1^st Overall – Washington Capitals(Vegas Golden Knights) – Connor McDavid

This pick is self explanatory,  No need to explain

2^nd Overall – Florida Panthers(New York Rangers) – Jack Eichel

This pick is self explanatory,  No need to explain

3^rd Overall – Anaheim Ducks – Mitch Marner

This might still be a homer pick but Marner has done nothing but impressed since coming into the league

4^th Overall – Washington Capitals(Vegas Golden Knights) – Sebastian Aho

The first big jump.  Aho jumps 11 spots to 4^th.  He has out performed a lot of guys in the draft and left a lot of GMs scratching their heads.

5^th Overall – Montreal Canadiens – Ivan Provorov

The drop of one spot here is to no fault of Provorov, more to show how well Aho has played since entering the NHL.

6^th Overall – Florida Panthers(New York Rangers) – Mathew Barzal

Barzal has an unreal year last year in the NHL.  He is a calder candidate and a big reason for his jump on this draft board. 

7^th Overall – Pittsburgh Penguins - Mikko Rantanen

Rantanen has played along side Nathan MacKinnon most of his career so far.  No fall or jump here.

8^th Overall – Dallas Stars – Brock Boeser

Boeser has a jump from 12 to 8.  Boeser could of hit 40 goals in his rookie year if not for an injury.  Boeser another Calder Candidate.

 9^th Overall – Boston Bruins(New York Islanders) – Iyla Samsonov

Samsonov has done nothing but impress over in the KHL.  He has just recently signed with the Washington Capitals of the NHL.  He is likely to start the year in the AHL but will be a quick callup once he shows what he can do on the smaller ice.

10^th Overall – Boston Bruins(New York Islanders) - Travis Koencey

Koencey may have dropped if not for his production in his second year.  Scored 11 goals his first year and 24 goals his second year. 

11^th Overall – Boston Bruins(New York Islanders) – Zach Werenski

Werenski originally drafted 8^th overall falls to 11.  Would have had him higher but others progressed a bit more

12^th Overall – Columbus Blue Jackets – Noah Hanifin

Hanifin drop is really due to the fact that everyone ahead of him here has progressed so quickly.

13^th Overall – Montreal Canadiens - Thomas Chabot

Chabot in his first NHL season was sheltered a lot early on.  As the season grew on so did his playing time.  Look for big things from this defender.  Has a lot of potential, and only reason he isn’t higher is because of Ottawa not having anyone and his limited playing time.

14^th Overall – Buffalo Sabres – Kyle Connor

Connor drops from 9^th to 14^th.  Connor cracked the deep jets lineup this year and showed us why with his 31 goals.

15^th Overall – Colorado Avalanche - Anthony Beauviller

Beauviller jumps 5 spots and funny as it is, still gets drafted by Bryce’s Avalanche.
