The primary night time of the draft bought off to an thrilling begin, because the Ottawa Senators acquired winger Alex DeBrincat from the Chicago Blackhawks for the No. 7 choose, No. 39 choose and a third-round choose in 2024.

Crew: TPS (FINLAND) | Rank: INTS1
DOB: 3/30/2004 | Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 218 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 31 | G: 5 | A: 5
How he suits: Shane Wright was the de facto No. 1 choose for years main as much as this draft. Followers of groups seeking to tank tweeted #PainForShane. However in the long run, it is the Slovakian winger who goes first total. The 6-3 winger made a spectacular impression in worldwide play on the Beijing Winter Olympics and the world championships. He isn’t going to run over anyone regardless of his dimension; it is his pace that makes him distinctive. This can be a choose about what Slafkovsky can change into, not for what he’s. As one draft observer informed me lately, he has “all of the instruments with out the toolbox” for the time being. However his ceiling is excessive — excessive sufficient, it appears, for the Canadiens to decide to not do the Wright factor. — Wyshynski
Crew: Nitra (SLOVAKIA) | Rank: INTS3
DOB: 2/15/2004 | Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 190 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 39 | G: 1 | A: 25
How he suits: With Slafkovsky off the board, the Devils handed over facilities Wright and Logan Cooley to pick out puck-moving defenseman Nemec. That is back-to-back Slovaks within the prime two picks, they usually had been 2022 Olympic teammates. Nemec is a right-handed defenseman who was thought-about one of many “plug-and-play” choices within the prime 10 for his NHL-readiness. He had six factors in eight video games on the world championship, and performed three seasons as a professional in Slovakia. That is the fourth time previously 5 years the Devils have drafted a defenseman within the first spherical after Luke Hughes (2021), Shakir Mukhamadullin (2020) and Ty Smith (2018). With Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer, the Devils could have believed they had been set at heart. With Nemec becoming a member of these younger defensemen and star Dougie Hamilton, they’re solidifying the again finish. — Wyshynski

