22. Pittsburgh Penguins: Nikita Scherbak
Scherbak is a different kind of player but one the Penguins could definitely use. He’s got a big body and drives hard to the net to create scoring chances.
23. Colorado Avalanche: Anthony DeAngelo

The Avalanche could use some skilled young defenceman to help bolster their team. Their offence and goaltending are sound, but their defence needs work.
24. Anaheim Ducks: Marcus Pettersson
The Ducks need to think about defence first right now and that’s why they go with Pettersson. He has the potential to be a future star on the blue line.
