The 2018 NHL entry draft will not have much drama at the top. It would take something pretty monumental for Swedish defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to go anywhere but No. 1. The soon-to-be Olympian is one of the best defensive prospects in recent memory and has the look of a franchise-altering player.
After Dahlin goes, things might get a little jumbled. Barrie Colts winger Andrei Svechnikov seems to be a popular No. 2 choice around the scouting community, but others (including me) won't rule out the chance for Filip Zadina of the Halifax Mooseheads or Brady Tkachuk to take the No. 2 spot.
One thing that appears even clearer than it was when we put together our early-season draft rankings: If your team is looking for a surefire No. 1 center, this is probably not the draft for you. However, teams that are looking for puck-moving, productive defensemen or high-scoring wingers will have a much better selection. Led by Dahlin, I have 13 defensemen in my top 31, and there's at least two more that I could see potentially moving into that group by season's end.
At this point, there are no goalies in the top 50. It isn't by design so much as it is dictated by the class. At best, there might be one or two goalies who could go as early as the late second round, but even that might be a stretch. Besides, teams have been finding a lot of value in midround goalie picks in recent years.
For a quick insight into my process for compiling these lists, I've seen the majority of the prospects listed below live at least one time. Those who I haven't, I've watched film on them. I also have spoken with scouts at the NHL and junior level, coaches and in some cases the players themselves. The players are listed in the order of where I would slot them if I were compiling my own draft board -- not where I think or predict they will go in the draft.
Note: Heights, weights and positions are listed as recorded by NHL Central Scouting Services, while stats are via eliteprospects.com.
1. Rasmus Dahlin, D, Frolunda (SHL)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 181
33 GP | 6 G | 9 A
There just aren't many defensemen who come with Dahlin's package of skills. While clearly gifted offensively, he is also a smart defender who should get better as he continues to build strength. His footwork makes him difficult to get around, and he reads plays incredibly well. Dahlin's passing is tremendous, but he also is a confident puck handler with the ability to make oncoming defenders miss and/or buy himself extra time. He's still only 17 years old, but he plays top-four minutes on a top European club. Additionally, Dahlin has 15 points in 32 games in Swedish Hockey League play so far this season. His 0.47 points per game is the best rate by a draft-eligible defenseman in the league since Victor Hedman had 0.49 points in 2008-09, and Dahlin is eight months younger than Hedman was in his draft-eligible season.
On top of his club play, Dahlin was far and away the best defenseman at the 2018 World Junior Championships, earning tournament all-star honors and the Directorate Award as the tournament's top defenseman. Only one other 17-year-old defenseman ever claimed that award: Gord Kluzak, who won in 1982 before going first overall in that year's draft. Dahlin was also recently named to Sweden's Olympic roster. At this point, he is the youngest player named to a team. There's no reason to overthink this. Dahlin is the best player available in this draft, and it isn't close.
2. Filip Zadina, RW, Halifax (QMJHL)
Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 195
38 GP | 27 G | 26 A
The battle for No. 2 in the draft is going to be pretty tight. I don't think there's a strong consensus about who should go here. Svechnikov might have the edge, but Zadina is definitely trending up, and I slightly prefer him at this point. A dynamic scoring winger, Zadina brings a lot of skills to the table. His goal-scoring ability, highlighted by an elite shot, is among the best in the draft. At the WJC, he was part of a top line that essentially willed the Czech Republic to a fourth-place finish. Zadina had to play big minutes and commit to a two-way game for his team to be successful, which he absolutely did. He was named a tournament all-star for his efforts, which included seven goals in seven games.
Zadina has a great work ethic on the ice. He plays the game hard and doesn't lean solely on his skill to create offense. He fights for his chances, protects the puck well with good physical strength and can hold his own in the defensive end. I think Zadina has all the makings of a future star in the league.
3. Andrei Svechnikov, RW, Barrie (OHL)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 188
26 GP | 21 G | 15 A
I fully expect Svechnikov to stay in the No. 2 conversation all season, and he didn't drop on my list because of anything he did or didn't do. I just think Zadina's ascent has been impressive enough to give him the slight nod. What I like about Svechnikov is his great mix of power and skill. He's very difficult to take off the puck, plays well down low and goes hard to the net. He is an excellent skater, with good agility for his size and a powerful stride that allows him to beat defenders to the outside and give them little hope of slowing him down when he cuts back to the middle.
Svechnikov is pretty much the total package offensively, with good puck skills, vision and a wicked release. Although he missed about a month with a hand injury earlier this season, Svechnikov has been on a tear since returning from the World Juniors, in which he was Russia's only under-ager. Whichever team ends up with the No. 2 pick is going to have a lot to think about.
