The Florida Panthers need an offensive defenseman and at the 11 spot Thomas Chabot is a better than any pick. Chabot has spent the last two seasons in Saint John of the QMJHL. He netted himself  22 points (1-21) in the 2013-14 season, then, followed that up by registering 41 points (12-29) the next season. Chabot is a two-way defenseman who can think quickly while out on the ice and is very quick on his feet.

12. Dallas Stars

Oliver Kylington is a great pick up for any team that wants a two way defenseman who can also get in on the offensive side. Kylington spent the 2014-15 season between three teams but in 45 games he registered 19 points for them. A great play makers and skater, Kylington is a great pick for the Dallas Stars.

13. Los Angeles Kings

The Kings need a scoring forward and Travis Konecny would be a perfect fit for them. He has spent the last two seasons in the OHL playing for the Ottawa 67’s. In those two seasons he netted 70 points (26-44) in 2013-14 and 68 points (29-39) in the next season.

14. Boston Bruins

Nick Merkley

Center/Right Wing | Kelowna (WHL)

Like the Kings before them, the Bruins are in need of an elite scoring presence at forward. Nick Merkley has spent the last two season with the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. There he took off in 2013-14 he netted 58 points in the regular season along with 17 points in the playoffs. His sophomore season went even better he netted 90 points in the regular season then 27 points in the playoffs. Merkley is a great skater and scorer, he would be a great pick for the Bruins at 14.

15. Calgary Flames

You know a pick is good when this is said about him; “Could end up being that home-run pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. Few holes in his game. A low-risk, high-reward type of player. Reminiscent style of play to that of NHL D-man Keith Yandle.” –
