6. Vegas Golden Knights – Cody Glass (C, Portland Winterhawks, WHL)

A brand new franchise means that this team doesn’t have a particular need to address at the draft. If the prediction is right, the Knights will go with Glass, who’s already looking like a future stable top six centre at the NHL level.

Amassing 94 points through 65 games this year, Glass was the top line centre for the Hawks at the age of 17 and the Knights will be getting a future solid two way forward if they take him.
