2023 NHL Entry Draft - Bold Predictions

[forsbergfan]

I can see Nashville trading up to 6 to get michkov (after smith and Leonard go 4 and 5). Host team almost always does something flashy at the draft. And trotz wants to take homerun swings and go to a more offensive approach.
Benson to Philly at 7. I think briere puts more of a focus on skill over size.
Reinbacher to caps at 8. Although Arizona probably takes him if they keep their pick and then michkov goes to the caps.
Have seen tons of oliver Moore predictions for Detroit at 9 but how do they pass on dvorsky if he's still there. Although could easily see Stevie y taking a swedish dman in ASP.
St Louis takes Moore. Canucks ASP if wings don't take him. Yotes willander. Sabres Barlow.
Pittsburgh honzek but does anyone actually think dubas isn't trading down?
Nashville Perrault. Calgary Danielson. Detroit but. Winnipeg simashev. Chicago wood. Seattle yager. Minny sale. Philly stenberg. Rangers Gauthier. Nashville gulyayev. Stl bonk but good chance they're trading one of both of their later picks.
Sj musty
Col Ritchie
Tor lindstein
Stl brindley
Car heidt
Col hrabal
Vegas cristall

I'm sure I'll be wrong on just about all these picks but where's the fun before the draft without a little mock.

Grier passes on Michkov at #4.
The Red Wings take a North American with their #9 pick.
Benson slips out of top 10.
FIVE Russians go in the first round.
Cristall falls out of the first round.
Dubas trades for one of the first three picks in the 2nd round (33-35).
GMs trade-up 4+ times on day 2 to take a goalie they like.

So far so good...
CHECK, CHECK, CHECK, DamnClose(4), CHECK after day1.
