I am only going to consider players picked after ours for my list as we do that all the time with picks, maybe that's how it already works I don't know.
5 - Elias Pettersson
33 - Aleksi Heponiemi
55 - Joni Ikonen
64 - Michael DiPietro
95 - Scott Reedy
135 - Sebastian Aho
181 - Alexander Chmelevski
188 - Ben Jones
Other players I really wanted:
Erik Brannstrom
Denis Smirnov
Igor Shvyryov
Pretty good draft.
Pettersson is a stud
Heponiemi is progressing really well and looks to be a future stud for FLA
Ikonen got unfortunate with injuries but came back and showed well - huge year for him upcoming
DiPietro is doing good, liked the pick
Reedy has been very meh for University of Minnesota. My worst pick of the bunch.
Aho is killing the AHL as a dman. He got passed over way too much and he’s showing why.
Chmelevski has a good junior career and is heading to the AHL next year - still another year or two to see where he’s at
Jones - see above
3/8 look like solid future players, and that’s typically an outstanding draft. 2/8 look like sure fire top end NHLers (Petey/Hepo) and even that usually seems like a win.
