Tampa Bay Lightning: Maxwell Crozier, D, Sioux Falls (USHL) He's the best piece that the Hurricanes added to their already deep system during the draft. 73 pick; it's arguable he was talented enough to go higher. Ranking: 11 | Nationality: CAN 161. Los Angeles Kings (from CBJ via OTT via TOR) – Alex Laferriere, RW, Des Moines, USHL Coaches won't have to worry about him too much because he's so poised and moves the puck with incredible efficiency, even though his offensive skills are not necessarily dynamic. Follow the entire 2019 NHL draft, pick-by-pick. As expected, Alexis Lafreniere was selected first overall by the New York Rangers, followed by the Los Angeles Kings taking Quinton Byfield at No. New York Islanders: Samuel Bolduc, D, Blainville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) Combine that skill with an elite shot that isn't as heavy as it is ridiculously quick and accurate.

Best of Round 1 | Hughes vs. Kakko New Jersey Devils (from BOS) – Ethan Edwards, D, Spruce Grove (AJHL) I haven't seen a prospect who has as keen a sense of time and space, and opponents have a hard time tracking Caufield on the ice. -- Kaplan, Where Caufield is most likely to play in 2019-20: NCAA (Wisconsin), Team: Victoria (BCHL) 2 overall. Also has an abrasive side and will deliver big hits with authority. The Sharks selected Kniazev in the second round, but he has first-round skating ability and instincts. He hounds the puck relentlessly but also knows how to settle things down to execute set plays off the turnover. Carolina Hurricanes — Ryan Suzuki, C, Barrie (OHL), The Hurricanes select center Ryan Suzuki from the OHL’s Barrie Colts. Grade: B+, 30. He has a mean streak, gets on pucks quickly and can finish. Los Angeles opened Day 2 by selecting right wing Arthur Kaliyev, who scored 51 goals in 67 games for Hamilton in the OHL this past season. Boston Bruins: Roman Bychkov, D, Yaroslavl 2 (Russia Jr.)
