Kapanen is a big and strong forward who could easily lead the Hurricanes offence.

8. Toronto Maple Leafs: Nick Ritchie

The leafs like big and tough players, add to the equation Ritchie’s ability to produce and the Leafs may hit the jackpot with this pick.

9. Winnipeg Jets: William Nylander

Nylander would be a great addition to the Jets offence which is need of some much-needed skill and scoring.
