6. New Jersey Devils

Pavel Zacha
Center | Sarnia (OHL)
Team full of players from the Czech Republic adds another when they select the highly skilled center. Exciting package of size and skill, which fills huge need on Devils.
7. Philadelphia Flyers
7
Lawson Crouse
Left Wing | Kingston (OHL)
Is there a more typical Flyer in the draft? Claims he is a lot like Milan Lucic but can score more. Listed at 6’4″ and 212 pounds and scored 29 goals on lousy Kingston team so his lofty comparison may not be far off.
8. Columbus Blue Jackets
9. San Jose Sharks
9
Zach Werenski
Defense | Michigan (NCAA)
Big, strong and skilled, Werenski scored 25 points in 35 games as a freshman defenseman at Michigan. Sharks short on young defenders so they fill a need.
10. Colorado Avalanche
10
Jakub Zboril
Defense | Saint John (QMJHL)
Stocked with great young talent up front, the Avalanche go a little off the baord to get the best defenseman available to fill a need. Big, skilled two way defender will make solid partner for Tyson Barrie in near future.
