1st overall no doubt RNH
hes got amazing offensive skill
Yes everyone expects the leafs to take Puempel, as they should
but i was honestly suprised he wasnt projected to go a little hiigher
so i wouldnt be suprised if hes already taken by the time the leafs step up to the clock
?

no person exterior the 1st around is probable to make it. O'Reilly from Colorado grow to be a fluke 2 years in the past. however the Avalanche have been a bad team. i will see 4 probably 5 gamers from final years draft playing usually interior the NHL this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. they are and the reasons: Landeskog > he's gigantic, reliable, performed 2 years interior the OHL and the Avalanche suck. Huberdeau > The Panthers ought to make some inroads with the French Canadian inhabitants of south Florida. this would help. Strome > The Islanders suck. Scheifele > long shot yet Winnipeg has to start coming up their very own face to the franchise. smash the Atlanta bond. What approximately some others? Nugent-Hopkins > Edmonton has an excellent style of youthful gamers coming up on the NHL point. supply Ryan yet another 3 hundred and sixty 5 days interior the WHL. Larsson > The Devils do unlike below 20 gamers. Parise and Zajac took 3 years from the draft to dress with the Devils Larsson may be the comparable. Zibanejad > will desire a pair of years till now he's waiting for the NHL. Has to earnings the North American activity first. there is one greater possibility > Ryan Murphy would crack the line up in Carolina. they are slightly skinny on protection and who greater effectual to tutor a youthful undersized defenseman the NHL activity than Tomas Kaberle. All others are sure No's.

Defiantly Matt Puempel. He won the OHL Rookie of the Year award and the Emms Family Award, two notabile rookie awards. I was looking at some of the players on the Emms Family Award, some of them include Joe Thornton, Patrick Kane, Rick Nash, and Wayne Gretzky. To me this seems like a pretty prestigious award. If Puempel can be this good of a rookie in the OHL, I dont see why he wouldn't fit into the NHL preety quickly.

My team is picking first again for the second time in a row, and either Nugent-Hopkins or Larsson would be huge for the Oilers.

Matt Puempel for the Leafs, confident with the puck, speed, skillz and can play defence. First overall goes to RNH, very well rounded, smart with the puck and can make plays

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, no doubt. Kid is ridiculous. He's got a lot of star power in him.
