Stats: GP: 31 | G: 5 | A: 5

How he matches: 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 ultimately, it is the Slovakian winger who goes first total. The 6-Three 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 measurement; it is his pace that makes him distinctive. It is a choose about what Slafkovsky can turn out to be, not for what he’s. As one draft observer informed me lately, he has “all of the instruments with out the toolbox” in the intervening time. However his ceiling is excessive — excessive sufficient, it appears, for the Canadiens to choose to not do the Wright factor. — Wyshynski


Workforce: Nitra (SLOVAKIA) | Rank: INTS3

How he matches: With Slafkovsky off the board, the Devils handed over facilities Wright and Logan Cooley to pick out puck-moving defenseman Nemec.

DOB: 5/4/2004 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 174 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 51 | G: 27 | A: 48

How he matches: The Coyotes had their choose of Wright and Cooley. They opted for the USA Hockey Nationwide Workforce Improvement Program product in Cooley, as Wright’s plummet continued. Previously, Cooley’s 5-10 body may need been a hindrance. Not in right this moment’s NHL. The sturdy two-way middle cites Patrick Kane as an inspiration for his play, however admits he wants some work on his long-range capturing to hit that degree of goal-scorer. The Coyotes want … effectively, every little thing. In Cooley, they get a participant who has extra offensive upside than Wright, in line with many scouts. He had 75 factors in 51 video games this season. — Wyshynski


Workforce: Kingston (OHL) | Rank: NAS1
DOB: 1/5/2004 | Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 191 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 63 | G: 32 | A: 62

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 12 months.

After the COVID-19 pandemic value 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 middle; Arizona went with a special middle 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 middle. At 6-Zero and 191 kilos, Wright possesses good measurement and is a robust skater who’s impressively elusive with quickness to beat defenders to pucks. Add to that wonderful hockey sense, excellent playmaking capability and end across the internet.

Little doubt his slide down the draft board will inspire Wright when he does attain the NHL. And he is doubtless nearer to being NHL-ready than most No. Four picks. That is excellent news for the enlargement Kraken, who can mildew Wright right into a franchise centerpiece. — Shilton

DOB: 1/19/2004 | Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 189 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 54 | G: 34 | A: 31

How he matches: 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 workforce. He drives the web effectively. He is no slouch defensively, and is aware of easy methods to 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 excellent for some motive. — Wyshynski


Workforce: Plzen (CZREP) | Rank: INTS4
DOB: 11/28/2003 | Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 189 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 29 | G: 5 | A: 6

How he matches: The Blue Jackets must be pleased Jiricek fell to them at No. 6. Some scouts thought of him one of the best defender on this draft class, even over Nemec. Jiricek is one other huge, 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 12 months’s draft — and sarcastically, Columbus used one of many picks acquired in that transfer to herald Jiriceck, who may turn out to be a blue-line cornerstone. — Shilton

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 might be an essential piece in constructing them again up. — Wyshynski


Workforce: Rogle (SWEDEN) | Rank: INTS5

Kasper, 18, lower his enamel final season within the SHL and produced seven targets and 11 factors towards robust competitors. He is a high-motor man who can excel within the cycle recreation and protects the puck effectively. Kasper’s offensive numbers could not leap off the web page however what he lacks in flash he makes up for with good decision-making, defensive edge and competitiveness. Appears like a great match for the Motor Metropolis — Shilton


Workforce: Winnipeg (WHL) | Rank: NAS4

Stats: GP: 65 | G: 35 | A: 55

DOB: 11/25/2003 | Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 197 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 67 | G: 17 | A: 45

How he matches: There was lots of hypothesis that the Geese would find yourself with Korchinski right here.

His 62 factors in 67 video games for Saginaw final season included 45 assists. — Wyshynski

How he matches: Arizona wouldn’t be denied drafting Geekie. The Coyotes traded for San Jose’s No. 11 total choose in change for picks No. 27, No. 34 and No. 45. Why not? Geekie is a superb selection. The 6-Three middle 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 novel talent set that has combined measurement and pace to wonderful returns in his junior hockey profession. He’ll have a fantastic sounding board in older brother Morgan, a middle for the Kraken, when the time comes for his personal transition to the professionals. — Shilton


Workforce: 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 matches: Fascinating 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 guide the push and when to be extra conservative. However that is correctable. His defensive recreation is sweet and he has a excessive hockey IQ. The Columbus again finish was gutted when the workforce traded Seth Jones and David Savard away lately. It appears to be like rather a lot higher now with David Jiricek and Denton Mateychuk prepared to hitch Zach Werenski and Adam Boqvist. — Wyshynski


Workforce: 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 matches: Chicago plucked one other U.S. nationwide workforce improvement program participant in Nazar. What the Detroit native lacks in measurement, 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 side of his recreation. Nazar’s instincts stand out too, in the way in which he can really feel and elude stress from defensemen to create area. Nazar may become an impactful top-six skater for the Blackhawks as he continues including power and honing the abilities in his repertoire. He is comparable in methods to the participant Chicago traded away earlier within the day, DeBrincat. The Blackhawks can be fortunate to see Nazar develop into an analogous sort of difference-maker. — Shilton


Workforce: 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 matches: The Jets chosen McGroarty surprisingly excessive at No. 14. However there’s rather a lot to love in regards to the Lincoln, Nebraska, native. On the ice, he performs a rugged energy ahead recreation that attracts 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 leap in his improvement (19 factors in 30 video games) from the earlier marketing campaign. McGroarty’s mixture of measurement, physicality and talent matches Winnipeg’s type. — Shilton

DOB: 7/24/2004 | Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 165 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 26 | G: 7 | A: 2

How he matches: Lekkerimaki may have simply been a top-10 choose on this draft. He had 15 factors in eight video games to guide 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 can even transfer the puck effectively. He had simply 26 video games of professional expertise in his first SHL season, so he wants a bit of extra time to cook 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


Workforce: 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 matches: Buffalo used the choose it acquired by buying and selling Jack Eichel to Vegas on middle 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 workforce, 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 capability, however has gaps to fill in his consistency and reliability earlier than making a leap to the professionals. The talent is there although, which has to excite the Sabres. — Shilton


Workforce: JYP (FINLAND) | Rank: INTS2
DOB: 4/27/2004 | Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 171 | Shot: R
Stats: GP: 39 | G: 15 | A: 8

How he matches: The wait is over for Kemell. I spoke with an NHL draft analyst who stated probably 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 rationale: He is 5-9 and performs on the wing. For all of the speak about this changing into a “small man’s league,” the 2022 draft had a stunning emphasis on measurement. Kemell had 15 targets in his first professional season in Liiga. He is bought terrific arms and a dynamic offensive recreation, however how that tasks to the NHL has been a thriller scouts have been making an attempt to unravel for some time. — Wyshynski

DOB: 5/18/2004 | Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 216 | Shot: L
Stats: GP: 29 | G: 1 | A: 2

How he matches: Bichsel has huge potential — actually. The 18-year-old defenseman is already 6-5 and 216 kilos, and he performs a rugged recreation 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 area from on-rushing forwards. Bichsel brings a strong total bundle for the Stars to hone as he develops. — Shilton

How he matches: Ohgren and Noah Ostlund have been the highest Swedish middle 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 recreation. 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

How he matches: Now this can be 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 facility play.

Miroshnichenko had a Hodgkin’s lymphoma analysis earlier this 12 months, 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. Perhaps Ovechkin is aware of a man that may assist get him to Washington … — Wyshynski

A latest development spurt helped Pickering rise to his present peak 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 indicate off the mobility and offensive savvy complementing his sound defensive recreation.
