8. Beckett Sennecke Seatle Kraken

Sennecke is from Toronto and is an excellent play-making right winger who sounds a little bit like Mitch Marner, who, it's worth mentioning, the Toronto Maple Leafs should not be trying to trade.

9. Jett Luchanko Calgary Flames

A speedy, if somewhat undersized, centre who has star potential and an awesome name. Ninth overall might be a big high for him, but I think someone will go off the board to draft a player that has been called a "puck retrieval machine."

10. Sam Dickinson New Jersey Devils

This 6'3 200 LBS defenseman rounds out the top-ten and gives the Devils yet another excellent defensive prospect. The two-way defender could possibly go higher than ten and appears to be a much better player than teams could normally expect in this draft spot.

11. Cale Eiserman Buffalo Sabres

An American winger who can shoot and plays a physical game. If he falls to Detroit he will have to change the spelling of his name, but I think he'll go 11th to the Sabres.

12. Berkly Catton Philedelphia Flyers

Said to be an all-round player, Catton is a forward from Saskatoon who has been ranked as high as fifth, which just goes to show you how deep this draft is.

The Flyers would likely be incredibly happy if he was to actually fall to them.
