Vancouver needs everything, more likely to take a D-man but will go BPA if in top 3.

Columbus has Savard, Jones, Murray, and Johnson on D, don't urgently need another one. Will likely take the best forward available. If in top 3, will take one, if 4th or 5th will likely take Dubois as he's close to Johansen in profile.

Winnipeg has plenty of D and needs forwards. Tkachuk makes a ton of sense both in terms of history and need, but they would easily take one of the top 3 and run.

Arizona needs scoring and defense, so they're going to likely take BPA regardless.

Buffalo could use someone to put with Ristolainen, although they have a ton of middle/bottom end D prospects. Depends on who/what is on the board.

Montreal needs everything, BPA

Colorado has a little of everything, but no real depth so BPA

NJ needs scoring primarily, but would likely take a D-man if the guy was better than the scoring options.
They really don't need everything. They're pretty stacked upfront. They won't take Nylander 4th just because they have his bro. They'll take the BPA.
