I guess Dach, but I've quickly grown to love him and his upside.
Vlasic is a very good get at #43, and the others for the Hawks were 4th rounders or later; which makes it impossible to be disappointed by.

Alex Campbell, especially because of Grewe, Beaucage, Legare, Puistola, Cajkovic, Dorofeyev etc. still being out there.

This season, probably Stienburg for the Avs, but he was a 3rd round pick so I'm not going to be too upset if he turns into nothing. He's still a better pick than Connor Bleakley in 2014.

Wanted Robertson over Vlasic, and Keppen over Teply.
If Vlasic can become reliable shutdown defender, I can live with that pick. I don't see a world in which Teply is better than Keppen though.

It seemed like a very weird draft for Montreal... like they're trying to go full Detroit (Datsyuk Zetterberg) by drafting players from obscure backgrounds.
I admit to have never seen any of these players play, and its mostly later round picks. What grinds my gears is when they're selected seemingly at random, or when we are told "he's a great athlete, we just need to teach him hockey"... I'm no pro GM but I'm sure its easier to teach a guy to go to the gym than to develop that elusive "hockey sense"...
Also maybe they were BPA, but the string of D-men selected in a row smells fishy. These guys won't be ready before 3-4-5 years maybe, if even. your holes won't be the same at that point... just draft BPA
Frederik Dichow: Goalies are difficult to predict, but he was really BPA in round 5? Strategically, could not have they waited in round 7 and pick a forward or D they though would be a good selection??? Is he going from Denmark 2nd league to SHL next year?
Jayden Struble: He might be amazing so stone me if thats the case but our scouts seem to love drafting 1-2 US high school players every year... but we always forget about them...
Kieran Ruscheinski: So the AMHL is Alberta's midget AAA league? Maybe he started hockey last year and he's some athletic semi-god ... if he becomes a modern Hal Gill I won't have a problem but even he was lighing up the league he was playing in his draft year
Rafael Harvey Pinard: I don't hate the pick but if they need to secure players from their own backyard to avoid competing with other teams who are interested it's a shame. Also, looks like his big year was last year, so why no one drafted him back then? He exploded and lead his team in points. He's now 20 and it's kind of expected to dominate by that point in juniors?

We're Touched
Not a pick, per se, but I despite the Caps tendency to trade up in the later rounds. They came out of this draft with only 4 picks, and shorted themselves a 2020 pick in the process.
Antti Tuomisto. Relative unknown, seemingly off board, with a few forwards I would've liked still on the board as well.

Not happy with Lacombe for the Ducks. Better D available and love Hoglander who went one pick after
I was hoping for Tomasino or Suzuki when we picked Holmstrom, but he still seems promising.
I do not like the Bolduc pick. We could have gotten Dorofeyev or Puistola, or even M. Robertson
So Bolduc is my answer for the Isles

I still hate the Tuomisto pick
Seider I worry about but have kinda adopted a wait and see attitude on
the rest I don't really have any concerns with

This year? I don't really dislike any of them right now.
Before this year, don't get me started.

I honestly can't complain about any player they took that I have an informed opinion on, I usually focus on the Top 100, and i'm pretty happy with Turcotte, Bjornfot, Kaliyev, Fagemo and Spence.
Not gonna pretend to know anything about Parik, goaltenders are impossible, especially when you don't anything about the level of competition.

Broberg was easily the most disappointing. With Zegras available I was pissed.
However I do like Brobergs huge upside as a potential elite #1dman. I just don't like how he's more of a long term project and doesn't really fit a positional need at all.

As a devils fan this makes me happy. We drafted for need more than BPA it seems. We went real D heavy in the first 4 rounds but managed to get this kid in 7th round. Maybe he will be. steal for us.

The Habs threw away 3 picks IMO.
LEguerrier
Harvey Pinard
That Manitoba kid
There was just flat out better players left.
I also hate that they exclusively picked LDs.

The LeGuerrier pick seemed very pointless to me, why go for four straight LHDs? This one doesn't even seem to have much upside to speak about either. The midget pick was pretty ridiculous too but at least it's a 7th rounder so I don't mind a swing for the fences even if his chances to make the NHL are .01%

Would've wanted us to pick a forward over Söderström. Especially since Krebs, Newhook, Caufield all were available at #14. My biggest problem with the pick though is the loss of the 2nd rounder.
