2. Columbus selects D Ryan Murray
The best defenseman in the draft. Great 2-way game. Comes in and plays.
3. Montreal selects C Mikhail Grigorenko

4. NY Isles select W Filip Forsberg
Dynamic Winger closer to being NHL ready then others. Pure competitor, complement Tavares and Strome
5. Toronto selects C Alex Galchenyuk

7. Minnesota selects D Griffin Reinhart
Big strong defenseman, becomes a fixture in their top 4 for years to come

10. Tampa Bay selects D Jacob Trouba

Small and shifty, but fills secondary scoring need. Can be a huge offensive threat in the future especially in Washington
12. Buffalo selects C Brendan Gaunce
Center who isn't far off from the NHL and can be a great compliment to Ennis/Hodgson up the middle.
13. Dallas selects C Zegmus Girgensons
Adding depth to the centers. Girgensons can easily become a 2/3 line center with a strong two way game. Compliments Ribiero
14. Calgary selects D Cody Ceci

15. Ottawa selects W Sebastian Collberg
Another sweed to find success in Kanata.
