiak is still available I doubt they don't pick him
