Obviously, with the WJCs ahead of us and six months to go before draft day, this a crapshoot. I'm mostly doing this so we can look back on it and laugh in a few months.
Disclaimer: I'm no scout, and haven't done much research on any of these guys. This is merely for fun, an attempt to simulate the first round of the draft if it were to happen today.
That being said, I simulated the lottery via Tankathon and got these results: 1. Arizona, 2: Buffalo, 3: Colorado
The rest of the order is simply based on current standings; no conference finals and Stanley Cup predictions.
