Been working on this on my day off today. Damn is it tough to get finalized. Lots of tough calls, mostly later in the first round. Well, here it is:
1.
– Adam Larsson - The Oilers can’t pass on the chance to draft a franchise defenseman.
2.
– Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – The most talented offensive forward in the draft, and the Sens will have a great 1-2 punch with Spezza and RNH.
3.
– Sean Couturier – The best two way forward in the draft and a big body. Will be a nice fit on their second line behind Tavares.
4.
– Gabriel Landeskog – A great overall player who should fit into the Devils top six for years to come.
5.
– Ryan Strome – The Panthers still lack game changers up front. Strome can be that long term.
6.
– Dougie Hamilton – The Bruins pass on Ryan Murphy and take the bigger, slick skating two way defender in the Alex Pietrangelo mold.
7.
– Duncan Siemens – The Avs fill a massive franchise hole by taking the meanest and toughest defender in the draft in Duncan Siemens.
8.
– Tyler Biggs -- The big, tough power forward will add more size to the Blues top 6. Could turn into a Chris Stewart-type of player.
9. :thrashers – Mika Zibanejad – The big and physical centre should be a nice fit for the Thrahers down the road.
10.
– Jonathan Huberdeau – The Sabres laugh all the way to the bank as Huberdeau slides to them at 10th. They need the infusion of talent down the middle.
11.
– Brandon Saad – Carolina adds a big American winger who remains a pretty big question mark.
12.
– Scott Mayfield – With players like Brassard and Voracek up front, the Jackets still need to add to their defensive core. Mayfield does that.
13.
– Ryan Murphy – For me, it’s either Boston or the Rangers that grab him in the first 13 picks. Boston chooses Hamilton and the best offensive defender in the draft goes for a bit of a slide to 13th.
14.
– Matt Puempel – The sniper has had an up and down 2 seasons, but Chicago is happy to grab him.
15.
– Joel Armia – The big, rangy and raw goal scorer will be a great fit alongside 2010 draft pick Mikael Granlund.
16.
– Alex Khokhlachev – The Kings continue to add offense to their team by taking the dynamic and slick Russian.
17.
– Mark McNeill – McNeill’s game fits the city and the team’s profile. The gritty two way centre could be a great fit for the Flames second line down the road.
18.
– David Musil – The Stars hop at the chance to draft the safe, but unspectacular defense-first defender.
19.
– Ty Rattie – The Ducks are more than comfortable taking a very slick offensive player in Rattie.
20.
– Jamie Oleksiak – The Sharks continue to have nice pieces up front on their roster, but Oleksiak could be a game changer on their back end for years to come.
21. – Sven Bartschi – After adding RNH, the Sens are more than happy to bring in an excellent all-round winger in Bartschi.
22.
– Mark Scheifele – The Coyotes add more size and two way play to their forward crop with the addition of the Barrie Colts 6’3 centre.
23.
– Nathan Beaulieu – The Canadiens have a hard time passing on the slick two way defender with the French name. Haha.
24. – Matthew Nieto – The Bruins snap up the speedster who plays at Boston University.

– Nathan Beaulieu – The Canadiens have a hard time passing on the slick two way defender with the French name. Haha.24.
– Matthew Nieto – The Bruins snap up the speedster who plays at Boston University.
– Nicklas Jensen – Arguably the most talented player ever out of Denmark should fit nicely with the high flying capitals. 
– Rocco Grimaldi – No arguing that this guy is in the upper echelon skillwise, but who takes a chance on his size? It’s Tampa at 26.
– JT Miller – Could be a bit of a long term project. Wings have the time to wait for Miller.
– Shane Prince – A nice offensive player on the wing, something the Pens will need more of in the future.
– Daniel Catenacci – Leafs take the fastest player in the draft who is also good both ways and great on the PK. A safe pick for the Leafs.
– Myles Bell – Vancouver adds one of the best offensive defenseman in the draft with this goal scorer out of Regina. 
but a solid list, at the end of the day I think Bell goes higher-and I wouldn't exactly call him an all offense guy- he is a 2 way guy.
