Best case scenario:
3. Kotkaniemi
35. Berggren
38. Beaudin
56. Hillis
62. Eriksson
66. Roman
97. Hall
102. Douglas
122. Utunen
128. Chyzowski

Twas my 'wishlist'.

I really like our draft this year, liked the last 2 years as well, but this year, damn, seems something finally clicked into someone's head in the office, they went for skill first.

Now, the next list is who I would've picked instead of who was picked, and those that differ went after the aforementioned pick. Didn't include undrafted kids, went undrafted for a reason.

3- Kotkaniemi
35- Ylonen
38- Eriksson
56- Olofsson
66- Hillis
71- Lauko
97- McShane
123- Utunen
128- Jenkins
133- Nikolai Kovalenko
190- Marcus Westfalt

Ylonen, Olofsson, Hillis and McShane are pretty much those I would have picked at their respective spot, considering who went after. Others are a matter of preference, of course.

In a couple years, someone will bring that up, and we'll all laugh about it.

2) Best case scenario: (post draft)
3. Filip Zadina
35. Jesse Ylonen
38. Calen Addison
56. Niklas Nordgren
66. Cameron Hillis
71. Johnny Gruden
97. Allan McShane
123. Filip Kral
128. Cole Fonstad
133. Blade Jenkins
190. Nathan Dunkley

I'd offer a contract to Nyman but he plays really scared, not sure how well his game will translate to the NHL. Love his offensive tools/smarts tho.

Nothing against eagle-cape but I think we’re going to regret not taking Zadina