The New Jersey Devils make Simon Nemec the latest member of the group with the No. 2 choose.
Crew: US U-18 (NTDP) | Rank: NAS2
DOB: 5/4/2004 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 174 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 51 | G: 27 | A: 48
How he suits: The Coyotes had their choose of Wright and Cooley. They opted for the USA Hockey Nationwide Crew Improvement Program product in Cooley, as Wright’s plummet continued. Up to now, Cooley’s 5-10 body might need been a hindrance. Not in as we speak’s NHL. The sturdy two-way heart cites Patrick Kane as an inspiration for his play, however admits he wants some work on his long-range taking pictures to hit that stage of goal-scorer. The Coyotes want … effectively, every little thing. In Cooley, they get a participant who has extra offensive upside than Wright, in accordance with many scouts. He had 75 factors in 51 video games this season. — Wyshynski
Crew: Kingston (OHL) | Rank: NAS1
DOB: 1/5/2004 | Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 191 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 63 | G: 32 | A: 62
How he suits: Wright’s slide to No. 4 needed to really feel excruciating. For years, the Kingston Frontenacs heart was projected to be this draft’s prime prospect. He was simply the sixth participant to ever be granted distinctive standing within the OHL and put up 39 targets and 66 factors in 58 video games as a 15-year-old freshman en path to profitable rookie of the yr.
After the COVID-19 pandemic price him the entire 2020-21 season, he returned in 2021-22 with an underwhelming begin that produced solely 22 factors in 19 video games. He completed sturdy with 94 factors in 63 video games however many scouts (rightly) started predicting Wright had opened the door for others to unseat him because the consensus No. 1. That is precisely what occurred. New Jersey had the No. 2 and did not want one other heart; Arizona went with a special heart at No. 3.
The Kraken lastly pulled Wright off the board. Whereas not a generational expertise, Wright has the potential to develop right into a No. 1 heart. At 6-0 and 191 kilos, Wright possesses good dimension and is a powerful skater who’s impressively elusive with quickness to beat defenders to pucks. Add to that wonderful hockey sense, excellent playmaking potential and end across the web.
Little question his slide down the draft board will encourage Wright when he does attain the NHL. And he is probably nearer to being NHL-ready than most No. 4 picks. That is excellent news for the growth Kraken, who can mould Wright right into a franchise centerpiece. — Shilton
Crew: US U-18 (NTDP) | Rank: NAS3
DOB: 1/19/2004 | Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 189 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 54 | G: 34 | A: 31
How he suits: Lastly, some predictability! Gauthier was tabbed for the Flyers right here in most mock drafts. He is a 6-2 ahead with an unimaginable shot launch who performed with Cooley on the event group. He drives the web effectively. He is no slouch defensively, and is aware of how you can use his body to win puck battles alongside the boards. Additionally his title is Cutter and he is a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, which simply appears good for some motive. — Wyshynski
Crew: Plzen (CZREP) | Rank: INTS4
DOB: 11/28/2003 | Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 189 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 29 | G: 5 | A: 6
How he suits: The Blue Jackets should be comfortable Jiricek fell to them at No. 6. Some scouts thought-about him the most effective defender on this draft class, even over Nemec. Jiricek is one other large, right-shot defender with a heavy shot and bodily edge. The 18-year-old has offensive potential too, with 5 targets and 11 factors in 29 video games with Plzen HC final season. The Blue Jackets’ again finish has wanted a face-lift since shedding Seth Jones in a commerce previous to final yr’s draft — and mockingly, Columbus used one of many picks acquired in that transfer to usher in Jiriceck, who may change into a blue-line cornerstone. — Shilton
Crew: Seattle (WHL) | Rank: NAS7
DOB: 6/21/2004 | Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 185 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 67 | G: 4 | A: 61
How he suits: The primary large mover on the draft board. Many felt that Korchinski would fall simply exterior the highest 10, however his title was getting talked about with frequency by draft insiders as somebody who may rocket up the board. The Blackhawks acquired this choose from the Senators within the Alex DeBrincat commerce and used it on Korchinski, a 6-2 left-handed defenseman. He is bought a ton of offensive upside, as proven in his 65-point season in 67 video games. The Blackhawks are in a teardown. Korchinski will be an necessary piece in constructing them again up. — Wyshynski
Crew: Rogle (SWEDEN) | Rank: INTS5
DOB: 4/8/2004 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 183 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 46 | G: 7 | A: 4
How he suits: Crimson Wings GM Steve Yzerman bought his man in Austrian skater Kasper, who was thought-about the highest European heart on this yr’s draft class. Kasper, 18, reduce his tooth final season within the SHL and produced seven targets and 11 factors towards powerful competitors. He is a high-motor man who can excel within the cycle sport and protects the puck effectively. Kasper’s offensive numbers could not bounce off the web page however what he lacks in flash he makes up for with good decision-making, defensive edge and competitiveness. Seems like a superb match for the Motor Metropolis — Shilton
Crew: Winnipeg (WHL) | Rank: NAS4
DOB: 1/1/2004 | Ht: 5-9 | Wt: 175 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 65 | G: 35 | A: 55
How he suits: Probably the most gifted offensive gamers within the draft. He is bought an incredible mixture of pace and talent and had 90 factors in 65 video games final season for the Winnipeg Ice. A terrific passer with a strong wrist shot whereas in stride, Savoie joins a rising assortment of gifted forwards to associate with potential franchise defenseman Owen Energy on the again finish. — Wyshynski
Crew: Saginaw (OHL) | Rank: NAS6
DOB: 11/25/2003 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 197 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 67 | G: 17 | A: 45
How he suits: There was plenty of hypothesis that the Geese would find yourself with Korchinski right here. The Blackhawks took him at No. 7, so Anaheim went with the subsequent highest left-side defenseman in Mintyukov. He is a strong offensive defenseman, with terrific passing abilities via visitors. His 62 factors in 67 video games for Saginaw final season included 45 assists. — Wyshynski
Crew: Winnipeg (WHL) | Rank: NAS5
DOB: 5/5/2004 | Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 196 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 63 | G: 24 | A: 46
