1. Florida Panthers: Aaron Ekblad
If the Panthers do end up keeping the first overall pick, than Ekblad will be a little too hard for them to pass up.
2. Buffalo Sabres: Sam Bennett
The Sabres are clearly in rebuilding mode and aren’t in a rush with their prospects. Bennett’s skill and a few years in the minors will make him the perfect guy.
3. Edmonton Oilers: Leon Draisaitl
Not entirely convinced the Oilers hold onto this pick as they are looking for a defenceman.
