Winners:
- Calgary - getting Tkachuk and Elliott was outstanding
- Philadelphia - German Rubtsov, Pascal Laberge, Carter Hart and Wade Allison is a fantastic haul
- Arizona - Keller and Chychrun in the 1st round, and the Datsyuk contract actually helps them
- Detroit - got rid of the Datsyuk contract without having to give up assets, also made some interesting picks
- Carolina - Bean and Gauthier in the first round
Losers:
- Boston - another stinker. Not as mind-boggling as last year but the Frederic pick was horrible
- Washington - paid too much for Eller
- Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay - couldn't trade a goalie
Somewhere in between:
- Toronto - got Matthews obviously, but some really strange picks outside of the 1st round
- Winnipeg - can't call them a loser after getting Laine, but trading up for Logan Stanley was brutal
- Edmonton - did well in the draft itself, but yet again failed to get a defenseman
- Columbus - didn't shed any salary
