Summary

Rounds 2-7 are scheduled July 24 (11 a.m. ET; NHLN, SN, SN NOW).Here are what Pacific Division teams could be looking to do at the draft (listed in alphabetical order):ANAHEIM DUCKSTop priority: ScoringFirst pick: No. 3The situation: The Ducks have been in the bottom three in average goals per game for three straight seasons, including last this season (2.21), and their 8.9 percent power-play percentage was the lowest since the NHL began tracking the stat in 1977-78. General manager Bob Murray has said it's imperative for Anaheim to add offensive-minded top-six forwards, and the 2021 draft could be the best place to find that player.Possible fits: Dylan Guenther, RW, Edmonton (WHL); Matthew Beniers, C, Michigan (NCAA); William Eklund, LW, Djurgarden (SWE)CALGARY FLAMESTop priority: DefensemanFirst pick: No. 13The situation: The Flames have built a strong foundation of forward prospects led by Connor Zary (2020, No. 24), Jakob Pelletier (2019, No. 26) and Glenn Gawdin (free agent, Nov. 11, 2017). Adding more young players at the position to the prospect pipeline could be a priority considering Calgary's ice time leaders this season were 37-year-old defenseman Mark Giordano (22:57) and 31-year-old defenseman Christopher Tanev (21:44).Possible fits: Carson Lambos, D, Winnipeg (WHL); Corson Ceulemans, D, Brooks (AJHL); Matthew Coronato, RW, Chicago (USHL)EDMONTON OILERSTop priority: GoalieFirst pick: No. 20The situation: Mike Smith had a strong season, going 21-6-2 with a 2.31 goals-against average, .923 save percentage and three shutouts in 32 games (30 starts) to help the Oilers finish second in the seven-team Scotia North Division. But with a flat salary cap, having young talent on a fast development track is vital, so expect the Canucks to select the best offensive player available in the first round.Possible fits: Kent Johnson, C, Michigan (NCAA); William Eklund, LW, Djurgarden (SWE); Chaz Lucius, C, USA U-18 (NTDP)VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTSTop priority: DefensemanFirst pick: No. 30The situation: The Golden Knights have done well developing young forwards, including Cody Glass (2017, No. 6) and Peyton Krebs (2019, No. 17), who could be ready for NHL roles next season.
