NHL Draft Grades: Instant analysis on each team's haul

Elmont, NY

The Islanders strengthened their top-six on Monday, signing Anthony Duclair to a four-year deal at an AAV of $3.5 million. The 28-year-old winger spent most of last season in San Jose, where he posted an underwhelming 0.48 points per game on a team severely lacking offensive talent. His linemates Mikael Granlund and Fabian Zetterlund had decent seasons, but it seems their playstyles didn't match Duclair's. He got a new lease on life when he was traded to Tampa Bay at the deadline. Joining forces with Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point, whose offensive skillsets complemented Duclair's speed nicely, Duclair posted 15 points in 17 appearances with the Lightning.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

With the 2024 NHL Entry Draft wrapping up in Las Vegas on June 29, all 32 teams added plenty of hopeful future NHLers to their organizations. Some teams made surprising moves, while others found themselves getting possible steals. Grading drafts almost immediately after the conclusion of it (especially an NHL Draft) is tough and can certainly prove to be wrong down the road, but with that said, let’s take a shot at it and see what they all look like in a few seasons.
