Overall pretty happy with my draft - tried to prioritize skill in the later rounds with the hope of hitting on a dark horse.

#6 - Trevor Zegras - Went back and forth between Zegras and Caufield with this pick and in the end landed with Zegras. Good speed, two way play is already developed, and a good playmaker. (Anaheim - 9th overall)

#54 - Nolan Foote - Son of Adam Foote and had been ranked in the first round in some of the earlier season draft rankings. Big power forward with good pedigree. (Tampa Bay - 27th Overall)

#60 - Mads Søgaard
- 2nd ranked goalie in the draft, goalies are always a crap shoot. (Ottawa - 37 Overall)

#67 - Alex Beaucage - was a good player all season on the Memorial Cup champions. Put up good points but remains to be seen if he was a passenger or driver on that line. (78 Overall)

#78 - Matias Maccelli - crazy point production in the USHL for an 18 year old. Identical 72 points for the Dubuque Fighting Saints in his draft season as Johnny Gaudreau had, and led the USHL in scoring for draft eligible players. (Phoenix - 98 Overall)

#99 - Martin Hugo Has - Great name, big body, and can move well for his size. (Washington - 153 Overall)

#109 - Valentin Nussbaumer - okay stats for his first season in North America was better in the second half and the playoffs. (Phoenix - 207 Overall)

#110 - Yegor Serdyuk - PPG in his first season in North America, led his team in scoring by 10 points, and was 17 for the entire season. (Philadelphia - 165)

#111 - Xavier Simoneau - Smaller skilled forward in the QMJHL. Didn't have a great draft season but was stuck behind some talented older forwards. (Undrafted)

#115 - Henry Rybinski - Poor start to the season in Medicine Hat but once he escaped from that team was a PPG game player in Seattle. (Florida - 136)

#116 - Reece Newkirk - Decent draft season in Portland produced when playing with Glass or when asked to pivot his own line. (Islanders - 147)

#123 - Ethan Haider - Very young for this draft and another goalie lottery ticket. (Nashville - 148)
