How he fits: Clarke joins arguably the deepest prospect pool in the NHL with the Kings. The Sharks don't exactly have a robust prospect pool and don't have anyone at the forward spot at the caliber of Eklund. Eklund gives the Sharks a silky smooth offensive player who also takes care of business at the other end of the rink. How he fits: This is the first top-10 pick the Sharks have had since taking Timo Meier at No. Hey, the Red Wings know from trying to build from the Swedish defensemen out. The Red Wings now have a foundational 6-foot-5 defenseman on the left side to join their foundational 6-foot-4 defenseman on the right side in Moritz Seider.

Edvinsson gives Detroit a player many feel projects to be a franchise blueliner. How he fits: Talented Swede joins the Red Wings. Wherever he plays, he'll be an elite playmaker. One issue: He might be better on the wing, where many draft analysts believe he'll put up huge numbers in the NHL. Now comes Johnson, a late-bloomer who had an absolutely tremendous, highlight-generating freshman season at Michigan. They thought they had ones in Ryan Johansen and Pierre-Luc Dubois, before trading both. How he fits: The Blue Jackets have chased a franchise center for years. And if all else fails, the team has a heck of a marketing hook with the Brothers Hughes - and a happy star in Jack Hughes, which is always a good thing. Luke Hughes may not have the offensive dynamism that Quinn Hughes does, but his solid two-way game will be an asset to the Devils as he joins Ty Smith among the next-wave defensemen. How he fits: Obviously, the master plan is to collect two Hughes brothers in the hopes that they magnetically attract Quinn Hughes to join the Devils at some point. Anaheim has a solid foundation building with forward Trevor Zegras, defenseman Jamie Drysdale and now McTavish. McTavish's stock shot up the draft board in the past few weeks, and you can see why: He has an NHL shot, plays strong and has drawn comparisons to Ryan O'Reilly. How he fits: As the Ryan Getzlaf era fades into memory, the Ducks get themselves another talented center who plays a power game.

Beniers is a great building block for the NHL's newest franchise. Well, he just drafted a two-way center with great skating ability, dynamic offense and a "leads-by-example" work ethic, which should be familiar to Francis. How he fits: Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol told me that his general manager, Ron Francis, wanted to acquire players who reminded the Hall of Famer of the way he played. Now Power joins him as another left-side defenseman who Buffalo can build around in the next decade - perhaps using the pieces it gets for an eventual Jack Eichel trade, for example. 1 overall in 2018, hasn't quite leveled up to franchise defenseman status yet, but he's only 21 years old. 1 picks to then select defensemen, but that's how the draft classes have worked out for the Sabres. It's also not often that a team uses those two No. How he fits: It's not often that a team gets the first overall pick in the draft in two out of four seasons. Here are all 224 picks from the 2021 NHL draft, along with analysis on every Round 1 selection. But the group is extremely talented, with numerous future impact players at the NHL level.įollowing the Sabres in Round 1 were the Seattle Kraken, who just completed their full expansion draft and then made their first ever draft pick at No. This year's class of prospects came in with little consensus as per rankings and evaluations, thanks to uneven - or nonexistent - seasons for many junior, collegiate and/or international leagues amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
