Tommy Miller. 62. player. 91. So far Ottawa has selected depth scorer/grinder Matthew Strome, and depth center MacKenzie Entwistle to help the club up front. Another area of the ice that needs to be addressed is the backend and that’s why the choice of Tommy Miller was made. And let’s not forget he’s from the USA U18 development program which has pumped out a ton of amazing players.. D. Team USA U18 (USHL)

Swift Current (WHL). Aleksi Heponiemi. 61. player. 92. Despite being on the small side Aleksi Heponiemi has a tremendous skill set and can definitely help the Penguins down the middle. He definitely needs to add weight and height before he can play in the NHL since he’s a really small guy, but first round selection Henri Jokiharju will at least keep things in order on the backend.. C

151. In the first round, I had Nashville choosing top defenseman Urho Vaakanainen from the Finnish Elite League. Now with their only second round selection, I have chosen center Stelio Mattheos from the WHL since that’s an area the Preds need to address big time.. C. Brandon (WHL). Stelio Mattheos. 60. player

105. The Ducks didn’t have a single pick in the first round and now they have two in the second. With their first choice in the second round, I had chosen center Morgan Frost to help the team up front and down the middle. Another spot that needs a prospect badly is goaltending and that’s why I have the Ducks choosing Ian Scott from the WHL.. G. Prince Albert (WHL). Ian Scott. 59. player

152. Montreal has already selected Maxime Comtois to help up front and Jarret Tyszka to help on the backend, now with their second pick in the second round I have them choosing another key piece the club needs. They definitely need help down the middle whether it’s a number one center or a depth center and Jake Leschyshyn can help fill a bottom six role.. C/W. Regina (WHL). Jake Leschyshyn. 58. player

Lukas Elvenes. 57. player. 94. Chicago only had one selection in the first round and that was winger Kristian Vesalainen. Now for every good winger their needs to be a good center playing along with him, and that’s why the selection of Lukas Elvenes was made.. C/W. Rogle J20 (Superelit)