How he suits: Arizona wouldn’t be denied drafting Geekie. The Coyotes traded for San Jose’s No. 11 total choose in trade for picks No. 27, No. 34 and No. 45. Why not? Geekie is a superb selection. The 6-3 heart had 24 targets and 70 factors in 63 video games with the WHL’s Winnipeg Ice final season. He is nonetheless a uncooked expertise, however with nice potential, possessing a singular talent set that has combined dimension and pace to wonderful returns in his junior hockey profession. He’ll have an incredible sounding board in older brother Morgan, a middle for the Kraken, when the time comes for his personal transition to the professionals. — Shilton
Crew: Moose Jaw (WHL) | Rank: NAS14
DOB: 7/12/2004 | Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 188 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 65 | G: 13 | A: 51
How he suits: Attention-grabbing choose right here for the Blue Jackets. Mateychuk wasn’t projected to go fairly this excessive. However with Korchinski and Mintyukov off the board — and Columbus’ need to go protection — Mateychuk was the selection. He likes to get entangled within the play, generally a lot in order that it turns into a detriment in overcommitting. The important thing will probably be to determine when to steer the frenzy and when to be extra conservative. However that is correctable. His defensive sport is nice and he has a excessive hockey IQ. The Columbus again finish was gutted when the group traded Seth Jones and David Savard away in recent times. It appears quite a bit higher now with David Jiricek and Denton Mateychuk prepared to affix Zach Werenski and Adam Boqvist. — Wyshynski
Crew: US U-18 (NTDP) | Rank: NAS21
DOB: 1/14/2004 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 175 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 56 | G: 28 | A: 42
How he suits: Chicago plucked one other U.S. nationwide group growth program participant in Nazar. What the Detroit native lacks in dimension, he makes up for in tenacity, pace and agility. Nazar confirmed off his explosive potential popping in 28 targets and 70 factors in 56 video games, and was reliably relentless in each aspect of his sport. Nazar’s instincts stand out too, in the way in which he can really feel and elude strain from defensemen to create house. Nazar may become an impactful top-six skater for the Blackhawks as he continues including energy and honing the abilities in his repertoire. He is related in methods to the participant Chicago traded away earlier within the day, DeBrincat. The Blackhawks can be fortunate to see Nazar develop into an identical form of difference-maker. — Shilton
Crew: US U-18 (NTDP) | Rank: NAS22
DOB: 3/30/2004 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 200 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 54 | G: 35 | A: 34
How he suits: The Jets chosen McGroarty surprisingly excessive at No. 14. However there’s quite a bit to love in regards to the Lincoln, Nebraska, native. On the ice, he performs a rugged energy ahead sport that pulls comparisons to Matthew Tkachuk. McGroarty brings management potential as effectively from captaining the USNTDP program. He pocketed 35 targets and 69 factors in 54 video games final season, which represented a big bounce in his growth (19 factors in 30 video games) from the earlier marketing campaign. McGroarty’s mixture of dimension, physicality and talent suits Winnipeg’s fashion. — Shilton
Crew: Djurgarden (SWEDEN) | Rank: INTS6
DOB: 7/24/2004 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 165 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 26 | G: 7 | A: 2
How he suits: Lekkerimaki may have simply been a top-10 choose on this draft. He had 15 factors in eight video games to steer the under-18 world championship, together with 5 targets. His shot is his biggest asset, and he makes use of it effectively on particular groups, however he may transfer the puck effectively. He had simply 26 video games of professional expertise in his first SHL season, so he wants somewhat extra time to prepare dinner. However his offensive ceiling is excessive. Huh, a Swedish prospect drafted by a entrance workplace that options Patrick Allvin and the Sedins? Go determine. — Wyshynski
Crew: Djurgarden Jr. (SWEDEN-JR.) | Rank: INTS18
DOB: 3/11/2004 | Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 163 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 32 | G: 9 | A: 33
How he suits: Buffalo used the choose it acquired by buying and selling Jack Eichel to Vegas on heart Noah Ostlund. The 18-year-old lit it up with Djurgardens of the Swedish Jr. Hockey League final season, posting 9 targets and 42 factors in 32 video games. He did not have the identical success in a stint with Djurgarden’s prime group, including zero factors in 11 video games, a disparity that contributed to Ostlund being a considerably polarizing prospect. He is bought nice pace, agility and inventive playmaking potential, however has gaps to fill in his consistency and reliability earlier than making a bounce to the professionals. The talent is there although, which has to excite the Sabres. — Shilton
Crew: JYP (FINLAND) | Rank: INTS2
DOB: 4/27/2004 | Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 171 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 39 | G: 15 | A: 8
How he suits: The wait is over for Kemell. I spoke with an NHL draft analyst who mentioned essentially the most stunning a part of the primary spherical was seeing this elite goal-scoring prospect tumble out of the highest 10 — and proceed to tumble all the way in which to No. 17 and the Predators. The explanation: He is 5-9 and performs on the wing. For all of the discuss this turning into a “small man’s league,” the 2022 draft had a stunning emphasis on dimension. Kemell had 15 targets in his first professional season in Liiga. He is bought terrific palms and a dynamic offensive sport, however how that tasks to the NHL has been a thriller scouts have been making an attempt to unravel for some time. — Wyshynski
Crew: Leksand (SWEDEN) | Rank: INTS9
DOB: 5/18/2004 | Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 216 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 29 | G: 1 | A: 2
How he suits: Bichsel has large potential — actually. The 18-year-old defenseman is already 6-5 and 216 kilos, and he performs a rugged sport to match. Bichsel asserted himself effectively within the SHL final season with that punishing presence, which can make him a fan favourite in Dallas down the road. The Swiss native showcases good decision-making on the ice, makes use of his stick effectively and makes use of that body to remove house from on-rushing forwards. Bichsel brings a strong total package deal for the Stars to hone as he develops. — Shilton
Crew: Djurgarden Jr. (SWEDEN-JR.) | Rank: INTS8
DOB: 1/28/2004 | Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 187 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 30 | G: 33 | A: 25
How he suits: Ohgren and Noah Ostlund had been the highest Swedish heart prospects within the draft. Ostlund was off the board at No. 16 to the Sabres, leaving Ohgren at No. 19 for the Wild. Ohgren is greater and has a greater all-around sport. He is extra of a purpose scorer than a playmaker. Ostlund was seen as having extra upside, and therefore went earlier. However the Wild add a middle to their combine on the place that features Marco Rossi. — Wyshynski
Crew: Omsk (RUSSIA-2) | Rank: INTS11
DOB: 2/4/2004 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 185 | Shot: R