4. Brady Tkachuk, LW, Boston University (NCAA)
Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 196
26 GP | 7 G | 14 A
Good genes certainly help, but Tkachuk is a special talent in his own right. Already one of the physically strongest forwards in this draft class, Tkachuk can do pretty much everything a team needs. From killing penalties to late-game defensive-zone draws, he was playing meaningful minutes for Team USA at the World Juniors. U.S. head coach Bob Motzko referred to Tkachuk multiple times as a "junkyard dog" due to his physicality and relentlessness. He is a tremendous competitor.
While it's easy to get enamored with the physical elements of Tkachuk's game, they should not overshadow his skill. Tkachuk might not be your prototypical playmaker, but he is a high-end distributor who sees the ice well. That maximizes the extra space he creates for himself and his teammates. Like big brother Matthew and dad Keith, Brady is also very good around the net. He has quick hands in tight and can outmuscle defenders. But he can score the pretty goals too, with a quick release and confidence in his puck skills. If there's one knock at this point, it's his skating, but it isn't a big concern.
5. Quinn Hughes, D, University of Michigan (NCAA)
Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 170
23 GP | 1 G | 14 A
After the trio of forwards, there's a bit of a drop in terms of overall value, but I think Hughes is a great option to maximize a lottery pick. Although he had a bit of a disappointing WJC, as his role diminished throughout the tournament, his body of work remains impressive. As a true freshman at Michigan, Hughes has the ability to tilt the ice. He isn't afraid to take the puck up himself, but he also has good vision and passing abilities. Hughes takes risks and sometimes gets caught up ice, but when in position to defend, he can hold his own. He might not be very big, but he has strong legs and uses that to his advantage to get leverage on bigger forwards. That only gets harder as he moves up the ranks, but it's good to see that now. While his defensive play still needs work, I don't think it's a liability at this point. Hughes' ability to drive play is why he stands out.
6. Adam Boqvist, D, Almtuna (Allsvenskan)
Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 168
21 GP | 12 G | 7 A
An incredibly productive defenseman in Sweden's junior ranks, Boqvist has been given extended looks at the professional level this year. Currently on loan in Sweden's second pro division, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes for him, as he has started playing third-pairing minutes for Almtuna IS. One of the things that stands out about Boqvist is his ability to get pucks through from the point. He has a quick release and moves incredibly well laterally, making him more dangerous from the blue line. He's very comfortable with the puck on his stick, but needs to be stronger in his own end and physically stronger overall. That said, his offensive skill set is elite, which is why he'll likely land somewhere in the top 10 come June.
7. Oliver Wahlstrom, RW, U.S. Under-18 Team (USHL)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 205
36 GP | 29 G | 21 A
This is the part of the first round where things become a little cloudier. Here we have yet another winger. As natural a goal scorer as there is in this draft, Wahlstrom has put up strong numbers at the National Team Development Program and has gotten better as the season has worn on. Currently playing alongside Jack Hughes (Quinn's younger brother and an early favorite to go No. 1 in 2019), Wahlstrom's scoring ability has gotten an even better showcase.
I think he has the best, most deceptive shot among players I've seen this season. Wahlstrom gets himself to good scoring positions and has a bunch of releases he can use to fool goaltenders. That said, the kid is willing to shoot from anywhere and pretty much does. He's also excellent shooting off the pass. Some scouts I've talked to have questioned his consistency in terms of how he competes and how much he can create offense on his own, but I place a high value on high-end goal scorers. In that specific ability, I think he's comparable to Zadina and Svechnikov. They are just more complete players who have displayed better consistency at this point.
8. Evan Bouchard, D, London (OHL)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 193
47 GP | 16 G | 44 A
A smart two-way defenseman, Bouchard is a strong passer and possesses a very good shot. He is taking charge in a big way this season in London, which is what you'd hope to see from one of the older players available in this draft. He has rocketed up the charts from the start of the season and looks likely to stay here.
Bouchard reads the game well and appears confident with or without the puck. He leads all OHL defensemen in scoring so far this season. Perhaps his most stunning stat is the 211 shots he has put on goal this year, an average of 4.5 per game. While his offensive tools are fantastic, he is also a solid defender and can be utilized in a variety of situations. He isn't an amazing skater, but he is efficient, which gives him an edge defensively along with his size.
