I think Chayka will take D in the 2nd for the Yotes, but Hillis is as good as a guess as anyone else.

And of course, to Zadina dropping to five.

Fair thought, I think Arizona has better prospect depth at D then at C, hence the Hillis selection.

Nice job. I would love for LA to take Bokk in the first.

It was between Bokk and Berggren for me there. I think Bokk would be a lovely fit for the Kings.

i think the oilers hop on addison at #40 if he's still avaliable. he had a great playoff run with the canes and is great on the pp. small like smith, but also less risky then smith. the oilers need someone like that on the pp who can create passes and shoot the puck

I'm not the biggest fan of Addison but I can see the Oilers targeting him if they select someone like Barrett Hayton with their 1st pick. With Boqvist in the fold, I think adding a center like Foudy would be ideal, especially with his great skating.