How he suits: Now it is a spicy choice. Miroshnichenko is a 6-1 left wing constructed like a truck who can skate just like the wind and loves to fireplace pucks along with his rocket shot from the faceoff circle on the ability play. Sound like all NHLer you recognize? However this choose has much more to it than mini-Ovechkin fantasies. Miroshnichenko had a Hodgkin’s lymphoma prognosis earlier this yr, however has accomplished his therapies and has returned to coaching. He is additionally at the moment enjoying for Omsk Krylia in Russia’s VHL, which presents its personal challenges given the state of diplomacy between the NHL and Russia.

A latest development spurt helped Pickering rise to his present top of 6-4, and that lengthy attain is useful. Pickering produced 33 factors in 62 video games final season for the WHL’s Swift Present Broncos to point out off the mobility and offensive savvy complementing his sound defensive sport. There’s room for Pickering so as to add to his explosiveness, energy on the puck and in utilizing his physique extra to benefit, which can are available in time. — Shilton

He is a powerful finisher with good goal-scoring instincts, one who sees the ice effectively and protects the puck. Had he gotten extra minutes within the KHL, and with a special worldwide relationship with Russia, Yurov may have been a top-10 choose. — Wyshynski
Crew: Chaska (HIGH-MN) | Rank: NAS19

He has a powerful all-around sport at each ends of the ice and a better-than-average wrist shot. What he lacks now could be utilizing that dimension within the attacking zone, the place he tends to play extra on the periphery than across the web. Given his dimension, that should change on the subsequent stage. He is bought time, having performed solely 16 video games as a professional within the SHL. — Wyshynski

Then he struggled with JYP of Liiga, moved to the Lahti Pelicans after which struggled there too — 4 targets in 49 video games in complete between each groups. However his talent is unimaginable, particularly his pace, which makes him aesthetically good for a group named the Jets, one imagines.