9. Ty Smith, D, Spokane (WHL)
Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 175
48 GP | 7 G | 40 A
Keeping the train of offensively gifted defenseman rolling, Smith is having a strong year in the WHL. He had a pretty rough showing in the recent CHL Top Prospects Game, as his team got rolled, but that's just one game. Overall, he has many of the same qualities as his peers in this draft class. Smith is a confident puck-mover who skates very well and boosts the transition. He can take control of a game from the back end and puts up a boatload of points in the process, as he has high-level hockey sense. Averaging nearly a point per game in the WHL, his offensive tools are at a level where it lessens the concerns about his size and only fair defending.
10. Joel Farabee, LW, U.S. Under-18 Team (USHL)
Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 164
36 GP | 18 G | 24 A
Another wing you can use in all kinds of situations, Farabee mixes smart offensive skills with tenacity in all zones. Although he doesn't possess great size, Farabee is an absolute gamer. He goes to all of the hard areas of the ice and never quits on pucks. That relentlessness in puck pursuit is matched by his ability with the puck on his stick.
Farabee plays the game fast, with quick hands, a quick release and good skating. Playing alongside Wahlstrom most of the year, the duo has terrorized the opposition, often keeping opposing defensemen on their heels. Additionally, Farabee is slated to go to Boston University next season, a factory for pro talent, especially of late.
11. Barrett Hayton, C, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 190
46 GP | 17 G | 26 A
It has taken me a little while to come around on Hayton because I don't think there's any one thing he does that wows you. However, his collection of tools -- highlighted by higher-end hockey sense and above-average puck skills -- has him as the No. 1 center for now. I don't think there are any projectable No. 1 centers in this draft, but Hayton is the kind of player who has the versatility to be utilized in a lot of ways. Playing on one of the top teams in all of junior hockey, Hayton is a smart two-way center who is committed defensively. One scout highlighted his vision and creativity as offensive strengths while noting that Hayton is a good skater without tremendous speed.
12. Joseph Veleno, C, Drummondville (QMJHL)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 193
43 GP | 9 G | 40 A
I think we're starting to see Veleno take charge a bit more this season. Burdened by the expectations that came with his being granted exceptional status to enter the QMJHL a year early, Veleno is still an impressive prospect after a slight recalibration. For a higher-end playmaker, Veleno plays a solid defensive game as well. He uses his speed to his advantage at both ends of the ice and has advanced hockey sense.
Since being moved to Drummondville, Veleno's production has been trending up. He's going to be playing in some meaningful games this year, which will afford him the opportunity to keep himself in the conversation to be a lottery pick. There are no guarantees, but I think Veleno's best hockey is ahead of him this draft season.
13. Isac Lundestrom, C, Lulea (SHL)
Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 185
31 GP | 4 G | 7 A
Provided a great showcase for a phenomenal Sweden roster at the World Junior Championship, Lundestrom was essentially the team's No. 3 center. He often caught matchups against top lines from opposing teams and performed admirably. He is getting top-six minutes in Sweden's top pro division at 18, and by all accounts, he is handling that very well. There's a maturity in Lundestrom's game, and he tends to keep things fairly simple. That means he won't jump off the highlight reels, but he has some good offensive tools. I'd like to see him put up more points, but I think his defensive value remains significant enough to include him with this run on centers.
14. Mattias Samuelsson, D, U.S. Under-18 Team
Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 217
32 GP | 6 G | 12 A
Samuelsson might be a little difficult to project, given that he isn't putting up a ton of points. Despite that, the big defenseman has solid offensive tools. He isn't afraid to jump into plays, and he distributes the puck well. I've had multiple scouts tell me they think he'd have the ability to jump into the NHL fairly quickly because of his size and poise. No player has ever gone directly from the NTDP to the NHL, and Samuelsson is committed to Western Michigan University for next year, but the fact that such a feeling exists says a lot about where his game is.
Samuelsson's physical strength is a big part of what makes him effective. While I think the offense can come along more, I really like what he can do defensively. He often is in good position and tough to get around because of his good footwork and lateral movement. The detail in his game is particularly impressive given his age.
15. Grigori Denisenko, LW, Yaroslavl (MHL)
Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 176
23 GP | 4 G | 10 A
Perhaps one of the most skilled players in this draft in terms of what he can do with the puck, Denisenko is a very entertaining player to watch. He hasn't set the Russian junior league on fire this year, but I think there's a lot of upside there. I liked a lot of what I saw from him on film from the World Junior A Challenge, and I'll be interested to see how he fares in other international competitions with Russia this year.
Denisenko does a good job of creating time and space for himself and his teammates. He's an intriguing prospect who I expect to be watching a lot more of as the season progresses.
