I’m not much of a scout, most of my opinions are formed by stat watching and reading reports on the players. With that being said I’m gonna give it a shot.
- Jack Hughes
New Jersey lucks our getting the top pick and they waist no time picking Hughes. Him and Nico should be a strong duo down the middle for the next 10-15 years.
Projection: PPG C
- Kappo Kakko
New York goes with the BPA in Kakko. Fits the mold of big skilled players they have been drafting and acquiring the last couple years.
Projection - PPG RW
- Bowen Byram
Yes the Hawks are loaded on the back end, but you can’t pass up a potential number one guy. With this pick the Hawks should be set on the back end for years to come.
Projection - High end 2D
- Alex Turcotte
Turcotte is a very fast, smart two way centre. If they pick him it’ll feel a lot like having Ryan O’Rielly back.
Projection - 60 point two way C
- Vasili Podkolzin
The Russian factor makes him drop a little, but LA doesn’t mind. They are looking pretty good up the middle so taking a high potential winger doesn’t bother them.
Projection - 65 point winger
- Kirby Dach
They took Veleno has year, but can never be to strong down the middle. Dach is a strong playmaker, very large player, and when he’s on his game looks unstoppable.
Projection - 60 point C
- Dylan Cozens
There seems to be questions about if he’s going to be a winger or centre in the NHL. He’s large, very fast, and has a great shot. They will be happy with this pick.
Projection - 50 point winger
- Peyton Krebs
His size and playing on a bad team makes him drop which works out great for Edmonton. I’m personally very high on Krebs besides being on the small side he plays the way every team wants.
Projection - 65 point two way C
- Cole Caufield
Anaheim has never been afraid to go off the board to get the player they like and it often turns out good for them. They need a difference maker at this point and Caufield has the best chance to be that player.
Projection - 35 goal winger
- Trevor Zegras
Last time Vancouver took a playmaking centre in the top ten it paid off well, this time I think it’ll also look like a good pick.
Projection - 50 point centre/winger
- Victor Soderstrom
Philly has a strong young core of defence, but never hurts to add especially when many of those defencemen are lefties. Soderstrom is a great pick, strong two way defenceman.
Projection - 2nd pairing defenceman
- Arthur Kailyev
They take a big swing here as a team in need of major offence. Kailyev has crazy production, but there are questions about his skating and effort. I think in the 1st teams should always be picking for skill.
Projection - 50 point LW
- Matthew Boldy
I think Boldy will slip out of the top ten because teams might see him as a passenger on a very strong team. I agree that of the four forwards on his team picked before him he will likely be the weakest, but still a fine pick at 13.
Projection - 40 point LW
- Alex Newhook
Arizona this season showed that they need scoring badly. They take a bit of a risker pick because Newhook played in a lesser league. Newhook has speed for days and high potential to pay off.
Projection - 40 point winger.
- Ville Heinola
Left handed defenceman, check. Finnish, check. That’s all Montreal needs to see to make this pick. Heinola did very well in a men’s league and is the smart pick at this spot.
