NHL Draft top 3 draft picks
1st round - Nikita Zadorov - LD
Strongest part of his game is his defensive play. Zadorov has decent on-ice vision and reads play well most of the time. Very strong on and off of the puck, high stamina. The weakest part of his game is his goalscoring ability. Zadorov will log a good amount of ice time, but scouts worry that his injury history will follow him throughout his professional career. He seems coachable, but needs to learn to be a little better about it.
2nd round - Artturi Lehkonen - LW
The strongest part of Lehkonen's game is his skating. Some parts of his game still need to be worked on. He doesn't do any one thing great, but he does do a lot of things well. The weakest part of his game is his physical play. Do not expect him to throw multiple hits around a game. Currently there is no real weakness in Lehkonen's game that would cause him to be a liability.
3rd round - Sergei Tolchinsky - LW
Tolchinisky is known as a playmaker in this game. Tolchinsky has above-average stamina. The weakest part of his game is his physical play. Even the worst aspects his game are still relatively strong. He seems to get along with most of the players on his team and gels quickly. Not known to be dirty and with a good hockey IQ.