16. Noah Dobson, D, Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL)
Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 180
47 GP | 10 G | 37 A
Dobson has been one of the draft-eligible players trending up rapidly this year. He's averaging a point-per-game for one of the top teams in the QMJHL and certainly looks the part of a future top-four defenseman. Dobson has a good frame with room to tack on some muscle. He plays the game at a more deliberate pace, but that doesn't seem to hinder him at either end of the ice. He has a pretty strong defensive game to go along with his high level of production.
17. Akil Thomas, C, Niagara (OHL)
Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 171
47 GP | 13 G | 43 A
An explosive skater, Thomas also has a great motor. Combine that speed with some higher-end puck skills, and you have a threatening forward. He's having a strong season production-wise, going back to a standout performance at the Ivan Hlinka over the summer. He's a tough player to play against, as his speed can back down defenders, and he can really get after it on the forecheck.
18. Jacob Olofsson, C, Timra (Allsvenskan)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 192
35 GP | 9 G | 11 A
Playing a huge role in Sweden's second division pro league, Olofsson is putting up some really good numbers as well. On a per-game basis, he is having one of the better U18 seasons the Allsvenskan has seen, with William Nylander, David Pastrnak and Lucas Wallmark being the only players with a higher points-per-game than Olofsson as 17-year-olds. The fact that Timra is a first-place team with a 17-year-old playing more minutes than any other forward is rather impressive. He isn't an especially great skater in terms of overall speed, but he has some power in his stride, and as he gets physically stronger, I don't think it will hold him back with his size.
19. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, C, Assat (Liiga)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 188
46 GP | 8 G | 14 A
Holding his own against the pros, Kotkaniemi is fourth in scoring for Assat while playing middle-six minutes. No U18 player has had the same level of impact as Kotkaniemi in Liiga this year. He has solid puck skills and makes good decisions. To be able to play at this high a level in the pros, you have to have great hockey sense. He also isn't getting physically overmatched, as he already possesses a pro frame. He is slated to play in the upcoming U18 Five Nations in Michigan, which will be a great chance to see how he has progressed in his first year of pro hockey.
20. Rasmus Kupari, C, Hermes (Mestis)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 183
5 GP | 1 G | 3 A
Kupari has been bouncing around a bit this year but seems to be in the right place with Hermes in Finland's second pro division. He had outgrown the Finnish junior league but wasn't quite ready for prime time with Karpat in Liiga play. Kupari also had a limited role with Finland's World Juniors team. He is a slippery forward who has a mature offensive game, but his slight frame has made it tougher for those tools to shine. I'm looking forward to getting an extended look at him at the upcoming U18 Five Nations tournament against his peers.
21. Ryan McLeod, C, Mississauga (OHL)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 203
47 GP | 17 G | 36 A
Perhaps the most explosive skater in this draft class, McLeod's speed is a huge asset in today's NHL. On top of that, he's a big, strong forward. He's still figuring out how to use that big frame of his, though, and there are some scouts I've talked to who question his overall skill level. There's little doubt that he thinks about the game well and can shoot and make plays, but there are some limits to his offensive upside. He is only a few days too young to have gone in last year's draft, which is a factor as well, but it's clear that he has taken another step forward in his development this year.
22. Serron Noel, RW, Oshawa (OHL)
Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 205
42 GP | 18 G | 18 A
I think the sky is the limit for Noel, and he's only starting to scratch the surface of the kind of player he can be. The size obviously jumps out at you, but I think he moves very well and has higher-end puck skills for a player that big. He can still tack on even more muscle to become that much more challenging to play against, but he's already a handful for junior players. I'd like to see more power in his game and see him get a little more aggressive physically, but I think he has the offensive tools to be a special player further down the line. He's still fairly raw, so you've got to give him time.
23. Bode Wilde, D, U.S. Under-18 Team (USHL)
Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 195
36 GP | 7 G | 16 A
When it comes to physical tools, Wilde appears to be the total package. He has great size and strength, is a high-end skater and possesses strong offensive skills. He fares fine defensively for the most part, but I've heard from multiple scouts that they're not sure about his decision-making under pressure. Although Wilde can play a fast game, he doesn't always react well enough when he's faced with a tight forecheck or has to make a pass under duress. He also can take himself out of plays when there's an opportunity for offense. The risk in Wilde's game is notable, but his athleticism and higher-end skill for a player his size give him a high ceiling. A lot of teams will likely find great enough potential reward to live with the risk.
