The IceHL head its draft Sunday night, where all 20 teams were present to kick off the latest season of the only league of its kind. After contracting to 20 teams from 40, many teams started completely anew, especially with talents like Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Leon Draisaitl available for taking. Here’s my breakdown of the draft, with each team’s best pick, worst pick, and an X-factor for the upcoming season.

Full disclosure: I have served as the Olympiques GM since the 2013-14 season, with an added year of service as Baltimore’s AGM during the 2012 lockout. I’ve made the playoffs twice, failing to make it out of the first round each time. I tend to like younger fantasy players with upside, which you will probably see in my recap.

Also, please don’t take any analysis personally. Unless I gave you a good review. Then absolutely take it personally. Enjoy!

Editor's Note: Jacob had his predictions listed at the end, but let's face it, that's what you really want to see first, isn't it? So here they are. But be sure to keep reading for his thoughtful, in-depth analysis of every team's draft. It really is quite interesting! —Chris
