Let's go.
1) New York Rangers: Alexis Lafreniere
Because obviously.
2) Philadelphia Flyers: Quinton Byfield
Because he'll be traded anyway.
3) Edmonton Oilers: Cole Perfetti
Because the lesson of Claude Giroux looms large.
4) Detroit Red Wings: Jamie Drysdale
Because you don't trade down from 1 just to take another winger.
5) Boston Bruins: Tim Stutzle
Because it's a no brainer at 5.
6) Columbus Bluejackets: Lucas Raymond
Because hockey sense.
7) Montreal Canadiens: Marco Rossi
Because Tony doesn't have a top six pick.
8) Arizona Coyotes: Alexander Holtz
Because their best pick in the last ten years was probably another hard shooting Swede.
9) St. Louis Blues: Jake Sanderson
Because Chara and Buff are gone.
10) Detroit Red Wings: Yaroslav Askarov
Because rebuilds need goalies too.
11) Calgary Flames: Seth Jarvis
Because one Russian is gone, and the other feels too early here.
12) Minnesota Wild: Jack Quinn
13) Minnesota Wild: Anton Lundell
14) Minnesota Wild: Connor Zary
Because one of them has to improve his skating enough to be an impact player, right? Right?
15) Philadelphia Flyers: Dawson Mercer
Because he'll be traded anyway.
16) Minnesota Wild: Kaiden Guhle
Because surely one of the four has to be a defenceman.
17) Los Angeles Kings: Noel Gunler
Because I see a lot of Swedes on that prospect list.
18) Nashville Predators: Brendan Brisson
19) Nashville Predators: JJ Peterka
Because one can help with Shorty, and the other because Bavaria is only a couple hours drive away.
20) Philadelphia Flyers: Mavrik Bourque
Because he'll be traded anyway.
21) Ottawa Senators: Rodion Amirov
Because top six upside is hard to find.
22) Carolina Hurricanes: Dylan Holloway
Because he'll go West and I'm not convinced he'd take a Kaeden Korczak upgrade in Schneider.
23) New York Islanders: Braden Schneider
Because somebody has to take this surefire top 15 NHL pick.
24) Vancouver Canucks: Jacob Perreault
Because I've used my late first on an OHLer every year since 2015.
25) Ottawa Senators: Ryan O'Rourke
Because eventually we'll start a run on defencemen.
26) Philadelphia Flyers: Jan Mysak
Because he'll be traded anyway.
27) Florida Panthers: Hendrix Lapierre
Because with depth comes the privilege to take risks.
28) Winnipeg Jets: Kasper Simontaival
Because I don't know what Keith will do but he took Puistola last year.
29) Carolina Hurricanes: Ozzy Weisblatt
Because somebody gets to take the best story in the class.
30) New York Islanders: Ridly Greig
Because his stock seems to be rising even without hockey being played.
31) Tampa Bay Lightning: Emil Andrae
Because when you win the Cup, you don't care if your undersized d-man can't skate.