24. Ryan Merkley, D, Guelph (OHL)
Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 170
47 GP | 12 G | 45 A
The most polarizing player in the draft, Merkley even joked at last week's CHL Top Prospects Game that he's all over the map when it comes to draft projections, calling himself a wild card. There's no question that he's a remarkably skilled player. His offensive abilities are among the best in this draft, and that's of any player, forward or defenseman. Merkley is also a brilliant skater with an effortlessness to his speed and agility. That said, his defensive game is poor to the point that some teams are going to feel the risk is too great and take a pass. Based on some conversations I've had with scouts, there is a chance that he won't be on some teams' draft boards come June.
The team that ultimately selects Merkley is going to have to have a lot of patience. He is a project in a lot of ways, but the offensive talent he possesses is strong enough that I think some teams will take that risk.
25. Rasmus Sandin, D, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 184
34 GP | 6 G | 24 A
Playing in his first season in North America on a really strong team, Sandin is trending up. He's a smart player with decent offensive upside. Despite not being a huge guy, he doesn't back down. I've particularly liked what I've seen from him when he's under pressure. He's good in puck retrievals and getting it away quickly and accurately. There isn't a ton of flash here, but he does a lot of little things really well and plays a mature game overall.
26. Jared McIsaac, D, Halifax (QMJHL)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 196
47 GP | 6 G | 25 A
I really liked McIsaac in the Ivan Hlinka, and perhaps that set my expectations a little too high for what the season would bring for him. I still think there's a good NHL defenseman here, as he is a smart player with some good overall tools. He moves the puck fine, gets up the ice well and has good details to his game. I'm just not sure there's enough skill there for him to put up bigger numbers at the next level. I could see him ending up as a good No. 4 down the line.
27. K'Andre Miller, D, U.S. National Under-18 Team (USHL)
Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 206
36 GP | 6 G | 12 A
One of the more remarkable things about Miller is that he has been playing defense for only the past three years. While he still is catching up on the nuances of the position and getting the footwork down, his game is starting to take off a little bit. With great size and strength, Miller is a good skater up and down the ice. But again, his overall footwork probably has a ways to go, particularly while defending.
He also isn't putting up great numbers, but I think we're starting to see him get more confident in jumping into plays and making the right reads. There's a level of risk with this pick because of his relative inexperience, but if he keeps developing at this pace, he could be special.
28. Jett Woo, D, Moose Jaw (WHL)
Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 205
30 GP | 8 G | 15 A
A two-way defenseman who trends more toward the defensive side of things, Woo has a lot of good tools. He's a sturdy blueliner who can stand up opposing forwards often. He anticipates well and can pick his spots for when to turn it up ice. Currently dealing with an injury that knocked him out of the CHL Top Prospects game, Woo is in a bit of a holding pattern right now. He has played a lot of high-level hockey for Canada the past few years, which probably had him a little higher on lists coming into the season. He's had a solid rate of production in the WHL this year, but it's hard to envision him putting up a lot of points in the NHL. However, it isn't hard to see him playing a prominent role in the middle of a team's D corps.
29. Calen Addison, D, Lethbridge (WHL)
Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 180
48 GP | 7 G | 40 A
The run on skilled, under-6-foot defensemen in this draft is something else. Of all of them, Addison appears to be the most likely to fall out of the first round, but I still like his offensive tools enough to keep him in my top 31. Defensively, there are definitely some holes in his game, not helped by his smaller frame. Offensively, however, he has some dynamic qualities, including a very good shot and high-end distribution skills. Addison sees the ice well and can stretch the rink, too, which makes him a transition weapon.
30. Benoit-Olivier Groulx, C, Halifax (QMJHL)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 195
49 GP | 21 G | 18 A
In a draft in which you're not finding top-line centers, I think a guy such as Groulx can still provide some really good late-first-round value. A quick two-way center, Groulx is not going to put up a ton of points, but he can reliably play a variety of roles. He's got a little bite in his game, too. I think he has more skill than his numbers this season suggest, but it's hard to see him as more than a good No. 3 center at the next level.
31. Jack McBain, C, Toronto (OJHL)
Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 197
42 GP | 19 G | 32 A
I think McBain's draft stock has been trending down a bit. Scouts I've talked to wanted to see him assert himself this year after a strong performance at the Ivan Hlinka. While he's been a top player in the OJHL this season, there are some questions about his overall ability to produce. He has great size and moves fine for a bigger forward. There are some power elements to his game, and he's responsible enough defensively without being a true two-way center.
32. Dominik Bokk, RW, Vaxjo (SHL/SuperElit)
Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 180
27 GP | 12 G | 20 A
33. Filip Hallander, C, Timra (SHL)
