I got curious and looked where our picks in the 1st 3 rounds have come from in the Madden era and it actually has really good representation across all 3 CHL leagues, the USHL, and Sweden. The most players taken from 1 league was 3 from the Q in 2022.
OHL: 16
WHL: 10
QMJHL: 10
USHL: 12
Sweden: 8
HS: 3
Russia: 1
BCHL: 1
Finland: 1
Czech: 1

We've gone away from college bound prospects in the first three rounds under Verbeek. We have only one college bound guy in the past two drafts in 5th round pick Michael Callow.
Holy crap… another legacy prospect… Illya was a funny guy and one our highest drafted goalies.

I recall that even after his career was over Bryz seemed to prefer living in the in the usa and he was still in the usa when the Ducks briefly brought him back out of retirement.
I wanted to see Bryz get a post game show with the Ducks, he'd be funny and entertaining.
Boy makes me want Nikishin more... Perreault will always be the could have been Ridly Greig, and Ian Moore will be our the could have been Nikishin... picks so close to one another and we had the choice...
His son isn't as big but there is a wave of small overperforming goalies right now. I could see us taking a swing with a late pick and wait 4-5 years for him to develop before going pro.
I wonder how Bryz would do as a goalie coach. He is so quirky but he might be someone who could take the edge off our goalies.

This team really does not like to draft in the 7th round for some reason. Last time we did was Bowen in 2020 who already retired and the last time before him was Soy in 2016, and we already traded our 7th round pick again this year

Did we? The site I use to track draft picks for mock drafts, still shows us with our own seventh

I’m having a pretty hard time getting too excited about anyone in this draft (besides celebrities).
Obviously there is going to be good players, but the more I look into guys in the top 10, the more I become indifferent about who we take.

I'm okay with this... one step closer to really having to consider taking Demidov. =)

I dont see us going demidov at all...
I think were going to take our favorite dmen still on the board between
Levshunov, Dickinson, Yakemchuk, Biuim, Parekh.
I do like MBN but idk if we can get to him with our 2nd pick.
Did a 2 roundmock draft with some of my buds and it turned out like this
1st Demidov. Too good to pass up. Electric player with the highest offensive upside in the whole draft.
Mews. Love his potential. Reminds me a lot of Minty minus the nastiness.
2nd Emil Hemming. Big RW with a lethal shot.
Will Skahan. Big mean kid. 6’4 215 and uses his body well. Skates well too

Interesting background on Zayne, didn’t realize he was half Indian and half Korean. Talk about a diversity hire that could bring in Indian and Korean attention:
Can we imagine if the Ducks went with Zayne? What potential firepower on the blue line… but it would take a lot of juggling to get proper partners. Minty, Zellweger, Parekh might mean many of the two way guys that aren’t very physical or strong defensively would end up traded.

Here's a couple of mocks and their top-8. Some were done post-TDL (Tankathon, SN, and FC Hockey)
| Mock | Drafts | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selection | Team | My NHL Draft | Tankathon | Sporting News | FC Hockey | Lines |
1 | Chi | Celebrini | Celebrini | Celebrini | Celebrini | Celebrini |
2 | SJ | Demidov | Demidov | Silayev | Silayev | Lindstrom |
3 | Ana | Levshunov | Levshunov | Levshunov | Levshunov | Eiserman |
4 | CLB | Silayev | Lindstrom | Lindstrom | Demidov | Levshunov |
5 | Ott | Dickinson | Eiserman | Eiserman | Dickinson | Silayev |
6 | Ari | Lindstrom | Silayev | Dickinson | Lindstrom | Demidov |
7 | MtL | Catton | Dickinson | Demidov | Helenius | Dickinson |
8 | Buf | Helenius | Catton | Catton | Parekh | Catton |
I didn't see SJ taking either Russian at #2, which bodes well for us to leave Levshunov or Lindstrom. The biggest surprises are Dickinson going lower and Catton in the top-8.
MBN is usually in the mid-teens. Although, Lines had him at 25. I wouldn't count on it, though. I'd take MBN if he was there. That's why I looked at Emil Hemming, who started off in the late 20's in Oct mock drafts and now is around the late teens/early 20s. (damn!)
Another surprise I'm seeing are defensive d-men (DFD) climbing the charts in Elick and Emery. Both were usually seen in the 2nd round for many previous mock drafts. Depending on where our late first round pick lands, it might be prudent to draft one of the DFD if we're picking 32nd.

It does feel like multiple clubs will look at how many D there are this year and decide they all want to draft them. In 2022, when it was also a great year for D, the defensive D all started going earlier than projected most landing in the late 1st when projected into the 2nd round.
Hopefully our Oilers pick can grab a good one this time instead of only having Warren left on the board at our 2nd round selection.

Always tougher to gauge these guys coming out of lower tier leagues but I really like Sawyer's offensive upside once you get passed the obvious top forwards in this draft.
